50 Cent, Jay Z, and Diddy all topped the Forbes Hip Hop Cash King lists! Read below:
It’s been some year for Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. In the past 12 months, the Brooklyn, N.Y.-born hip-hop demigod released a platinum album, signed a 10-year, $150 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation and tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Beyoncé Knowles. Quite a record. But only good enough for a silver medal. While Jay-Z topped Forbes.com’s inaugural Hip-Hop Cash Kings list of the top-earning people in the business last year, in 2008 he cedes the throne to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who raked in $150 million over the past 12 months–almost twice what Jay-Z made.
Go head 50 for knocking Jay and Diddy down! I like to see someone else rise to the occasion! Not for nothing but I hear Tupac made the list by making 15 Million this year... Huh? Can't be made at him even if he is six feet under!
