Kanye West Tops Forbes List As The Highest Paid Hip-Hop Act

Source: Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage / Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage Jay-Z already holds many of the firsts in hip-hop in regards to superior wealth. First to a billion, Cash King numerous times over. But for the first time, Hov isn’t the top earner in hip-hop. In the 2019 edition of  Forbes highest-paid acts in hip-hop, it’s not Hov at No. 1 but rather  Kanye West . Due in large part to his deal with adidas and the success of Yeezy footwear, Ye took home $150 million pretax income. Hov sits behind him at $81 million. The rise of Kanye on the  Forbes list has been impressive to see over the years. He was No. 10 in 2018 with $27.5 million whereas Hov was No. 1 with $76.5 million. Ye’s involvement with adidas is a huge surge and financial windfall for him as his partnership with the apparel brand is expected to bring in more than $1.5 billion in sales in 2019. Outside of the former Watch The Throne brothers,  Drake  rests at No. 3 with $75 million followed by  Diddy  at No. 4 with $70 million. Houston’s own  Travis Scott crashes the Top 5 with $58 million thanks to a number of deals with Jordan Brand, the success of his  Astroworld: Wish You Were Here tour and  Astroworld  festival. The top 10 is rounded out by the likes of  Eminem ,  DJ Khaled ,  Kendrick Lamar ,  Migos and  Childish Gambino . You’d have to wait until Nos. 12 and 13 before you see a woman appear on the list and that includes  Nicki Minaj  and  Cardi B as they’re close with $29 million and $28 million respectively. Cardi makes her own history as the youngest person on the list at 26. See the list below. 20. Pitbull ($18 million) 19. Wiz Khalifa ($18.5 million) 18. Nas ($19 million) 17. Future ($19.5 million) 16. Birdman ($20 million) 15. Meek Mill ($21 million) 14. Swizz Beatz ($23 million) 13. Cardi B ($28 million) 12. Nicki Minaj ($29 million) 11. J. Cole ($31 million) 10.

Cardi B Had The Perfect Response To Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Testimony About Her Being Part Of His Old Gang

See the original post:

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN At this point  Tekashi 6ix9ine  has more features during his testimony than those that have appeared on his actual records. The rapper, who is in the midst of day three of testimony in a trial against his former manager and more had outed  Jim Jones   and  Cardi B  as alleged members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. A rep for Atlantic Records says that Cardi is not a member of the gang. In testimony, 6ix9ine called Jones a “retired rapper” and said that he was a member of the Nine Treys. The court also heard a wiretapped audio recording of Jones saying that Tekashi wasn’t a Blood no more. “He’s not a gang member no more,” Jones allegedly can be heard saying. “He was never a gang member. They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bulls**t.” He allegedly said of Cardi that he knew her but did not mimic her meteoric rise by having members of the gang join him in music videos. “I knew who she was. I didn’t pay attention,” 6ix9ine allegedly told the court. Well, Cardi, despite a  GQ profile where she admitted she had joined the Bloods as a teenager, had the perfect response on social media in regards to all the hoopla. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Iamcardib (@iamcardib) on Sep 19, 2019 at 2:30pm PDT Keke Palmer’s now meme-worthy interview with Vanity Far says it all. So, she might be gang but she ain’t 6ix9ine’s gang whatsoever. Q: Who is Jim Jones? #6ix9ine : He's a retired rapper. Q: Is he a member of Nine Trey? A: Yes. — Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 19, 2019 Prosecutors play phone call between Nine Trey godfather Mel Murda and rapper Jim Jones. Tekashi says Jones is in Nine Trey. Jones: “He not a gang member no more. He was never a gang member. They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bull–it.” — Stephen Brown (@PPVSRB) September 19, 2019 [ione_media_gallery src=”https://theboxhouston.com” id=”9875589″ overlay=”true”]

New Baby, New Digs: Kendrick Lamar Just Dropped $9.7 Million On A Crib In Manhattan Beach, California

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Kendrick Lamar Just Copped A New Crib In Manhattan Beach Kendrick Lamar and his longtime love just welcomed their bundle of joy to the family in July, so it’s only right they start this journey with a new home. Fresh off news that Kendrick made an appearance in the top 10 on Forbes’ highest paid hip-hop artists in 2019, the rapper just spent some of that hard-earned money on a new crib. According to reports from Variety , Lamar dropped $9.73 million on a mansion in Manhattan Beach, California–which is very close to his hometown, Compton. Because this was an off-market deal, photos of the interior are currently unavailable, but Powers Development were behind the mansion, a company known for its luxury homes. The house has four bedrooms and seven bathrooms across three stories and 5,350 square feet. Definitely not a small house by any means, but still pretty modest for a rapper of his caliber. Before this latest purchase, Kung-Fu Kenny spent $523,400 for a house in Eastvale, Riverdale County back in 2016. One year later, he paid $2.65 million for a home in a gated community in Calabasas, which he reportedly gifted to his mother and other family members thereafter. We can only hope this new crib has a studio in it so Kendrick can get to work on another album. It’s been 2-and-a-half years, sir, we’re waiting. View this post on Instagram Thankyou.

