Kanye West, Jay Z, Drake, Diddy, all on Forbes list of highest earners

Let’s be honest who would have thought Kanye West could topple Jay Z in Forbes list of higest earners in hip-hop… I’m sure even Kim Kardashian couldn’t have seen that one coming.

Considering the fact that Kanye West hasn’t been that fully active with his music these days, so how did he outgun ace rapper Jay Z in the latest Forbes list of highest earners for 2019. It’s simple, Ye simplify focused on his fashion brand ‘Yeezy’, and his brand is set to hit about $1.5Billion in sales this year.

Beyonce’s hubby Jay Z comes in second behind Kanye, with about $81million, followed by Drake & Diddy in third & fourth respectively in the 2019 highest earners list in hip-hop.
