| 2011-08-10 - Music News Jay-Z tops Forbes Hip-Hop Rich List | ||
 -- Michael J Morsella - Celebrity News Service Contributor New York, NY, United States (Celebrity News Service) - Rapper Jay-Z has topped the Forbes Hip-Hop Cash King list yet again raking in a healthy $37 million over this past year. Jay-Z tops the list for the fourth time in five years with Diddy coming in a close second with $35 million, and Kanye West coming in a distant third with $16 million. "Fueled by the tail end of his 'Blueprint 3' Tour and a vast portfolio of business interests, Jay-Z barely edged second-ranked Diddy-who raked in $35 million, roughly half of that total coming from a lucrative partnership with Diageo's Ciroc vodka-but handily topped West, who earned $16 million," Zach O'Malley Greenberg's article in Forbes stated about the list. "Jay-Z and Kanye are hip-hop ambassadors," Steve Stoute, chief of branding firm Translation and author of The Tanning of America added. Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaboration album "Watch The Throne" is set to be released on August 12th after being released digitally on August 8th. The power pair will be going on a co-headlining tour this fall. Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings 1. Jay-Z: $37 million 2. Diddy: $35 million 3. Kanye West: $16 million 4. Lil Wayne: $15 million 4.
