The superstar rapper is also a fashion trendsetter, a streaming music mogul, a sports management company owner and Mr. Beyonce Knowles.All that has helped him to become the first billionaire rapper, according to Forbes.
Jay-Z, who grew up in a Brooklyn housing project, rose to fame in 1996 with his debut album"Reasonable Doubt." His sixth album, 2001's"The Blueprint," was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry -- reserved for albums that are"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" -- earlier this year.

Now THIS is self-made!
He is a businessman, hip-hop for him is definitely not in the first place. But why not, today to have your business is fashionable
ONYA MATE
Regardless how he made his money .. he did it... but the democrats think you should not have all that money and everybody wants to hate Trump, he is not the one trying to make you share the wealth
Lol
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And CNN acts like they FORGOT ABOUT DRE!
Money don’t buy happiness said the billionaire! 😂
Hes an ex crack dealer that sold death to his own people. NoRespect
Forgot About Dre
Meh
You told us a few years ago that it was dr Dre, which one ?
Can't believe his success...Who likes his 💩💩 for ' music'?
Never mind his lyrics.
Who cares?
Nice...
And now that he made it, does he still advocate for 50% tax?🤔
He is NOT billionaire. Period.
Yet there are still homeless and people starving in the country
From slangin’ crack to singin’ rap to enjoying is portfolio sky-rocket in the Trump era economy. MAGA.
Thanks to Tupac in many ways.
Where are all the socialist calling for his head and a 90% tax rate?
But Kyle Jenner of yesterday is also a billionaire. So?
A oppressed black man becomes a billionaire by singing about degrading women and dope,and killing.. so yeah America is racist against black people
The conglomerate
And some rappers in our country are praising him instead of being like him
Americans are dumb
BREAKING NEWS In 2017 Forbs- Beyonce is most influential musician SundayThoughts Revitalization of MAGA under Chinese PC police surveillance in Hollywood SundayThoughts Mighty Stars can better fight with Radicals- normalized homelessness as liberties Democrats to revolt
So white privilege is out? Good for Jay-Z and his success. Remember only in AMERICA From rags to riches.
How many youths listened to Jay z and sold drugs and killled or pimped women because they was brainwashed by his rap music and the culture. Smh
Lets see...he sold crack in his own neighborhood, distributing 'death' to his own people... And it freaking amazes me that the media celebrates this waste of humanity.
Thats the only industry that diss each other kill eachother always got beef with someone . aint nothing wholesome about yall industry . i use to like that music now im old school . music today got our kids so effed up .
Jay-Z Inc $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!
you right 👍🏻
Excuse me... I gotta go get all of my Jay-Z records out... ....all NONE of them. 🍻
Worship your corporate masters if you wish.
Well you know, I guess that’s how it goes when you sale your soul.. Illuminati Satanic people.
Hov doesn’t lie.
Drug Dealer. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.
Kryptonite - Jan Theuninck, 2017
As far as full careers go Jay-Z is the 🐐
And in other news. I was not aware that Bobby was as short if not shorter than Tom Cruise!
U mean how being a drug dealer got u started .. And aint just u im sure it's both combined . and dude eat a dam.burger u look 20 years older than last year
They forgot about Dre?

