Lil Baby's 'My Turn' Certified

Lil Baby's 'My Turn' has been officially certified as the highest-certified rap album of the 2020s, underlining the Atlanta rapper's commercial dominance. Meanwhile, Sean "Diddy" Combs secured an early prison release while continuing to fight his sentence on appeal.

Released in February 2020, Lil Baby's 'My Turn' debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart with 197,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week. The album's success marked a significant moment, giving Lil Baby a career total of 47 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, tying him with Prince and Paul McCartney. The record's longevity is notable; it was the most consumed album in the U.S. for 2020, with 2.632 million units. It returned to the top of the Billboard 200 for four additional weeks in June of that year and set a record by spending 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. By February 2026, "My Turn" was certified seven-times platinum by the RIAA, signifying seven million units in sales and streaming. The album's commercial success was bolstered by several hit singles, including "Woah," "Sum 2 Prove," and "The Bigger Picture," the last of which received two Grammy nominations at the 2021 awards. Guest appearances on the album included prominent artists such as Gunna, Future, Lil Wayne, and Young Thug. Meanwhile, Sean "Diddy" Combs's early release stems from his participation in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). His release date from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey has been moved up by about six weeks to April 25, 2028. This adjustment occurred even after his sentence was previously extended for alleged prison rule violations, including consuming homemade alcohol. Combs was sentenced on October 3, 2025, to four years and two months for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. This sentence came after a trial where he was acquitted of more severe charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He has been incarcerated since his arrest in September 2024. Combs's legal team filed an appeal in December 2025, seeking a conviction reversal or a sentence reduction, arguing prosecutorial missteps and constitutional violations. Prosecutors filed their opposition to the appeal in February 2026.
