Diddy Obliterates Forbes' List Of Highest-Earning Hip-Hop Artists

Forbes released its list of the highest-earning hip-hop cash cows, and it's clear that Diddy makes way more than 50 Cent.

And he's glad that Forbes got it right, telling the magazine, "You started learning how to count right, I see. Thank God!"

Sean Combs, AKA Puff Daddy/P.Diddy/Diddy, reeled in $50 million in the past 12 months, thanks to his Bad Boy record label, Sean John clothing line, Blue Flame agency, and endorsement deal with Diageo's Ciroc vodka.

The rap mogul has payed close attention to Forbes' rankings over the years, and hasn't always agreed with its estimates of his fortune.

In 2007, Diddy teamed up with Jay Z and 50 Cent on the track "Forbes I Get Money Billion Dollar Remix" to celebrate their inclusion on Forbes' first-ever Hip-Hop Cash Kings list. Click to hear the brag anthem.

But when he slipped from the number-one spot in 2010, he fired shots at Forbes, rapping on a Rick Ross track:

"F--- the Forbes list; let's tell the truth, I ate more/

I got a billion, baby - time to get me eight more."

Diddy has an estimated net worth of $580 million, so he can afford a little creative license.
