#BBB NEWS| All About The Benjamins: Diddy & Jay Z Top Richest Men In Hip Hop List

Yes, Diddy and Jay Z are still rich. That should come as no surprise, but just in case you were unclear of how filthy rich these two moguls are, Forbes released its “Richest Men in Hip Hop” list this month, placing the two Sean’s in the top two.

According to the “Forbes Five’ list, Diddy is the number one baller with a whopping $820 million. Most of that hard-earned cash is attributed to his various partnerships with Cîroc vodka, DeLeon tequila, and a very large and lucrative stake in Revolt.TV.

Jay Z, who was third on the list last year, moved up to the number two seat, raking in $810 million. Jigga reportedly saw a 30% increase in dollar bills after Sprint invested $200 million in Tidal, which ultimately boosted the streaming service’s worth to $600 million.

#BBB NEWS| Birdman Calls Off Negotiations With Lil Wayne In $51 Million Lawsuit After He Disses Him Again [VIDEO]

It was starting to look like Birdman and Lil Wayne were close to an agreement. The former Cash Money partners were reportedly settling their extensive legal battle, but Birdman decided to call off all negotiations regarding the lawsuit, after Lil Wayne pulled one last stunt dissing his former mentor.

According to TMZ,  sources close to the situation confirmed that both legal parties were one meeting away from reaching a deal, when Lil Wayne decided to slide one last diss in.

During Tunechi’s LA show earlier in November, the rapper changed around the lyrics in his single, “I’m Me.” The song originally had a line that shouted out his former label Cash Money, but Weezy subbed it out for a Jay Z  and Roc Nation shout out, in light of his strained relationship with his former mentor. Wayne followed that subtle diss by saying “Suck my d*ck!” at the same show, according to video footage.

#BBB NEWS| Birdman Ordered To Present Financial Records To Judge

A judge has ordered Birdman and his team to bust out the books in his legal battle with Lil Wayne.

According to TMZ, Birdman’s lawyers have been forced to show just how an alleged missing $100 million advance was spent. Since bringing his issues with Birdman to light last year, Wayne claimed the Cash Money CEO spent the majority of the multi-million dollar advance they were meant to share.

So far, Birdman’s lawyers have presented over 20,000 documents to the defense, but they were reportedly full of fluff.

Birdman now has 30 days to turn over the appropriate documents –or else. His lawyers haven’t painted the best outcome for the businessman. Sources claimed the company’s bookkeeping wasn’t at it’s best over the past two years, with one of his lawyers noting, “It is what it is.”

#BBB NEWS| Birdman And Slim Are Reportedly Working On A Cash Money Biopic

It looks like another rap collective will be immortalized on the silver screen. Following the global success of N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton film, Cash Money Records will reportedly follow its blueprint and debut their own biopic in the near future.

According to XXL, Birdman and Slim, co-owners of the longstanding label, are planning to pack in told and untold stories of the musical imprint, and Straight Outta Compton served as a catalyst to get serious about penning and producing the motion picture.

“[Look at the] Straight Outta Compton [movie]. I think that Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are geniuses for what they have done and accomplished,” Birdman said during an appearance at Brooklyn Law School on Tuesday (Apr. 19). “For them to do that [movie] and to make it trend-setting, they opened doors for us, and I think that what we have is way more special because we’re in modern times.”

Things are continuing to look up for Lil Wayne and Birdman, as the two took the stage at the LIV nightclub in Miami on Sunday night (Jan. 17).

Following a year-long dispute between the two over the delayed release of Wayne’s Carter V album, and a whopping $51 million lawsuit that ensued, the two have made their second appearance together since the start of 2016.

While in front of the crowd, Birdman took the opportunity to publicly declare his love for Wayne, noting that he will take necessary measures for his “son.”

#BBB NEWS| Birdman Breaks His Silence On Lil Wayne Beef: “That F*cked My Day Up” [PHOTO]

We never really thought we’d see the day when Birdman and Lil’ Wayne were at odds. Taking it even further, there’s now rumors of violence and club showdowns between the two former “father and son.”

In 2015, the Cash Money Army is looking lonelier than ever with Weezy and the Hot Boys doing their own thing (Aside from Juvenile who remains with the label).

Until now, Baby has kept his silence. However, that all changes today with his first full length interview about the drama with Wayne. Power 105’s Angie Martinez recently spent a weekend with Birdman in Miami Beach to get all the goods.

“Nicki and Drake ain’t goin’ nowhere,” says Birdman during his interview with Angie Martinez. For 48 hours in Miami Beach, Angie and Baby spent time discussing all that happened with Cash Money and Young Money in the last year.

#BBB NEWS| Birdman Suing Jay-Z & TIDAL For Streaming Lil Wayne’s ‘FWA’ Exclusively

The exclusive on the Free Weezy Album has probably been the best thing that’s happened to TIDAL since Jay Z took it over.

However, it could end up costing Hov big in court.

Birdman is now suing TIDAL for $50 million for streaming FWA, arguing Cash Money has the exclusive rights to all of Lil Wayne’s music.

TMZ has seen the lawsuit, and they report it’s full of shots at Jay Z and Weezy.

The suit claims the FWA exclusive is TIDAL’s “desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service.” It also said FWA got “tepid reviews.”

#BBB NEWS| Check Out Forbes 5 Wealthiest Hip-Hop Artists Of 2015 [PHOTOS]

It’s that time of year again. Forbes presents hip-hop’s wealthiest artists/businessmen. And 2015’s coveted roster includes the likes of: Dr.Dre, 5O Cent, Jay Z, Birdman and Diddy.

There was a lot of talk last year stipulating that Dr.Dre was the wealthiest man in the hip-hop industry when he sold his Beats By Dre headphone empire to Apple for a whopping $3 billion. After taxes however, the mogul rounded up a $700 million dollar net worth—making Diddy the richest man in hip-hop with a cool $735 million in his bank account.

With a slew of business ventures including: clothing lines Enyce and Sean John, multimedia network Revolt, alkaline water brand AQUAhydrate and a new tequila called DeLeon, it’s no surprise Mr. Combs took all the cake home this year.

“Sean has been aggressive in being sure that we put the power of the platform in the hands of musicians to be able to create with fans in their authentic voice,” said Revolt’s chief executive Keith Clinkscales.“Revolt got built out of the frustration Sean was having with music media being able to get his albums out there.”
