When Jay-Z rapped about making it in America he certainly wasn’t joking because his business ventures have earned him a slot among the highest-earning Hip-Hop acts on the 2012 Forbes Cash Kings ranking. However, on a lineup featuring Dr. Dre, Kanye West and Diddy, who came out on top?
David Guetta lived up to the expectations of industry pundits as his ‘Nothing but the Beat’ album has debuted in the top 3 of the UK Albums Chart. However, he wasn’t the only act making a major impact on the tally as Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter IV’ has also entered the top 10.
Forbes has unveiled the annual list of Hip-Hop’s top 20 earners and as usual, Jay-Z has landed at #1. The rap icon has outperformed all other contenders including Diddy, Eminem and even Kanye West.
