Ayra Starr has made history as the first African artist to receive a Latin Diamond certification.
The Nigerian singer achieved this milestone with her hit collaboration Santa, alongside Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro. The track earned the prestigious Diamond status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after surpassing 35 million streams.
She now joins Rema, whose track Bubalu holds a Latin Platinum certification, as one of only two African artists to be honoured by the RIAA in the Latin category.
Santa has also been certified multiple Platinum in both Spain and Mexico. It topped the charts in Spain and reached No. 2 in Colombia, Ecuador, and across Central America.
