"I became Hip Hop's first Billionaire" - Diddy (Clap for him #BlackExcellence)

[Claudex]

That's crazy, but big ups to the man.

I'm more of a fan of Master P's legit hustle but I give props where props are due. Diddy went from a intern to a mogul within a year and some change. Dude defines the hustle even though I really despise his business practices involving artists.

i rather listen to people like jayz , getting gems from jay
puff rich as fukk , but i never like the way he acted
he acted like teenager sometimes , so i cant take him seriously

he's a legend tho , nobody can deny that

where's the receipts?

 

[erker]

wasn't Dre the first when he sold Beats to Apple?

oh yeah

Technically Dre is worth 800 million from the Apple deal. It's damn near close enough though.

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

I dont think he's the first but rather the first to go public. As I've said before I think there are a few on the low. I look at people like cube, flava unit, j prince etc. and think they sitting on it. But shout out to diddy though.

I'll save you the trouble

Shame Russell Simmons never gets much recognition for the moves he made...hell dude was a founder of one of the first successful hip hop labels in America.

 

[NoChillJones]

Just remember Dre did this 2 years ago though..........

I'm sure Aftermath's equity was at least $200 million
