15:00I'm not doing it to have financial control over my music
15:03I want first and foremost to help other artists launch new names to provide opportunities
15:07I want to do for them what happened to me but better
15:10By better, I mean no bullshit
15:11No lying to the artists about album release dates or the budgets of videos and albums

17:29To bolster this interest into something worthwhile
17:31She attended the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Acts
17:36Venturing into acting upon graduation, the rapper struggled as she juggled it alongside waiting, customer service, and office management jobs

19:23in 1987

19:30And differentiated it from the tunes coming out from the East Coast
19:33Although he left the N.W.A. band in 1989 to kickstart a solo music career
19:38He never lost relevance thanks to high charting album releases
19:41Including America's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, and The Predator
19:45Moving away from music, Ice Cube has built a rock-solid reputation in the acting arena
19:49After making his movie debut in 1991 via Boys in the Hood
19:53He went on to star in other red-hot movie franchises like Are We There Yet?

20:09But that's not all
20:10The ex-N.W.A. star co-founded Big 3
20:13A pro 3-on-3 basketball league that fields former NBA stars
20:17After its 2017 inception, Big 3 gained loads of chatter

20:23That said, Ice Cube himself has advertised for reputable companies like St. Ides and Coors Light
20:34Over the years, Ice Cube has made some expensive purchases
20:37Chief among them being a $7.25 million house located at Marina Del Rey, California
20:43Birdman
20:44Estimated net worth $150 million
20:46Although Birdman's heydays are seemingly over
20:49The rapper still makes headlines for having a net worth valued at $150 million
20:53However, it's vital to note that his journey to stardom and riches was turbulent
20:58Born on the 15th of February 1969
21:01Birdman lost his mother to gun violence when he was just 2
21:04After this heart-wrenching event, he and his siblings went to live with an uncle based in Canada
21:08Before relocating back to New Orleans
21:10Where they were in the foster system for 2 years
21:12As a teen, Birdman had many run-ins with law enforcement for robberies and drug-themed transactions
21:17When he was 18, he got arrested for drug possession
21:20And was subsequently given a 3-year prison sentence at the Elaine Hunt Correctional Center
21:24He'd only served 18 months here when he was acquitted of all charges
21:27After his release from prison, Birdman and his brother Slim observed that hip-hop was taking over New Orleans nightclubs
21:33by storm
21:34And decided to cash in
21:35The result of this endeavor was the creation of their record label, Cash Money Records
21:39From traveling across town to recruit rappers to their upcoming record, the label later became a success
21:45Landing the signatures of hip-hop's biggest names, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Drake
21:50These artists earned the record tens of millions in revenue, fattening Birdman's pockets in the process
21:55Although he majored as a label co-founder, Birdman also achieved reasonable success as an independent rapper with album releases
22:02like 5, Asterisk, Stunna and Birdman
22:04But music isn't Birdman's only source of income
22:07Back in 2013, he launched two fashion lines
22:09Rich Gang and Young Money Cash Money Billionaires, YMCMB
22:13Which gained seismic traction upon Arrival
22:15The rapper also made a sizable investment in Grand Touring Vodka, GTV
22:19That has translated to massive profits
22:21That said, Birdman is known for his outlandish lifestyle
22:25Showcasing his supercars and jewelry without reservations
22:28Lil Wayne
22:29Estimated net worth $170 million
22:31Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., popularly known as Lil Wayne, is an American rapper and songwriter
22:37Regarded as one of the most talented rappers of his generation, Lil Wayne's ascension to stardom was topsy-turvy
22:42When he was just two, his parents got divorced and his dad abandoned the family permanently
22:47At the age of eight, Lil Wayne started to show glimpses of excellence as he wrote his first rap song
22:52However, his journey to the limelight was almost cut short after a self-inflicted gunshot wound just four years later
22:58Wayne's career took flight in 1995, after Birdman signed him to Cash Money Records, making him the youngest rapper at
23:04the label during that timeline
