“I like diamonds, I like stunting, I like shining,” Cardi B raps on “I Like It” — which has now been, appropriately, diamond-certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The Latin-trap summer banger, which features J Balvin and Bad Bunny, has moved 10 million units. According to the RIAA, one equivalent song unit is equal to a single digital song sale, or 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams. She became the first female rapper to have a diamond-certified song earlier this year with her major-label debut single “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves).” “I Like It” is now Cardi’s third diamond-certified smash, following “Bodak Yellow” and “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5, which hit the record on Nov. 29, according to the RIAA’s website.
