[Mark Antony]

Damn, them cats strictly make music while Diddy is out here slangin 20 businesses just to keep up.

 

[tr1ll]

Not a very....colorful list is it?

 

[trunks206]

Diddy made 60m off his music in 2015??? Really? Or is this list just in general how much artist made off all their ventures? Are people still buying Ciroc like that?

 

[capital sb]

Just to keep up? Diddy made more than all rappers with no music at all. I say he's doing the best you won't be a rapper forever.

 

[putting in work]

Man I find that hard to believe Kay Perry really didn't do much this year.

How was Beyonce not on this list?

 

[Belgium]

Lady Gaga made 59 million this year? I don't remember hearing her on the radio or anything.
Thought Taylor Swift was gonna be #1

 

[flesh prince]

Damn Drake not on here?

How much harder the ***** gotta grind?

 

[tr1ll]

Drake?

HA!

 

[mr jordan04]

[jjs]

[tero]

Its probably because of all of the apple music contract restrictions

 

[FreshLeeLA]

[flyny]

Jay Z isn't on list
List is accurate

#Daddy #only

 

[ksteezy]

Russell Brand lost

Far from it, he flipped the script and took her for some of her money

We should all take notes from that man...lol

 

[mplsdunk]

Calvin Harris stays on these lists. That Vegas money is no joke.

 

[Mark Antony]

Calvin Harris stays on these lists. That Vegas money is no joke.

I think Ye is a fool for not getting in on that, even for just a little bit.

 

[flesh prince]

Drake?

HA!

I know, people think these rappers actually make money off records. Drake doesn't seem all that business savvy to me, he better figure it out soon cause his gimmick is going to be over.



Where's Dr Dre? I know he's up there somewhere.

Except he has deals with Sprite, Jordan Brand and most importantly Apple, and also went on tour two or three times this year...

I don't think album royalties are his main source of income.

 

[frank mucus]

Drake owns his own royalties or does Lil Wayne or Baby own them

Calvin Harris stays on these lists. That Vegas money is no joke.

I think Ye is a fool for not getting in on that, even for just a little bit.

I would. That's like 200k a week these guys are getting for a residency. He must be too good to do a show once a week.

 

[nazdrowie]

i hate these people because they are rich
