Hip Hop's Richest star
P Diddy named richest hip-hop star
Los Angeles - P Diddy has been crowned the wealthiest artist in hip-hop for the second year in a row.
The Hello Good Morning rapper - who has an estimated fortune of £344m - once again beat Jay-Z (£287m) to claim the top spot in a list compiled by Forbes magazine.
The music mogul's wealth is fuelled by his Sean John clothing brand, Bad Boy Worldwide record label, vodka brand Ciroc - a joint venture with drinks brand Diageo, Enyce clothing and Blue Flame marketing.
Billionaire
Dr Dre retained the third place spot he took last year while fourth and fifth places on the list were filled by Bryan 'Birdman' Williams and 50 Cent respectively.
Cash Money Records founder Birdman insists he will soon become a billionaire but remained coy on whether his company will continue to work with partner Universal.
He told Forbes: "One of my motivations in life is to be a billionaire. We're going to keep working hard until we get our brand to be as big as possible. That's the goal in life, that's what I live for.
"Right now we are with Universal and we're just trying to do the best music possible. I'm loyal to my team, and to success. Whoever gives the most benefit to my team, which is first, and to its success, that's where we'll end up at."
Forbes Magazine's five wealthiest artists:
1. P Diddy
2. Jay-Z
3. Dr Dre
4. Bryan 'Birdman' Williams
5. 50 Cent

Man United still most valuable club!
Manchester United continue to top the Forbes list as the most valuable football club in the world - but Real Madrid are gaining ground.
United are also ranked as the most valuable team in any sport, worth 2.24billion US dollars (£1.4bn), 385million USD more than baseball's New York Yankees and the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
Arsenal are fourth on the list, worth 1.29billion USD (£800m), behind Real Madrid (£1.17bn) and Barcelona (£1.07m) but just ahead of Bayern Munich (£770m).
The Forbes list ranks Chelsea in seventh place, worth £473m, and Liverpool eighth with a value of £385m.
United's huge global fanbase, estimated by Forbes to number 330million, has helped maintain the club's position at the top. However both Real Madrid and Barcelona have higher revenues than United, due in large part to the fact they have negotiated their own individual television rights deals for Spanish football.
The figures are also based on last year's financial results reflected United getting to the Champions League final.
This season Sir Alex Ferguson's side failed to make the knockout stage and their income from European football is expected to suffer a corresponding drop, especially in relation to Real Madrid and Barcelona who are both in the Champions League semi-finals.
Tottenham are 11th on the list, valued at £351m, and Manchester City 13th, worth £275m

10 Business Commandments by Jay-z
1. Focus on the most realistic chance to make the most money at all times.
Jay-Z has amassed a fortune of $450 million by living this philosophy, from dealing drugs as an adolescent to selling records, clothes, liquor and more as an adult.
2. Attach yourself to other successful brands.
One of Jay-Z's best-known boasts is that he "made the Yankee cap more famous than a Yankee can." Whether or not you agree with that statement, Jay-Z has certainly added to his victorious aura by associating himself with the Yankees, Michael Jordan, Warren Buffett and others.
3. Keep business and pleasure separate.
Jay-Z rarely speaks about his wife Beyonce, and it seems to have done wonders--many years into their relationship, they're far from being tabloid regulars like other celebrity couples. But that doesn't mean there's not a lot to say
4. Don't give free advertising to other brands unless there's a good reason.
In the late 1990s Jay-Z mentioned Iceberg clothing in a few of his songs and sales spiked. When he tried to parlay that into an endorsement deal, the company declined--so Jay-Z started his own, and called it Rocawear. Since then, he's been paid to endorse GM, Hewlett-Packard, Budweiser and others, and the only free advertising via references in his songs is for brands like Maybach.
5. Never publicize anything less than a victory.
Jay-Z doesn't talk much about his deals that fell apart or his products that flopped--his Armadale vodka and the Las Vegas location of his 40/40 Club. As a result, he's able to maintain a victorious image.
6. Don't split profits with others if you can avoid it.
Jay-Z famously parted ways with former business partners Damon Dash in 2004--partially because of different management styles, partially because his name sold products, not Dash's.
7. Cross-promote your products at all times.
Jay-Z never misses a chance to use one item's buzz to promote another. He's used his songs to advertise his Rocawear clothing line, S. Carter sneakers and 40/40 night club--and some products you might not even know he owns.
8. Attack any threat to your business, but don't take it too far.
Jay-Z has always been aggressive in protecting his business interests, and sometimes to a fault. In 1999 he was arrested for allegedly stabbing record producer Lance Rivera for bootlegging his album.
9. Ask lots of questions, never stop learning.
One of the things reiterated by most people who've worked with Jay-Z--be they lawyers, record label executives or other musicians--is that they can't help but notice his thirst for knowledge. He constantly absorbs information from people, books and situations, adding to his base like a hermit crab.
10. Don't get stuck in conventional ways of thinking
Rather than extend his record deal with Def Jam and parent company Universal (CEO Doug Morris pictured here), in 2008 Jay-Z inked a 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation that encompassed touring, recording, and a bevy of other businesses. The agreement was as ambitious as it was unorthodox.