Congratulations Jay Z!! That is just awesome
You rock JZ😍so humble and extremely talented💕💕
Bad guy
Excellent!
Rachel__Nichols You would think a billionaire could afford a better barber. Yikes
thisisrory Lol
RyanHillMI Rap: the un-intelligent method if singing
Diamonds from Sierra Leone is the song, put some respeck on that track
The former criminal hopefully is helping a lot of folks with his funds.
Dre doesn’t count as a rapper?
Money makes one think their great above everyone else nope just brings you fake friends and suck ups.
RyanHillMI You Forgot About Dre.
Lol and all these years CNN tells its Audience that people of color in America are oppressed.,lolWOW!
Did we forget dr dre been a billionaire for a few years now
Also the worlds first rapper who be a “self proclaimed drug dealer”
Omg I am going to have to unfollow CNN with these annoying repeated tweets they do
You're late
They wasnt listening
Preach.
Nobody cares.
GodiaTony P
He is a more than a business,he is the one of the most luckiest men,man!
I’m no hater! Happy for him
How many times are we going to post this
What's with CNN and posting the same news every other hour ?
Rachel__Nichols I thought Dre reached a bil a while back? Were the headlines wrong?
Shut up
A real billionaire, unlike Trump
Great...now feed some starving kids.
Cu ha dinari assai sempri cunta e cu havi ‘ a muggheri bedda sempri canta ( non sempre tanti denari rendono la vita allegra )
What about Chabillionaire?
Cnn producing fake news once again forgotaboutdre
Dre...
That verse on Diamonds RMX was straight up 🔥🔥🔥
Drug dealer
Rachel__Nichols Happy Rusev Day
Damn right!
Shout out to ya Jay-Z...👁
YNB This tweet is poorly composed. DO BETTER.
Too bad the government's going to tax the living shit out of him. When will blacks learn that in order to maintain wealth, they need to start adopting conservative principles! Obama was horrible for black wealth, look it up
Oh is that right?!?!
Rachel__Nichols He also a woman beater too
He’s a massive neoliberal.
Who cares about rap music in 2019 👎
You guys could have found a much better picture though
TAX THAT GUY! He has lots of 1% money to aide the Socialist cause!
Rachel__Nichols Did anyone doubt him?
Trump too, but his music is a bunch of whining.
They forgot about Dre?
And, somehow, I can't name a single thing he's ever done. Not one.
Rachel__Nichols Did we forget about Dr. Dre just for the sake of a headline?
CERTE PERSONE NON SONO ABITUATE AL SACRIFICIO E A LAVORO LA LORO VITA E OSTENTARE LA RICCHEZZA E SI CREDONO DI FARE TUTTO QUELLO CHE VOGLIONO CALPESTANDO ANCHE LA DIGNITA' DI FAMILIARI E AMICI
Rachel__Nichols Is he an Owner of his business?
Donatog87 I wonder if he rapped about Killing children and others when he sold CRACK ? And committed Felonies
No surprise, he’s been on game long ago “reasonable doubt “ NEVER “the blue print”YES
anything in his closet.
Rachel__Nichols timthetatman this is the lyric someone said to you a couple days ago that you were unsure of
Marvelosa!
Did not Forbes report that Dr. Dre earned this status over a year ago?
Why do you need to post this everyday?
Saw someone tweet the same thing word for word a few days ago.
Still a democrat tho
But muh inequality....poc that can't sing becomes billionaire singing about killing people and hoes...
Where the socialists at?
AriMelber
Good stuff.
Congratulations Jay Z !!!! Badd azz Brother !!! Yassssss🙏🏽✌🏾💪🏽

Duh?
' I cooked up more chicken when the kitchen closed Oh, we gon' reach a billi' first I told my wife the spiritual shiii really work Alhamdulillah '
If you don't souly make $1 billion off rap music, don't call him the first billionaire rapper. That means Elon Musk can drop 1 track and be 'the richest rapper'
S_C_ mr dollar bill.... 🕺🏾. I’m speaking billions 😊
Trump wishes he was Jay Z
Ugliest billionaire on earth right now.
Wow, fake news... He's not even a good rapper....
He's had over 100 million for years now.. he's been a business man since the beginning when he was selling mixtapes on the streets with rocafella
Diamonds From Sierra Leone Remix
HennyBear9 That’s another difference that’s between me & nem I smartened up opened the market up
Check this Hale song out by Gblaze
America’s black kids have been sold a bill of goods.Much like the ones told to Black people about slavery gone but you are free.Several things have happened to blacks but none worse than Rap music.A degrading genre for all young people but moreover for blacks. Tattooed up/dying.
What will he do now buy an island or another 8 million dollar car?He and his wife should do more than Walmart at Christmas for all those poor people who buy his CD that enable his new status?Does either one of them have a love for scholarships or schools for Urban kids? Doubt it
He’s a self proclaimed SATANISTS!
Thought it was Dr Dre
fakkythecreator Oouuu. CNN my uncle blowwwnn
What's CNN?
Thought Dr Dre was the first 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Is it accurate to refer to him as 'First Billionaire Rapper' if in actual sense huge chunk of what makes his a billionaire comes not from rap
Legacy legacy legacy Black excellence baby you gon let em see ✊🏿
I thought it was Dr. Dre?
Jay z you the MAN THE BILLIONAIRE MAN
drivermc c'est toi qui leur a filé les quotes de ton 'Roule avec Driver spécial Jigga'?
Overrated...

rafusetolose He looks like she smells like 💩 all the time
He’s always been right. One of the few people on this planet I listen to.
Congratulations Mr. Jay -Z You inspire us , God Bless you to you and your family.

