Drake is the first artist to surpass 350 million RIAA-certified units and is the most certified artist of all time. He also extends his record with 18 diamond plaques, which is the highest amount of any artist.

With all the new plaques on the way, Drizzy’s going to need another trophy room. The 6 God has plenty to celebrate this weekend, as Drake will be turning 40 on Saturday (Oct. 24).

He started the festivities earlier this week with a dinner above the CN Tower and a courtside outing at the Toronto Raptors home opener. Drake made his way to NYC and was spotted moving around the Big Apple on Thursday night (Oct. 22) with a dinner stop at Mamo.
