Bad Boy Named The Third Largest Black-Owned Business In New York City

    Bad Boy Entertainment (f/k/a Bad Boy Records) is known for delivering Notorious B.I.G.’s classic debut, Ready To Die, as well as multi-platinum success for Mase, The L.O.X. and even the label’s founder, Sean “Diddy” Combs. This week, Crain’s New York selected the 18 year-old company as the third-largest black-owned company in New York City.

    Including a major label, restaurants, a recording studio, a film company and more, Bad Boy Entertainment is believed, by The Atlanta Post, to have an estimated 600 employees, with annual revenues estimated at $300 million. Bad Boy came behind Goya Foods and Palladium Equity Partners.

    To qualify for Crain’s list, a company must have its headquarters within New York City, and be at least 51% black-owned.

    7. headline is wrong…

      ” that was recently selected by Crain’s New York Business as the third largest minority-owned business in New York City.”

      “The business must also be at least 51 percent owned by minorities.”

      Minorities, b, not black. Learn to fucking read and comprehend.
