They’ve got swag, the best punch lines and are multi-millionaires.
Forbes, today Wednesday 16th April 2014, unveiled its list of the Five Wealthiest Hip-Hop Artists for 2014.
Can you guess the richest? Some of you may know him as Puff Daddy or P Diddy, but now he goes by the name Diddy, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Diddy raked in a whopping $700 Million, a $120 million increase from last year. Dr. Dre comes in second, Jay Z third, Birdman fourth and 50 Cent wraps up the list.

Wow! Lol @ “For ladies hoping to nab one of these rappers, they are either married, dating or have baby mama dramas”
old gist
Diddy gave them a big gap. Wao! As at last year jayz waz number 2 now number 3. Waz up jigga?
Nigga I am the richest Rapper alive….FACTS
Cool, i knew d no.1 is DIDDY, but never xpect JAYZ to b no.3, what a mater wrong? DR. DRE? no.2? cant believe it. sometin is not right
BEATS by Dre. Google it, the sales figures are mind blowing. I don’t even know how Jay Z keeps making it to the top of the list. Roca Wear was sold ages ago. Live Nations was a 150 million dollar deal. Roc Nation only has Rihanna, J Cole and Kanye as Artists. So where is his money really coming from. D’Usse cognac can’t hold a candle to Ciroc in terms of sales. He’s def over blown. But he’s wealthy, nonetheless.
Kanye West?
What investments does he have? Song writing and singing can’t take you very far. If it’s his clothes, they were panned.
@ Francis..best believe mate!! Dr Dre has been in the game for long so him being at number 2 is very fair!
hahahaha@ married, dating or baby mama dramas. i assure you, that will NOT stop some ladies
That guy called Diddy inspires me like hell. The guys is just too smooth.
