Puff Daddy Tops Forbes Magazine Hip Hop Earner List





Puff Daddy
Forbes Magazine has released 2016 list of top hip hop earners.

It includes some of the top hip-hop artists, such as Eminem, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Nicki Minaj.

However, Diddy/P. Diddy/Puff Daddy/Sean Combs got the no. 1 spot, earning $62 million.  The 46-year-old artist, mogul, and entrepreneur is running this game with his business in CIROC, his Bad Boy Reunion Tour, and other business ventures.

This will actually be the second consecutive year Diddy is no. 1 but the fifth time in six years.  Are we surprised?  Not really.  Mr. Combs has been grinding behind the scenes for years.

Cash Kings’ runner-up goes to Jay Z, earning $53.5 million and Dr. Dre following behind in the no. 3 spot with $41 million.
