Diddy Speaks On Forbes List

    Last week Forbes released their annual list of “Hip Hop’s Cash Kings” and Sean “Diddy” Combs was once again atop the list with a net worth of $475 billion. While Diddy didn’t deny he was wealthy man, he assured people his bank account isn’t halfway to ten figures.

    “To be honest, on that list, I was on the cover of Forbes back in ’98,” Diddy told MTV. “I been on that list. I don’t really get caught up into the list. I think people think that I have that money actually sitting at home in the basement.”

    Combs went on to explain the basics of net worth. “It’s really like if I sold all my companies, and I take pride in [building] something as a black man that’s worth that much,” Diddy said. “To everyone calling me for a loan today, I do not have that money today!”

    “It helps inspire people and it shows the power of hip-hop,” he added.

      1. ROFL..I know right, way to proof read HHDX! It’s supposed to say 475 MILLION, NOT billion…if he had 475 Billion he’d be the richest man in the WORLD with almost 9X the amount that Bill Gates has LOL…nice job guys

      I’ll have what you’re on, J-23 of HHDX.

    2. J-23 of HHDX: First rule of writing 101, PROOF READ…according to your article, Diddy is the richest person in the world by 400 BILLION$ LOL..his actual projected Net Worth according to Forbes is $475 MILLION…come on man, now ur gonna have every1 runnin around sayin Diddy is a billionaire lol

    3. yeah right ! this mothafucka made all this money playing with other’s career ! how many artists he used for a certain amount of time before he threw them away like they were nothin but garbage ??!! shyne and black rob just to name a few

      1. how do you know? you see the contract work? who’s to say how much he made off other artists?

        do your research before you make empty comments such as what you said…just sayin

        or if you do have the legitimate sources to back up what you’re sayin…post the link!

      2. So what, those guys were terrible, Diddy obviously did Shyne dirty with the whole jail thing, but from a business perspective u can’t hate. He didn’t exploit good rappers, he exploited rappers who could sell at the time. Tell me the last Black Rob or Shyne song you heard and liked. Dont worry I’ll Wait. Id of thrown em out too.

      3. @ sooo what

        He exploited LOX. Are you saying styles p jadakiss and sheek louch arent good rappers?

      4. He didn’t exploit the LOX, they did not know how there contract was structured, that’s why they don’t have a beef with Puffy anymore, because he explained the contract to them.

    4. Straight away.. “$475 Billion” come on HHDX double, even triple checking what you write before you publish it is as basic as knowing what you’re selling..

      But the whole story isn’t worth the amount of shine it’s getting on this site. All he’s saying is Net Worth includes his assets and isn’t a measure of his liquidity (cash). I’m sure there must be something more interesting, hip-hop / culture related, than that.

    5. Hey, I don’t get it, if all you all are gonna do is complain about how shitty this site is and how pointless the article is, why are you even here? No one said “hey, you have to go to hhdx today”. If you don’t like the site just go somewhere else!

      1. i like the album reviews, the amount of songs being posted daily, and the articles they put on here, but their proofreading is trash…nothing wrong with pointing that out and telling them to just proofread before you post it.

      2. There’s nothing wrong with criticism when it’s constructive.. Otherwise we’d all settle and nothing would improve.

    6. “$475 billion” nice, this site is a joke LMAO

      oh and whoever is about to say “oh if you don’t like this site don’t come here” can suck a dead guys dick… so uh yeah go die and suck your own dick

    7. This why I fucks with diddy. We all know he got bread but he’s not even gonna fake like he got the money on hand that Forbes is talking about. He keeps it all the way real. Say what you will about the way he treats his artist but most of them were only stars while they were on bad boy. He made shit look like platinum in most cases and we should all be able to admit it now. I know it might be sacrilegious to say but even biggie probably would have been just another rapper without puff. All dude does is make stars and get money. I can count on one hand the dudes that are relevant that have been doing it as long as diddy. He told ya’ll he wouldn’t stop and he was true to his word. Keep doing your thing.

    8. Diddy got a shitload of money, but I think if Child support came into play Jay would be ahead. Not hating just saying…

    9. If Diddy had $475 BILLION (SMH DX) he would be richer than the top 20 richest people on EARTH – COMBINED.

    10. stop lyin nigga we seent the safe next to big contract down there. we coming masked up biatchhhhhhh lol

    11. “J-23” you should be fired for being a jackass. Read your stuff before you print it you douche. Matter fact the entire DX staff should be fired every other post is screwed up. I like the website but damn theres a limit.
