Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been crowned the hip-hop cash king, topping a new list of the world's highest-paid rap stars.
Editors at Forbes magazine have listed the Bad Boy Records boss at number one on the poll with estimating earnings of US$60 million over the past year.
Combs' empire spans multiple platforms outside of music, including clothing, his TV network Revolt, and Ciroc vodka.
He edges out hip-hop mogul Jay Z at number two. The Roc Nation founder raked in an estimated US$56 million thanks to his various music and business ventures.
Canadian star Drake comes in at three with US$39.5 million, ahead of last year's top earner, Dr Dre.
The superproducer falls three notches to four with US$33 million, a far cry from the whopping US$620 million he made in 2014, largely in thanks to Apple's Beats By Dre buy-out.
Pharrell Williams rounds out the top five of the 2015 list with US$32 million.
