Sean "P Diddy" Combs reign as the highest
grossing hip-hop star has came to an end.
According to reports in the New York Daily News,
Diddy's worth is valued at $315 million dollars,
compared to Jay-Z's $320 million. Comb's
told the Daily News "I'm just proud of Jay-Z. I'm
happy it's one of my friends," Combs said at the
Audemars Piguet boutique on E. 57th St. Tuesday as
Jay stood by. "We're gonna trade that No. 1 spot
back and forth. He'll give it back to me next
year." Jay-Z is suprised by the 2005 ranking, telling the Daily News:
"It's all in the plan. I didn't even expect it
this year."
Mo' Money.. For the
Diddy.
Sean 'P Diddy' Combs
made a staggering US$3 million from an appearance
in an advertisement for Proactive acne treatment.
The rap star, who is part of the US line-up for
anti-poverty concert Live 8, refused to take part
in the commercial unless he received the inflated
fee. And not only did he receive the whopping
pay-out, he was also flown to and from the swanky
shoot in a private jet. An insider tells gossip
site Pagesix.com, "Bad Boy Records might not be
making money, but Puffy is. He asked for it and he
got it. He drives a hard bargain."
