Yeah, I saw that list on some website. Abeg, y'all should stop calling diddy, dude is wack.

I think the amount on the list is actually from Sean John because when last did he release an album??

Or he probably sucked it out of Danity Kane and Day26 - his money machines.

most of these rappers earn nothing from their albums, their record companies buy their albums

and they lie to us about selling 1 million copies. for where?? Tongue

Anywayz, 50 - another wack one, congratulations to him though. I can't hate on the rich. Cheesy

@chiogo
My mom's sister stays in the Big D too many whites in her neighbourhood i just had to get some Mavs merchandise i caught the Mavs fever from her

I do strongly believe that if Diddy sells his shit he would probably go past both Fiddy and Jigga

@A-40, yeah, that's why I thought you stay in TX. You're a mav. fan. Whatcha mean too many whites? LOL! Trust me, you don't want to live in a black neighborhood, too many shootings!

Yo, I don't like that nigga, diddy. But oh well, who cares who's the richest? It's not like they'll gimme half.

Fiddy is the highest earner in $$$
The coca cola deal last year took him beyond Jigga, Diddy or Fuckever.
50 is the future. All haters can drink goat's piss. Grin

@ Hanibal,  next year jigga would be d highest by far, reasons being
1. He got an album comin out soon and
2. He just signed a 150 millie dols worth of contract on tours

Why are folks always hating on 50? He is a brilliant monehy maki ng machine and mind all u folks talking bout Jayz's rocawear sales, forbes out all those into consideration before releasing thislist,  you keep forgetting 50 has his own clothin label, snicker lines, recording label, book company, loads of stuffs jay z would only dream of,

@ xtremeshock nobody is hating on anybody, jayz selling rocawear was included in the list forbes released last year. The list is not about being the richest, its about how much people earned that year,

AS 4 GUNIT CLOTHING LINES AND SNICKER LINES,  ITS ALL DEAD, REEBOK HAVE STOPPED ITS DEAL WITH GUNIT,  GUNIT CLOTHING AND ALL IS DEAD,

50cents money is from vitamin water he sold last year that wasnt considered plus he is staring in 2 big movies that would be released this year, get it.
