#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| WATCH: Drake Shows Off His Awkward Dance Moves In Hilarious New Apple Music Commercial [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

However you may feel about Drake, one cannot deny the Views artist is multitalented. Whether its his singing, rapping or acting, Aubrey Graham can do it all, including make others laugh by making a fool of himself.

During Sunday night’s (Nov. 21) American Music Awards, where Drake was nominated for 13 awards, Drizzy also appeared in his first Apple Music commercial. In the clip, Drake is in the gym bench pressing. His friend, an equally swol dude then walks off camera and Drake is by himself to play whatever music he wants and obviously, he picks Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.” Swift starred in an Apple Music commercial many moons ago  in which she was seen running on a treadmill singing along to Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” before falling flat on her face.
