Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Sean ‘Jay-Z’ Carter have officially moved down a slot. Dr. Dre pleasantly surprised a lot of people when he was named Forbes’ #1 Hip-Hop Cash King with earnings of $110 million this past year (probably with much thanks to his Beats By Dre headphones). #ClapForHim.
Diddy comes in at number 2, and Jay-Z at number 3. With all of their business ventures as well as several up and coming rappers, it’ll be exciting to see who tops the list next year. Wiz Khalifa, Pit Bull and Eminem also made the list.
Should also probably note the queen Barb herself, Nicki Minaj, is holding it down as the only female on the list. :)
