DeleteBreezy_p loving MTN
Why am I seeing Dra's money as a sum total of all of dem... Money cough shit walks...
DeleteHow did Mac miller get to dat list pls
Delete@PURPLE, how much did you make from june 2013-june 2014. Feel free to quote it in Naira.
DeleteChaii, Jehovah God, when is my turn?
ReplyDeleteSo good to see 'ye @ that spot. Drake & Macklemore tho...when did they start rapping wey dem hold reach like this?
ReplyDeleteBig up Dre mehnnnn that's some mad accomplishment, see dusting.
Jay boo! We still on top 2015 will break that tie .xoxo
U talk so fishy man!! Go to school and learn how to read b4 u make comments!! d amount u saw there is not wot dey are worth rather itz d total money dey got frm showz all tru d year fish brain!!
DeleteNow looking for where I mentioned anything about their worth. Notice d comment about Jay breaking tie in 2015? Reference to amount he will make in d next year in review seeing as he started his tour in July 2014. So shut ur stinking mouf there MOFO. Na u be mumu here
DeleteOh! And I ain't a "man" no proper man gat time to leave and reply comment on blogs. + Emmmm it isn't d money they made from "shows" Dre did have any show in 2014 lol.
Delete@ Gabriel Philips, y r u so bitter tho? U really do need to shut up, if what he said was right or wrong does it warrant the insults? Or they hired you here as interpreter? If u think you know it all can't you explain without sounding rude? U clearly have a very poor upbringing. Try sharpening your people/communication skills you need it.
DeleteI want to be like dr Dre in terms of finances only oooooo! #waoooh# to have that kind of cash #smiling# just at the mere thought!
ReplyDeleteKudos 2 Diddy n Jay Z for being so strong afta all dis yrs. For tje rest, drake, pharell etc enjoy while it lasts

Eminem, kendrick surprised they made d list
Rozay the most noisy rap artist wth all d blinks and songs he releases on daily basis, only 7mil
Why would u be surprised eminem made d list. Monster was a great hit last year and early this year. His tour with Rihanna is highly successful.

ReplyDelete2) Kanye west I so much love dah dude loves d way he raps and murder beats with different approach to it, not dah one patterned jayZ dah always say uh uh uh,listen to the song ''tom ford'' u wud knw dah dude is wack.
3)Eminem shud hv bin second in this group if it's been judged by talent dude got it..while kanye comes 3rd..jayz can go hawk dry fish rapin aint his thing.
4) Wahs nicki minaj doing there,with her folded silicon waist I guess her money is not up to dah again ooo cus I sense she might have done surgery to correct her wasit dah shifts from front to back d other day.
Shut up there! What do you know? Ignoramus. His "uh uh uh" has opened a million doors for him. What have ur senseless comments on diff blogs done for u? Stay begging
DeleteU making sense,kanye is far better than that jayZ.

Nice... But sports still make much more money... D money footballers make makes me cry y i can't play ball...
ReplyDeleteImbecile, how many footballers make 20mil in a year?
DeleteE ma wo didirin yi sha...how many footballers make up to 10m dollars every year?u better forget football and start rapping or singing..
DeleteUummmm...bcos u r an ugly gay skinny bitch...maybe
DeleteQuit bashing him already, Yes some footballers makes far much more money than some musicians but that's not it you guys are just plain homophobic... Onyx I don't know if you are gay,,but if you are, you have to understand that people will always try to pull you down so they can feel better about their pathetic lives.... Live and let others live Nigerians after all nobody holy pass....
DeleteDre tho.. 620millie??? WOOO! Thot Luda was or is broke? So wit all of RickRoss's noise...smh. I'm so proud of Wiz khalifa sa.
ReplyDeleteDr Dre worths the No. 1 spot... I love all his drops.
ReplyDeleteAm surprised that 50Cent was not in Top 10.
Nick Minaj is a super Woman... She must have put in double effort for her to be in the Top 20.
Infact, all artists in the list are my Sweeties.

ReplyDeleteI am on my way way to that list.i will make it.
ReplyDelete'thought Dr DRe was a billionaire, am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteDre should be close to being a billionaire. Remember, his worth before dat big deal frm Apple was arnd 350m or so. Deal was worth 3billion$. The beatsbydre company beatd elctronics was co-owned by Dr Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Carlyle Group LP and Universal Music Group which is the largest record Label. So after tax, Dre git $640m frm d deal cos he had d lowest share in d venture. Jimmy his partner had %25 is now a Billionaire
DeleteLinda pls post my comment.
ReplyDeleteHova 4 life
ReplyDeleteHova
ReplyDeleteChoi c money baba God na ur hand i dey oooooo.
ReplyDeleteDr. Dre shouldn't have sold his BBD venture tho'. #justSaying.. it was very possible to evolve it into a major LIFE brand. Eminem is supposed to be in a much higher position and.. and What fucking HipHop act is BirdMan really??
ReplyDelete#Fizz
Totally agree wit u on Dre sellin his venture to apple. I tell u, he wud be a billionaira in no time if he did nt sell it. D same way one of the cofounders of Apple namely, Ronald Wayne, gave up his own share of d company for less than $1000 whn apple was stil so New in d industry. But today, Apple is d most admired company in d world and Apple is the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated market capitalization of $446 billion as of January 2014
DeleteSHEY YOU PEOPLE DON FORGET THAT DR DRE SOLD BEAT NI... OF COURSE HE IS NOW VERY RICH... OMO IGBO OF AMERICA... hehehehe
ReplyDeleteseen
