March 11th, 2011 - 5:29 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Mar 11 (ANI): P. Diddy, who has a fortune of 475 million dollars, has been named the wealthiest artist in hip-hop.
The ‘Hello Good Morning’ rapper beat Jay-Z, who has an estimated wealth of 450 million dollars, according to a list compiled by Forbes magazine, reports Contactmusic.
