Top 20 highest-paid Hip Hop artistes of 2015 – See who’s number 1! (With Pictures)

8. Wiz Khalifa: $21.5 Million 

The 28-year-old who has loved to drop shout-outs to adopted home Pittsburgh had his best year according to the Forbes lists of the highest paid hip-hop artists. Wiz Khalifa can attribute much of his success to the “See You Again” duet that was featured in blockbuster movie Furious 7. His merchandise sales and his touring also helped put Khalifa ahead of other big-names artists such as Pitbull and Nicki Minaj in this list. If the past year has offered any signs of what is to come for the artist, the future should only bring bigger and better days for Khalifa.
