Jayz Now Forbes’ Richest Hip Hop Artiste
Rapper Jayz has recently been crowned the richest hip hop mogul in the business, overtaking long time champion, Diddy. According to Forbes, Jayz is now the richest hip hop artiste with close to $1 billion in the bag, a position which he has never occupied.
Diddy who has always occupied the position dropped to the second position with an estimated wealth of N825 million. Forbes says the reason for Jayz’s wealth went all up on the table through his new business interest in alchhol . He bought a stake in Armand de Brignac and D’usse’ cognac which increased his net worth .
Let us not also forget the nine figure ownership stakes in his Roc Nation Empire and Tidal stressing service.
Third in the list is Dr Dre who also happens to be the oldest on the list. At the age 53, whose net worth is estimated at $770 million which according to Forbes is as a result of Apples’ purchase of Bests head phone line.
The fourth position got a tie between Drake and Eminem, the latter is said to be appearing in this host for the first time which largely is as a result of his recent back on the road tour of his album ‘Revival’ which is his first album in the last four years.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
