Dr Dre Becomes First Hip Hop Billionaire
Dr Dre set to become the first hip hop billionaire as Apple is said to be acquiring Beats Electronics in a deal worth $3.2 billion!
The deal between Apple and Dr Dre leaked thanks to actor/singer Tyrese who uploaded a video to Facebook saying Forbes NEEDS to update their list.
Gibson jokes about the Forbes list, which ranked Dre the second-wealthiest hip-hop artist of 2014 with an estimated wealth of $550 million, saying it needing to be updated. Gibson says:
“They need to update the Forbes list. S—t just changed.”
Dre adds:
“The first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the motherf—king West Coast.”
The title of richest man in hip-hop, according to Forbes, currently belongs to Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, who the magazine says is worth $700 million. Jay Z is in third place with $520 million.
Sorry Puffy you’re NO longer the richest man in hip hop.
