Its crazy how Joe Budden parlayed 1 hit into being a top 10 richest rapper of all time

[5n0man]

His network is projected to make 12 million this year. It hasn’t made it yet.

So in total they projected that the network might make 20 million. That’s if his free business almost makes as much as his paid business.

Then add, salaries, partners, and shyt. But even if that or the 20 is exaggerated (ie based on his best month ever and fantasy wishful projections) he’s making amazing bread.

But as usual with rappers, they love to exaggerate as do rap fans. Like when rappers are in Hollywood, they’ll be like “he’s making Hollywood money”. Then you find out that actors a lot bigger than them make 500k for several months of work

The Patreon numbers aren't exaggerated, and those free views on other platforms add up.

I dont know what he spends to run his podcast but it has to be a hell of a lot cheaper than it is trying to be a rapper.

The projections might be exaggerated.

Those were projections for how much he could make in 2025, given his number of subscribers in a given month. But they might also underestimate the real figure if the subscribers increase. They did not say what he mad in 2024

Without thinking too hard.. You could prolly double this list. Shout out Joe though

 

[THE 101]

Gwen Stefani raps more than this bum. He's not a rapper.

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Who is Joe's demographic? Who can stand to listen this nicca for longer than 5 minutes? It amazes me.



Even if it's background noise...who makes it a point to tune in to hear banter between Joe, Flip and his friends?



Having said all that...Joe went from chasing down a car full of teenage Drake fans in a dirty wife beater with a rock to being a multi millionaire. He's also been repeatedly accused of domestic abuse and molesting dogs...and cannot be canceled.

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Joe shoulda made his own app inatead of using patreon.... he wouls get 100% instead of whatever cut they taking for doing zero work


But i do see that patreon integrated with spotify so maybe it was a good choice

 

[FromBillionsCameOne]

Can't do the financial threads cause MFS just make shyt up and have no financial sense.

 

[ThaPrez]

smh@making a thread off the false premise that he's getting $100m

he's eating good, but let's keep it reality


also, it's not 'crazy'

he's a chatty patty ass gossipin ass arguing all day internet nicca
add that to his music fame, it's entirely logical that he's thriving in the chatty patty ass internet podcast era

 

[BronxFleeZ]

Shaking my 400,000 dollar head

 

[Crumple]

He deserves it though, he was an early adopter of podcasts, I remember nikkas used to clown him for streaming on ustream back in the day then making his podcast, now everybody is doing it. Most wouldht have had the heart to keep going getting clowned like that.

Okay.

I never heard Budden was wealthy.

I do know he disrespected Method Man. Then got duffed in the face on video as a result.

Jay Z is wealthy.

 

[spliz]

Joe is not top 10 richest rapper. At all. But he’s doing well for himself for sure. He needs to work on his health with all the access to funds he has right now.

 

[VegetasHairline]

who is his fanbase for his podcast? lol listening to Joe bidden talk for hours? hahah

I'll never understand how people willingly listen to this bozo babble.

 

[DaddyFresh]

I'll never understand how people willingly listen to this bozo babble.

I get if it was a popular old rapper but bro never had a big base and never seen ONE interesting clip from their podcast from all the viral clips I seen. Just man rambling about nothing and gossiping
