J. Cole earned more than Drake and Nicki Minaj in 2015.

[gluvnast]

Drake actually earned more than all of them in total earnings. Forbes just reported that earlier this week. You won't see Kendrick on there because he didn't tour the album hard. He went to a couple cities to perform and that was it
And the fact that TDE/Aftermath/interscope is in his pockets as well

This is PERSONAL earnings... not general net worth. J. Cole personal $$$$ from last year was higher than Drake's. Drake as a brand may of generated millions for the label, for sponsors, and agents and so forth. But that's his PERSONAL take as him as an artist.

Separate NET WORTH from personal intake.

J cole toured his ass off last year it wouldn't even make sense if he didnt earn more money than alot of rappers

 

[Giselle]

That's because Drake and Nicki use lots of writers and Cole doesn't.

Get fcked for your publishing brehs

You know what, I completely forgot that birdman does that, and both are signed with them. LOL That's probably the real reason why. They need to leave him.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Get fcked for your publishing brehs

We know who he paid God, J Prince publishing

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

That tour + publishing money!

Speaking of which, Drake's publishing dollars' looking kind of light.... I wonder why

You know why and we not gone even talk about J Prince cut.

Yall really don't want to talk numbers when it comes to The Kid

Drake Replaces 50 Cent on Forbes List of Richest Hip-Hop Stars

Since Drake is making most of his money from non musical ventures, he should do the world a favor and stop putting out shytty, simping, plagiarized music

 

[Kilgore Trout]

i mean, it clearly is...

if j.cole wasnt happening he'd be putting up young thug numbers, not running a sold out tour and getting it aired on HBO

he's not happening in 'the booth', which means absolutely nothing.

nikkas is still arguing about ja rule vs 50 cent in here

Uhhhhh it already kinda happened. And its here to stay

I actually forgot he still made music
