It’s time of the year again when Forbes releases the list of the world’s highest paid Hip-Hop artists in the world. Diddy tops the list this year with $50 million, thanks to his Bad Boy record label, Sean John clothing line, Blue Flame agency and of course stake in Diageo’s Ciroc vodka. His cable channel Revolt will be launching this Fall on Time Warner and Comcast which should further rise his stock.
