Forbes Hip Hop List 2011

Golddiggers grip your knock offs!

Forbes has once again released the list of Hip Hop's Cash Kings-- the rappers and hip hop moguls who have surpassed their peers in earnings.

This year, Jay-Z topped off the list earning $37 million within the past year.  Second to Jigga was Mr. Take That, Take That Combs himself with $35 million.  Kanye rounded out the top 3 with $16 mil.

Guess Jay can still rap "...really you got Baby money..." because Birdman and Lil Wayne both racked in at #4 with $15 million.  Either there's a lot of undocumented cash floating around, or Weezy was exaggerating when he said, "Last year I made a 100 million dollars flat" in Young Jeezy's Ballin'.  Either way, we understand.

Congrats to Nicki Minaj who is the first female MC to ever make the list as she earned the #15 spot with $6.5 million.

Got Beef? Update: Nicki Minaj vs. TMZ

Yesterday morning I reported that Nicki Minaj had responded to TMZ's claims that she had been assaulted in Dallas by her hypeman and boyfriend, S.B.  Both she and S.B. aggressively fought the rumors, but it seems the proof is in the pudding. Check out Global Grind for the full story.

Got Beef? : Nicki Minaj v. TMZ

Good mornting everyones, everyones! Welcome to my first installment of Got Beef? where I cover some of the new and not so new beef in the entertainment industry.

First up: Nicki Minaj vs. TMZ

Yesterday, it was reported by TMZ that Nicki Minaj was assaulted by a male friend she was with during her stay at a luxurious Dallas hotel.  It was also reported that the two got into a verbal argument poolside and that she called police once the altercation became violent, suffering a busted lip. However, she refused to press charges once the police arrived.

After TMZ released the news, virtually every entertainment site and blog followed up and spread this alleged story.  I also began to do some research and thought first of Nicki's hypeman and alleged boyfriend, S.B. who tweeted earlier that he was "poolside."

 Naturally, I believed that this was true and that there would be some sort of police documentation to prove the incident.