Tekashi69 Kidnapping Video Revealed; Rapper Admits to Ordering Hit on Chief Keef

If, for some reason, you were feeling nostalgic for the gangsta rap feuds of the early ’90s — a time when life was cheap in the recording industry, as young artists were struck down with alarming frequency — then you might be getting a kick out the latest twists in the strange saga of Tekashi69. For the rest of us, of course, the whole thing is just sad and horrifying: Back in November Tekashi — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — was arrested in connection with a list of crimes that would make Al Capone blush. Attempted murder, extortion, soliciting sex from a minor — you name it, Hernandez has been accused of it. Not surprisingly, Mr. 69 was denied bail and is still awaiting trial. Tekashi is still facing life behind bars, but he improved his chances for a dramatically shortened sentence this week when he took the stand to testify against [checks notes] the entire hip hop community! Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Tekashi has named a lot of names during his two days of testimony in the trial of Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison. Mack and Ellison are alleged members of Hernandez’s former gang, the Nine Trey Bloods. Tekashi linked the pair to numerous crimes in his first day of testimony, but they’re certainly not the only ones he’s implicated. Of course, given what we now know about his strained relationship with the Nine Treys, it’s possible that Hernandez’s snitching is motivated by more than just a reduced sentence. TMZ has obtained dashcam footage that shows Tekashi being kidnapped by members of the gang. The rapper says he was later pistol-whipped by his captors. In his comments about the Nine Treys, Hernandez also identified rapper Jim Jones as a member of the gang. Prosecutors corroborated the claim and played a tape of what they say is a phone conversation in which Jones collaborated with Nine Trey top brass in a scheme to murder Tekashi. “[6ix9ine] was never a gang member. They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bullsh-t,” Jones reportedly remarked. He has not yet commented publicly on the matter. Of course, 69 isn’t just playing the victim here. In today’s testimony, he admitted to putting out a $20,000 hit on rival rapper Chief Keef. When his hired gunman missed the target, Tekashi says, he lowered the price to $10,000. Hey, at least he’s frugal! As has been the case throughout the trial, today’s testimony inspired a number of top-notch memes. It’s true that Tekashi could still wind up serving a decade behind bars. After all, hiring contract killers is not something that prosecutors take lightly. However, it’s also possible that with time served, he could be out in less than a year. Legal experts speculate that the rapper will promptly enter witness protection upon his release. Smart idea — but the rainbow hair and face tattoos might make it difficult for the rapper to blend in rural Arkansas.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Kidnapping Video Is Slightly Terrifying [VIDEO]

See the original post:

Source: PYMCA / Getty Troll “rapper” turned informant Tekashi Snitchnine oops we 6ix9ine wasn’t done singing in federal court. While on the stand Wednesday (September 18) he detailed his kidnapping at the hands of his former gang affiliates, the Nine Trey Bloods. The “FEFE” crafter claimed he was taken captive by the same crew he alleged he supplied with money in exchange for protection. While holding back tears, Tekashi says he had to hand over his jeweler which included a $95,000 My Little Pony chain as ransom. In great detail and his best according to Apple Care voice, he broke down the entire kidnapping to the court. 6ix9ine said he was returning home from a music video shoot before the vehicle he got in was rear-ended by another driver. Per Page Six : The face-tattooed rapper — who is testifying against reputed Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack — fought back tears in Manhattan federal court describing how he was allegedly kidnapped on July 22, 2018, in Brooklyn by the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods — then stripped of the pricey jewelry. His pilfered cartoon-inspired pendant was made of 27 carats’ worth of VVS diamonds and featured a mane of hair taken from Tekashi’s own head.  TMZ reported  he paid $45,000 for the piece itself plus $50,000 for the chain. “Assuming it was someone drunk, [my driver] Jorge gets out of the car,” he told the court. “I am looking at the rear-view mirror and I see a guy running up to the passenger side.” Tekashi said the armed man, whom he identified as “Sha,” confronted him with Ellison and told him to “give me everything.” “Bro, I put money in your pocket, I did right by you. I was tired of being extorted,” the rapper said he pleaded to Ellison. With an ultimatum to get into their car or be shot, Tekashi said he was ushered into the vehicle, where Ellison jumped into the driver’s seat, he said. “I’m thinking to myself, should I run out of the car? But know I can’t outrun a bullet,” he told the court. He was then taken out of the car and thrown to the ground, where Shaw pummeled him in the face, he claimed. Then, while Ellison recorded with his phone, the “Fefe” singer was forced to renounce his membership in the Bloods. “Harv made me say, three times, ‘I’m not Billy,’” said Tekashi, referring to slang for Blood loyalists. But the gangbangers weren’t satisfied — they then asked what he was willing to pay to save his own life. “If you don’t kill me … I’ll give you 100 grand, the bank opens in the morning,” he says he told Ellison, who is on trial for the kidnapping and other gang crimes. He said the pair ultimately agreed to let Tekashi go if he handed over six figures in jewelry — including a “6ix9ine” chain, Rolex President and the “My Little Pony” piece that he had stashed inside his daughter’s pink Mickey Mouse Pampers bag. This sounds like something straight out of television show. This latest revelation follows his blockbuster first day on the stand where snitched on EVERYONE even throwing Trippie Red and Casanova’s name into the mix.
