Nicki Minaj Puts Money Where Mouth Is: Pays
The Rock For President? He’s Considering It
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Is 2017’s Richest Hip Hop Mogul At $820 Million
College Students For ‘A’s
Diddy #1, Jay Z, #2, Dr. Dre #3, Birdman, #4 and Drake #5.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is thinking about running for pres- ident. Ronald Reagan was a movie star and won, why not ‘The Rock’.
After going viral for reclin- ing on the Met Gala steps last week, Sean 'Diddy' Combs has another reason to rest easy.
Combs has Cîroc vodka and the Revolt TV network to thank for his latest accom- plishment: topping Forbes' list of 2017's wealthiest rap- pers.
Released Wednesday, the annual list shows the music mogul retaining his top spot as the highest-earning rap- per, nearing the billionaire mark with a $820 million net worth, an increase from last year's $750 million.
While Combs' fortunes continue to grow, bolstered by his deal with Cîroc and his
shares in Revolt, the No. 2 rapper on the list isn't far be- hind. Jay Z's net worth sky- rocketed 30% over the past year, following Sprint's $200 million investment in his Tidal streaming service, bringing his overall fortunes to $810 million, just $10 mil- lion shy of Diddy’s.
Coming in at No. 3 is Andre “Dr. Dre” Young, with a net worth of $740 mil- lion, largely from his Beats deal with Apple in 2014. After Dr. Dre, the list sees a big drop in net worth; placing fourth is Birdman with $110 million, whose Cash Money Records birthed the No. 5 rapper on the list, Drake, with $90 million.
Is The Rock going to rock the vote in 2020? Sounds like a hard maybe.
Dwayne Johnson, whom you may know as the highest paid movie star on the planet and a pretty rad dad, is getting serious with GQ about a possi- ble desire to run for President of the United States.
"I think that it’s a real possi- bility," confessed the Baywatch actor. "A year ago, it started coming up more and more. There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think 'Let me really rethink my answer and make sure I am giving an answer that is truthful and also respectful.’"
Will America have another Black president?
Nicki Minaj at the Met Gala recently.
Nicki Minaj, 34, is feel- ing extra generous these days. On May 6, the "Super Bass" rapper received a meme from a 21-year-old fan that read: "Well you wanna
pay for my tuition?"
We bet he was pretty
shocked when she actually replied and was willing to help. "Show me straight A's that I can verify w/ur school and I'll pay it," she tweeted back.
"Who wants to join THAT contest?!?! Dead serious. Shld I set it up?" You can only
imagine the barrage of tweets that ensued from there, from more students asking for a bit of financial help.
Nicki replied to tons more of her fans with tweets like, "If u give me a 4.0 then I'll keep my end of the bargain."
After asking for their bank info to be sent to her via di- rect message, Nicki actually went through with her word and started sending thou- sands of bucks to some of these college kids in need. Ac- cording to TMZ, one person already received $500 and another $800.
Police Catch Burglar At 50 Cent’s Former Mansion
Scandal(ous) Chris Rock Reveals Again He Cheated With Kerry Washington
50 Cent sold his mansion in Connecticut to satisfy his bankruptcy.
50 Cent’s former mansion in Connecticut has been overrun by police according to breaking news reports Tuesday.
The cops have been posted up in front of 50’s old Farmington mansion, where they are inves- tigating an attempted break-in.
According to local reports, po- lice have already collared a sus- pect who was caught on camera around noon, breaking into 50’s mansion.
Detectives are currently work- ing to determine if anything was stolen or damaged on the 17- acre property.
50 Cent has responded to reports.
The G-Unit vet posted on In- stagram laughing the whole thing off.
“What my house got robbed, I thought I sold that MF,” he writes under a caption.
Chris Rock and Kerry Washington starred in the movie ‘I Think I Love My Wife’.
Rumors have swirled since Chris Rock revealed in a comedy routine he cheated on his ex-wife with three differ- ent women, including a big star. And sources tell Page Six the famous fling was with “Scandal” star Kerry Wash- ington.
A new Rolling Stone cover story reported Rock saying in a routine, “I was a piece of s–t,” of his marriage to ex- wife Malaak Compton- Rock. The mag adds that Rock “segues into his infi- delities and gets disarmingly specific, describing three
women: one famous, one semifamous and one a mem- ber of the retail class.”
A source told Page Six: “He was cheating on his wife with Kerry when they were film- ing [‘I Think I Love My Wife’] about him, ironically, having fantasies of cheating on his wife. That went on for a while, for like six months, and she found out. There’s no gray area.”
Buzz about the affair actu- ally began around 2007, when Washington was en- gaged to actor David Moscow.
