And I OOP—Bardi said CHECK THE RECEIPTS!!!

So today Forbes dropped the 2019 edition of their list of the highest-paid artists in hip-hop and it might surprise you. Kanye West is actually in the number one spot this year which usually belongs to Jay-Z. Jay has been pushed to the No. 2 spot, followed by Drake, who’s also a consistent top earner in the game.

Now according to Cardi B though, Forbes may not be on point with this ranking so take it with a grain of salt. The Bronx rapper who came in on the list at number 13 with 28 mill, fact checked the publication on Twitter earlier today.

Where do Forbes be getting they numbers from cause they way off ?
