Forbes has released their annual reports of the richest hip-hop artistes for 2016. The richest artiste for the year is P.Diddy, worth $750M. Diddy is living off his 2015 mixtape, Money making mitch (MMM), Ciroc vodka, Sean John, Revolt and Aquahydrate.

Dr Dre is the second on the list with a net worth of $710M, thanks to the sale of Beats by Dr Dre, the biopic released last year, Straight outta Compton and a portfolio of Southern CA real estate.

                     

Jay-Z is the third on the list with a net worth of $610M, thanks to his newly acquired TIDAL, though started rough for the business mogul, but it is now worth 3x more than he acquired ($56m) the service.

When Birdman said "Put a Respeck on my name" when he was at the breakfast club, at least we now know the man knows what he is saying. Standing on the number four of the richest hip-hop artiste of 2016 is Birdman, CEO of Cash money records.

Even though Birdman lost $30 of his fortune due to trouble in his label, the mogul was able to climb up the list by a spot in 2016.

Welcoming the newest member to the list of richest rappers. Drake, has just made the list in 2016. The money was earned via his music, touring, and multi-million dollar paycheck from sprite, Nike and Apple.

Birdman is not happy with the breakfast club host, Charlamagne Da god, Angela Yee and DJ Envy. He accused the radio host of not respecting him and his name, and he doesn't want to take the matter to the street, and therefore is meeting with the men to discuss the issue.

                      

He walked to the studio with some of his henchmen, and said;

"Stop playing with my f**king name!" 

The Cash money records CEO is pissed after the radio host and their radio callers clowned him for not paying one of his artistes, Lil Wayne.

Birdman was not in a good mood, and he doesn't seem to be playing around.
