Many people wrongly assumed that Kanye would live a life free of cancellation. These last few weeks have shown us he’s not as powerful as he thinks. Like that, many things worked hard for were taken away as quickly as a snap. You must be in a particular tax bracket to be above that power.
Two people are part of the elite black rapper Jay-Z and Diddy. It’s almost as if these moguls are in a class of their own because of how filthy rich they are. When it is all said and done, who will be more prosperous?
1. Possible NFL Team Ownership
Unless you live under a rock, there has never been a black owner in NFL history. Mostly, it’s a “good ol’ boy club” filled with Caucasian billionaires.
The only black men that came near to buying a team of their own were Diddy and Jay Z. Diddy tried his luck when the Carolina Panthers were up for sale, even though he was unsuccessful. Just last week, reports confirmed the Washington Commanders would be hitting the open market. Speculation spread about a potential collaboration between Jay Z and Bezos to acquire the franchise. The fact that these two can even participate in these discussions says a lot about their bag.
2. Tech Endeavors
Scared money doesn’t get you a big payday. Nobody has ever won big by playing it safe. This is why Jay and Diddy have invested so much money into businesses that could change the entertainment landscape. Jay Z was one of the primary founders of Tidal, best known for being the streaming platform with the highest number of artist payouts. Sadly, he sold all of his shares when the going got tough.
Diddy, on the other hand, has been killing it with Revolt TV. Their platform is responsible for hit web shows/podcasts such as “Drink Champs,” “Caresha Please,” featuring Yung Miami, and “The Crew League.” I don’t think it’s comparable to who was more successful regarding tech investments. Right now, RevoltTV is more impactful to the black culture than BET.
3. The Future
The richer get even richer now that Diddy has officially made it to billionaire status. All those years of giving artists dirty deals worked out in his favor. For Jay Z, we never know his next move. He has to be one of the most low-key legends because he is never pressed to be in front of the camera. Never knowing what trick he has up his sleeve is the reason you should never count him out. But regardless, you can’t go wrong with either option.
One sleeper picks for the richest rapper ever that everyone constantly overlooks is Berner. That’s the person everyone should be worried about who will catch up to them in wealth. Most of his money came from his massive marijuana brand, “Cookies,” which has grown into an empire. Don’t believe me? He just passed Dr. Dre in wealth due to his newest deal. At the rate everyone is sparking up, he will be swimming in money.
