Highest Earning Rappers

Meanwhile, Post Malone was named the top earner in hip-hop music in 2020, while he was only second to Taylor Swift among musicians overall, though not by much.

The rapper, who raked in $23.2 million for the year thanks to his 2019 album Hollywood’s Bleeding, was a mainstay on the charts last year. Posty was fortunate enough to be able to tour for a brief time in 2020 before being forced to stop because of the pandemic.

According to Billboard, he earned $12.4 million from touring and $8.1 million from streaming. He also earned $712,500 in sales and $2 million in publishing.

Drake was the second-highest earner amongst Rappers raking in $14.2 million in total.

Although he didn’t release an album or tour last year, he earned $11.7 million in streaming, $1.9 million in publishing, and $635,000 in sales. He ranked second among rappers and was the No. 6 highest paid musician of the year.

Young Boy Never Broke Again, who, despite his legal difficulties, managed to become the No. 9 highest-paid musician last year with $11.9 million, came in third for rappers.

NBA YoungBoy won $10 million in streaming alone thanks to his devoted and large fan base.

His tour also made $129,000 before being cut short due to covid restraints. The remainder of his earnings came from sales, which amounted $126,000, and publication, which totalled $1.7 million.

Lil Baby is right behind him, with $11.7 million in earnings for the year, putting him in tenth place among Billboard’s highest-paid musicians.

My Turn, the rapper’s first No. 1 Billboard 200 album, spent weeks at the top of the chart, earning him his first No. 1 in 2020. Streams brought in $9.1 million, publishing brought in $2.2 million, and sales brought in $152,000. Prior to the pandemic, his tour brought in another $253,000.

In addition to the four rappers who reached the top 10, Eminem and DaBaby made the top 20 on Billboard’s list of the 40 highest-paid musicians of the year, with $9.7 million at No. 14 and $9.1 million at No. 17, respectively.

Future, who ranked No. 22 with $8.2 million, Roddy Ricch, who ranked No. 24 with $7.4 million, Rod Wave, who earned $7.37 million (No. 25), Kanye West, who earned $6.3 million (No. 30), and Travis Scott (No. 35), who earned $5.82 million, were among the other rappers that made the list.

Tell me how you hit my phone every time you in your feelings? (In your feelings, yeah)
But ain’t no one I can call on who feeling how I’m feeling

I was still lookin’ for love, comin’ straight up out them trenches (Trenches)
Tell me how can you complain? I’m the one who made it different
‘Member we ain’t have a thing, I’m the one who go and get it (I’m thе one)
I’m the one who changеd the game, I’m the one who saw the vision (Yeah, yeah)
I’m the one who stood up in a room full of niggas sittin’, yeah
And I love my dawgs, finna love all my niggas
I got two baby girls I ain’t seen in a minute (Yeah)
And I know that that ain’t right (Yeah), you might say that I’m trippin’ (Yeah)
I’m just tryna get it right, so much came with this position
So much came with this position, so much came with this life (This life)
So much came with this money, so much came with this ice (Ice)
Ain’t no nigga you fuckin’ with fuckin’ with me (Yeah)
So tell me why it feel like, for your love, I must compete?

Pre-Chorus
But that’s okay, that’s just fine (Yeah)

I woke up and hit the road, my feelings left through the night (Through the night)
I’m okay, I’m just fine (Just fine)
I love my niggas, for my niggas, put my life on the line (Life on the line)
I pray that they do the same if it ever come time (Time)

This shit forever set in stone
Don’t treat me like I’m regular ’cause you know what I’m on
Get a hold of me, hold onto me and never let me go