Billionaire...and I don''t even know the title of even one of his tunes.

That wage gap though
Well, you CantKnockTheHustle!
'Uh, we gon' reach a billi' first I told my wife the spiritual shit really work Alhamdulillah, I run through 'em all Hovi's home, all these phonies come to a halt' - JAYZclassicBars in Family Feud BillionaireStatus Long Live The 🐐
The billions came not by selling his rap music.
Shouldn’t he be giving more of his wealth to the poor? He didn’t do this on his own, society did, now share the wealth. Nobody needs a private jet, or 3 homes. Pay up!
Who cares?! Is he giving some away?
ayshardzn Not Dr Dre ah?
TheBorisBecker The world doesn't need more billionaires.
dalihwanpicasso
Hold up, what about Dre and beats by Dre? Didn’t selling that to Apple make home the first billionaire rapper?
Dre Beats. Put respeckt on the Doctor!
DavidLDeAngelo
First Black Billionaire rapper
Congrats to Jayz. watch out for olamide_YBNL ...Fastest growing rapper in Nigeria ... Keep an eye!
More lies from CNN, was Dr dre not a billionaire....Because it certainly implied so in the doc 'The defiant ones' of course jz, talentless as he is, is a full fledged cabal member, so the narrative has been changed to favour him
Let's Make Business Possible on The Whole People's World. GOOD LUCK, FOR THE WORLD'S BUSINESS...
Jay-Z Is The Person of The Business In The Whole North America and The Whole World. This Is The Business Of The Jay-Z About The His Business On The World. The Hip-Hop Is The Muzic On The Whole People's World. Let's Make Business Possible for The People, Like Jay-Z. Let's Make...

