DaBaby and Roddy Ricch‘s ubiquitious hit “Rockstar” has now crossed off an important milestone.
On Friday (September 4), Chart Data shared that the Charlotte star’s second Blame It On Baby single was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), shipping over four million units since its April 24 release.
DaBaby and Roddy’s collaboration initially blew up on TikTok before reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in June. The song continued to reign on the chart as temperatures heated up. Spotify confirmed “Rockstar” was officially the most-streamed Song of Summer 2020 with over 380 million streams.

“Rockstar” hitting quadruple platinum status only adds to the success of DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby. The album, which followed up 2019’s KIRK, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 124,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

F**kin Tiktok is to blame for this.
How many different rappers are going to go platinum off a song called “Rockstar” let’s see….we have Cypress Hill, Post Malone, you can’t forget Shop Boyz’ “Party Like A Rockstar”… Artist are getting so innovative these days.
I love how the the violence in the video is tempered by periodic shots of a child walking through a golden field. You can tell these guys are great citizens and role models for our youth. I hope that the Mayor of Charlotte gives DaBaby another platform to speak to community in the near future. Heck, maybe they both can bring matching glocks and have a sing-a-long. And if that’s not enough they can get the choppa!
