Find out who became the KANG of Forbes in Hip-Hop this year!
After topping the FORBES’ Wealthiest Hip-Hop Earners list earlier this year, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continues his motto of “don’t worry if I write rhymes, I write checks.” The Harlem-Mt. Vernon native topped all artist in the earners for the year in the genre to become the undisputed Cash King.
At $60 million, Puffy can credit his Ciroc vodka brand, Sean John clothing and his Revolt network – even though we still don’t have the long-awaited No Way Out 2 album. Right behind him, however, was JAY Z at $56 million, as the rap mogul didn’t release solo music this year either but used his Roc Nation label, Armand de Brignac champagne and of course live shows to generate money.
Take a look at the full list below after you watch the brief clip above.
1. Diddy – $60 Million
2. JAY Z – $56 Million
3. Drake – $39.5 Million
4. Dr. Dre – $33 Million
5. Pharrell – $32 Million