How did he rap that comma?
Legendary
I thought that title went to Dr. Dre?
Aye JoeBudden and the JoeBuddenPod low-key putting CNN on some Hov lyrics loo
Slow news day. The decline continues.
How come no one ia calling Jay-Z self made tho?
Overrated POS, hasn't put out a good song since I was in high school.......and I'm 40
He was doing what most ppl. Were talking about.
He’s a thug
Correction: Selling his Soul. The Devil will EASILY give far and beyond what a Christ loving honest man can work for... Society worships money above all. Money IS NOT worth the sacrifice of God🙏🏼
cnn must have seen my post—
How about Diddy
😂 y’all slept on Jay-Z and holy shit IT SHOWS
ggkaruga GandolfiniNish fellas you saw this? jay officially a billionaire
This was the whole point.
volqx Odd how many other rappers claim to do wealthy. 🤔
Rock boys..and the winner is
MbuyiseniNdlozi Ayi maan!
I though Dre was
IanMckizzle I be saying the same shit
Waiting to hear that Kanye lost his Shit... Again... over this fact 😂🤣
But wait a minute. I thought Forbes had already given this to Dr. Dre when he partnered with Apple. Or what's that about?
What about dr Dre when he sold beats to Apple?
Maybe he could afford a better stylist and a barber.
Beyoncé’s husband is a billionaire, I’m so happy for her 🙌🏻
Dr. Dre rn
I don’t get it. He’s a terrible rapper.
They forgot about Dre 😂😂😂
and MrChuckD STILL has more talent
I been a fan of Jay since the beginning I’m proud to see him grow into a father and a businessman if you listen to a lot of his old records he predicted this moment exactly why we call him God MC ✊🏿JayZ
How are you folks doing ratings wise?
Really, I thought Dr Dre from Compton was the 1st Hip Hop Billionaire way back in 2014, when he sold “The Beats” to Apple for 3.5 Billion⁉️
I cant believe you can be so disrespectful and call him ‘Mr. Beyoncé Knowles’! His name is Jay Z.....Mr. Carter if ya feeling nasty! But let’s stop disrespecting the black man! ✊🏽
Dope!! Congratulations Jay!!
.S_C_ 👏🏾Bravo good Sir! 👏🏾 “We went from Nothing to Something.” - .Migos Respect
Katie_Green
Nobody cares about degenerate music
I thought Dre and Kanye were already there
Just like saying 'I'm an assman, not an ass, man'
Illuminati 👁
He probably did well in his drug selling days too. Man knows how to make a buck.
We’re all calling him Mr.Knowles, just googled it he’s worth 3 TIMES HER ........ HOW.... Also dude is the ugliest man alive. Never got their relationship.
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre
I’m not a fan of jay z and think his music is awful but credit where it’s due he’s worth some coin ...curious_twitt CaptainCockfos1 Are you guys fans of this rap superstar
Black excellence
😂😂😂 and you all believe he leans left USpoli
Turns out ya'll we're slow. We been known this.
Of course CNN would celebrate this.
i can smell the racist white ppl in the comments already
Does not surprise me as he's a high-ranking Illuminati member who worship Satan this is a proven fact if you don't believe me look it up
Mshengu_1 Could this be Chris Hani's son by any chance?
Yep 'Says Forbes' important phrase there
He must not realize liberals hate billionaires. Wonder how much he gives to charity? Let's get those tax returns. RepJerryNadler should subpoena, it's his fav shiny toy.
My favorite human being of all time !
Smart man.
I am guessing you are not Liberal Socialist, because Capitalism works for you. But, haven't heard you follow Republicans. Liberals don't believe in Americans becoming RICH. Give away all your money Liberals want you to do this. God is a Republican. Republicans are Christians.
Okay
Damn not one post can't have a comment that isn't political...exciting people here
I ONLY HAVE FLAVORS FOR U IM NOT CHASING stars I SAID THAT BECAUSE I CAN I DONT EVER IMAGINE stars I WANT TO WHEN IM WITH U IMAGINE U
Not 'once rapped'...more like 'iconically spit'
'Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And MFs act like they forgot about Dre'..see hes not the only one who was right
Omg these tweets...CANT PPL JUST CONGRATULATE JAY Z GUESS THAT WOULD BE TOUCH MUCH LIKE RIGHT!!
The Low Brow Lifestyle that helped the small few but not the many (while featuring & glorifying stereotypes along the way)
Mazel Tov
this is not news why are you not reporting about the problem in California and how the Democrats who caused the problem over look it while attending a Dem's Convention so I ask you is real journalism dead or political now? no wonder your dead last in the ratings
Mr. Knowles, really?
Pretty sure Dre did this a couple of years ago
Is this the same guy who wrote The lyrics to “Big Pimpin’ women?
They forgot about Dre
'Mr Beyonce Knowles'?
A billion here, a billion there....pretty soon we're talking about a lot of money!
He’s not just been my favorite rapper or the best rapper I ever heard, he’s business lifestyle is something you just have to respect and admire 👑 ✊🏾 BlackExcellence Decadence
Hova!🙌🏾
Assuming gender is so 2017, man
Big news, thanks fake cnn
Where's the king of New York?. Tekashi 6ix9ine 😅😅😅😅
I thought Dr Dre was
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothing comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre drdre BeatsByDre NWAMoFos
Cause We gave a £uck? The USD trade will be abolished at any cost to its user as is necessary.
Not to take anything away from Jay-Z but I thought Dr Dre was the first billionaire rapper with his sale of “beats”
thats great and all, the only other billionaire that shocked me was Jessica Alba, at her age and her beauty? shes a self made billionaire, i remember watching the movie Idle Hands in 1999 and i would NEVER have believed she would be a billlionaire.
Everybody wanna act like they forgot about Dre.
realDonaldTrump will be tweeting wildly when he hears a rapper is richer than he is.
Quality tweet
Lies DRE?
Must have taken him a while to write that line
get back to basics . . . man . . .
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
What about Dr Dre
I was under the impression Dr. Dre was
And we are told by the democrats that America is a racist country,damn
