Some hip-hop news:
Just when 50 announced to the media that his Curtis album dropping September 4th will be his last studio album...he makes a business deal that blows other rappers out the water. Thanks to his 10% ownership of Vitamin Water, he will cop about $400 million after a deal was made by Coca Cola to buy Glaceau (the creator of Vitamin Water). The deal was for about $4.1 billion. Straight to the damn bank...
Word has it MIMS is gettin' stuck for $7.5 million. He was paid $10k to perform for 10 minutes at a club in Manhattan recently. But he was a no show and the woman suing him (Marquita Blair) claims she put down a 2500 down payment to his agent. And now se's suing him for $7.5 mill mainly because she says:
"[MIMS] has promoted and traded upon a pattern of conduct involving the belittlement and degradation of females as 'bitches' and 'hoes.' "
How long did it take this chick to come up with this little theory to get more money? Priceless.
And it's here again. The list of Hip Hop's richest men is out and the top 3 are Jay-Z ($500 million) in that #1 spot, 50 Cent, and moving from 1st last year to 3rd place this year....Diddy. Honorable mentions are Pharrell, Luda, T.I., JD, and E-40 (yes...for real). Panache Report has the breakdown of their ridiculous finances.
