Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has made history as the first African artist to receive a Latin Diamond certification.

Her global hit ‘Santa’, a collaboration with Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro, earned the prestigious Latin Diamond status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after surpassing 35 million streams.

She now joins fellow Nigerian star Rema, whose track ‘Bubalu’ is certified Platinum, making them the only African artists with RIAA Latin certifications.

‘Santa’ has also achieved multi-Platinum status in Spain and Mexico, topping the Spanish charts and reaching No. 2 in Colombia, Ecuador, and across Central America.
