World's Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artist: P. Diddy tops the 2016 list

P. Diddy tops this year's list of Forbes' Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Acts. The "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" hitmaker earned around $62 million over the past year. Last year, he also came at No. 1 on the list with $60 million in earnings.

While his "Bad Boy Reunion Tour" runs through the fall, Diddy doesn't earn much from music these days. His earnings largely come from his outrageously lucrative Ciroc vodka deal and other non-musical ventures.

Trailing close behind Diddy is Jay-Z with $53.5 million earned over the past year, thanks to his Roc Nation entertainment company as well as business ventures like D'Usse cognac and Brignac champagne. Rounding out the top 5 are Dr. Dre with $41 million, Drake with $38.5 million and Wiz Khalifa with $24 million.

Other names in the top 10 include Nicki Minaj ($20.5 million), Pitbull ($20 million), Pharrell Williams ($19.5 million), Kendrick Lamar ($18.5 million) and Birdman ($18 million). Kanye West comes in just shy of the top 10 with $17.5 million earned over the past year.
