Perhaps the biggest news item from Forbes' list of richest rappers? Lil Wayne made more money this year ($20 million) than he did last year ($18 million), which is remarkable, since Weezy spent most of his time in jail this year. Seriously, dude made more money locked up than he did when he was free. How much of that you can attribute to his Young Money label blowing up is questionable (Drake is a hit, but you figure he had to have lost money on Gudda Gudda), but seriously, dude raked in more paper behind bars. Read a rundown of Wayne's pre-prison rush to make money at Forbes.
Drake must've helped a lot. It's not like Rebirth sold that many. Carter 4 on the other hand is gonna be major
