Tony Dayimane Responds to Double Platinum Achievement of “Big Boy” EP
The Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) recently took to social media to announce that Tony Dayimane’s Big Boy EP, released on June 16, 2023, has been certified Double Platinum—a significant milestone for this up-and-coming artist.
However, rather than joining in the celebrations, Dayimane responded with a terse remark: “no plaque cap…”
This cryptic yet straightforward response, which followed RiSA’s congratulatory announcement, implies that the artist has yet to receive the actual certification plaque that typically accompanies such accolades. This raises questions about the timing or accuracy of the announcement.
Dayimane’s Big Boy EP has made a significant impact across South Africa, gaining both street cred and critical acclaim, and now—reportedly—achieving multi-platinum recognition.
Establishing himself as a key figure in the hip-hop scene, Dayimane’s Big Boy showcases his ability to blend raw street narratives with high-quality production, earning him a dedicated fan base and broad recognition. While declaring double platinum status for a debut project is major, the absence of tangible evidence leaves some uncertainty.