23:05He remained loyal to the record label for 2018, ending the contract in June 2018
23:10But before his departure, Lil Wayne had earned a global following, all thanks to albums like Tha Block Is Hot,
23:16Tha Carter 3, and Tha Carter 4
23:18He also collaborated with top acts like Nicki Minaj and Drake
23:22Moving in, Lil Wayne's net worth isn't just telltale of his musical accomplishments, but his lucrative business dealings
23:28For starters, he's gotten endorsements from well-known brands like Samsung, Mountain Dew, and Beats by Dre the rapper
23:33Also established Young Money Entertainment in 2005, albeit an imprint of Cash Money Records
23:39Wayne was able to sign stars like Nicki Minaj and Drake
23:42These business ventures all contributed heavily to the rapper's net worth
23:45The rapper also owns some of the most expensive things money can buy, including a Bugatti Chiron and a Miami
23:51mansion valued at $17 million
23:53However, he sold the house earlier this year for $22.5 million, making over $5 million profit
23:59It's clear as day, my boy Tunechi is a business mogul
24:02Eminem, estimated net worth, $250 million
24:05Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem or Slim Shady, is an American rapper from Missouri
24:10Eminem is revered for breaking the racial bias towards white rappers in the hip-hop industry
24:15But Eminem's rise to worldwide acclaim was riddled with challenges
24:18His father left when he was a toddler, and as a child, he was often subjected to school bullying
24:23Eminem dropped out of Lincoln High School at 17 to earn a living and settle bills at home
24:28His mother was also abusive, neglecting and throwing him out of the house severally
24:32During this time, Eminem took solace in music and started writing songs
24:36His first album, Infinite, received little to no attention, as it wasn't up to par with the hip-hop tunes
24:42that made waves at the time
24:43But did this event deter Eminem?
24:45Nope, he persevered
24:46And in 1997, Dr. Dre discovered and started working with him
24:50And two years later, the Slim Shady LP was released
24:53This album gained instant traction, becoming triple platinum before the year ended
24:58Since then, Eminem has churned out several albums that have cumulatively earned sales to the tune of tens of millions
25:04The rapper also earns a fortune from live performances
25:07Eminem has leveraged his stellar career to build several businesses
25:10He co-founded Shady Records, a record label that has signed artists like 50 Cent, Westside Boogie and EZ Mill
25:16The acclaimed rapper also owns Shade 45, a Sirius XM channel
25:21Additionally, Eminem won an Oscar in 2003 for his original song, Lose Yourself, that featured in the movie titled, 8
25:27Mile
25:27These ventures have earned, and are still earning, him profits
25:31Making up for a massive chunk of his entire net worth
25:33Although Eminem has a reserved demeanor, he has purchased some expensive items
25:37Notable mentions include a Ferrari 599 GTO
25:41A Porsche Carrera GT
25:42A diamond necklace
25:43And a Rochester Hills mansion worth $4.8 million
25:46Drake
25:48Estimated net worth $250 million
25:49Aubrey Graham, who's popularly known as Drake, is a Canada-born rapper that ventured into the stables of success for
25:55his talent and hard work
25:57Growing up, he didn't have it easy as he was bullied
25:59And when schooling activities proved detrimental to his fledgling acting career, he dropped out

27:53Releasing his first-ever studio album, The Chronic, the following year
27:57This album was an instant hit, selling millions of copies worldwide

28:45Beats Electronics

28:49A product that earned global reverence shortly after its release
28:52And in 2014, Apple pulled out a $3 billion check to purchase Beats Electronics
28:57Making it one of their biggest acquisitions in history
29:00This deal positively impacted Dr. Dre's wealth
29:03Edging him closer to the billionaire threshold

33:21And as time went on, he penned a partnership and distribution agreement with Def Jam Recordings
33:26Giving him more autonomy over his releases and fetching him a seismic profit share

34:30And with 20% still in his possession, Jay-Z might just be one of the greatest businessmen alive
34:35Albeit a great investor, Jay-Z still loves luxury

34:40The rapper owns a car collection that features super expensive automobiles like the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari F430 Spyder, and Rolls
34:47Royce Phantom
34:48He and Beyonce also purchased a Bel Air mansion back in 2017 for a whopping $88 million
