Quote
To formulate the Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, we consider pretax income from touring, record sales, streaming, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other business ventures. Management, agent and attorney fees are not deducted. Earnings are calculated from June 2014 to June 2015 and based on data from Nielsen SoundScan, Pollstar, the RIAA and from interviews with managers, lawyers, executives and a handful of the artists themselves.




Here are the top 10 earners for 2015:

1. Diddy - $60 Million
2. Jay Z - $56 Million
3. Drake - $39.5 million
4. Dr. Dre - $33 Million
5. Pharrell - $32 Million
6. Eminem - $31 Million
7. Kanye West $22 Million
8. Wiz Khalifa $21.5 Million
9. Nicki Minaj: $21 million
10. Birdman: $18 million

PSQUARE dem money dey in Naira. Please make u  multiply  $60,000,000 by just say 200 Naira even though $1.00 na about N225/ $1.00. Anyway, make I help u with the arithmetic: P diddy grossed $60,000,000, so...... $60,000,000 * 200 = 12,000,000,000. Aha that is Twelve Billion Naira ( 12 Biillion Naira) in one year. PS2 dem dey rich but dem no dey make 12,000,000,000 Naira in 5 years. Se u get the logic, right. I no wan short change my brothers that's why I use N200.00/$1.00  instead of about N225.00, N230.00/$1.00. Se Oti gbo. No mind my Yoruba  jare.
