Sexyy Red, the self-proclaimed “Hood’s hottest princess” – got another jewel from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to add to her crown this week.
Taking to press on Wednesday (November 27), the RIAA announced Red’s latest Hot 100 hit – the GloRilla-led ‘Whatchu Kno About Me‘ – had crossed the organization’s threshold for Gold certification.
For context, “Gold” denotes sales equivalence of 500,000 in the United States.
The news came just days after the Boosie Badazz-sampling cut reached a new peak on the Hot 100, becoming the fourth top 20 hit of Red’s career following previous smashes ‘Rich Baby Daddy,’ ‘Get It Sexyy,’ and ‘Sticky.’
Further, the RIAA update for ‘Whatchu’ arrived just a week after the organization reported a similar upgrade for the deluxe edition of her breakout mixtape ‘Hood Hottest Princess.’
