Forbes released the TOP wealthiest rappers list… It’s interesting to see who made the list and how two rappers are tied for the #5 spot. I remember when Baby from Cash Money made the following statement about Jay Z not being Number One because Wayne makes more money…
“I don’t think he the number one MC in No kind of way… Wayne the best, he do the most and he make the most money. I don’t think no n*gga in the business make more money than us. How could you be the best if you don’t make the best money, the most money and you don’t do the most”.. “who making the most money? that’s who’s number one to me, F*** all that rap shit, it’s about who’s making the most money to me, I don’t give a f*** about the rest of that shit, if you makin money that’s what matters to me.”
I don’t agree with Baby’s statement… If being the #1 rapper is truly based on who makes the most money… then he may wanna re-think that statement. Being the BEST MC has nothing to do with who makes more money it’s based on skill… BUT, if you agree with Baby and base who should have the #1 MC title based on money status… then I guess Diddy is the #1 rapper in Hip Hop. Forbes has spoken…
“When it comes to net worth, Jay-Z is number two. The top spot goes to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who tops our accounting of rap’s richest with a fortune of $475 million, fueled by his interests in Sean John clothing, Bad Boy Worldwide record label and, most significantly, his Diageo joint-venture vodka brand Ciroc. Jay-Z ranks a close second, with $450 million. Superproducer/rapper Dr. Dre ranks third with $125 million, fueled by past earnings generated from his own career and by helping to launch those of Snoop Dogg and Eminem. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, a onetime Dr. Dre protege who reaped a nine-figure payday from the sale of Vitamin Water to Coca-Cola, rounds out “the top five in a tie with Cash Money Records cofounder Bryan “Birdman” Williams at $100 million.
