Cardi B Questions Forbes Cash King List

There’s something veryyyyy interesting about this year’s Forbes Hip-Hop Cash King list that has Kanye at #1 with $150 million earned over the past year. Yep, you read that right. $150 million just off Yeezy footwear and no tours or music. Again, very interesting.

But even more eyebrow-raising is Cardi finishing behind Nicki Minaj by $1 million ($28 million) which prompted a seemingly bored Belcalis to (fairly) wonder how Forbes calculates these numbers in a random tweet that not-very-shockingly blew up Twitter.

Peep the Twitter hysteria over Cardi questioning Forbes’s Cash King numbers on the flip.

Cardi B is the youngest artist in this year’s ranking of hip-hop’s highest-paid acts—and joins Nicki Minaj as 1 of only 2 women on the list—the latest example of a pay gap that has long plagued the industry.
