DJ Khaled’s Summer 2020 Smash Hit Single With Drake, “Popstar,” Officially Goes Platinum

His previous album was ‘Father of Asahd‘ in May 2019, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and was led by singles such as “Just Us” featuring SZA and “Top Off” featuring Jay Z, Beyoncé, and Future. Fans are also waiting on Drake’s upcoming ‘Certified Lover Boy‘ album after he made the announcement of the title following the release of his “Laugh Now Cry Later” single with Lil Durk last month.
