Diddy tops Jay Z on new Forbes list of richest rappers

Sean “Diddy” Combs is #1 on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest paid stars in hip hop, pushing off Jay Z and Drake on the 2015 “Hip Hop Cash Kings” tally, which was revealed on Tuesday.

45 year old Diddy  made an estimated $60 million between June 2014 and June 2015, from investments outside of music, such as his TV network Revolt and Ciroc vodka.

Runner up Jay Z, also 45, earned an estimated $56 million from business ventures in music, sports and lifestyle. His 22 shows with his wife, singer Beyonce, helped boost his earnings, Forbes said.

Canadian rapper Drake, 28, came in at No. 3 with $39.5 million, the bulk of which came from touring, as well as high profile endorsements from Sprite and Nike and his Apple collabo.

Dr. Dre has been doing for decades. Recently he’s spent more time making good money—$620 million last year, the highest annual payday of any musician ever, thanks to Apple’s $3 billion Beats buy—which is why it’s something of a surprise that he ranks No. 4 with $33 million, the result of smaller checks from Apple. He also exec-produced biopic Straight Outta Compton and released his long-awaited third album, both of which will boost his total on next year’s list.

#5 Pharrell $32 M. The "Happy" singer is one of the more diversified performers on the list, earning big checks from touring, music, his role as a judge on The Voice and his clothing lines.
 

Nicki Minaj was the only woman to crack into the top ten of the highest paid hip hop acts, coming in at No. 9 with $21 million from touring and endorsements.

Other hip hop moguls in the top ten include rappers Eminem who was # 6 and Kanye West.

IG orders Edo CP to investigate alleged rape of a 6-yr-old girl

Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, has directed the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. James Ezike, to investigate the alleged rape of a 6-year-old girl by three students of School of Nursing, Benin-City.

The suspects have been identified as Kennedy, Paul Aghama and Jeffery.


The IG in the directive signed by his Principal Staff Officer, Idowu Owohunwa, ACP, directed the Commissioner of Police to revert the earlier decision where the AIG Zone 5 in its report said the 6-year-old girl defiled herself by using instruments to penetrate her private part.

The IG’s directive was given due to a petition by the little girl's mother's counsel- Olayiwola Afolabi, who asked for an independent investigation because it seemed  like some powerful persons were trying to use their positions to ensure that the case was swept under the carpet.

Afolabi said that on May 25, 2015, the little girl's mom had discovered that her daughter was having abdominal pains, so she took her to the hospital where she was examined by a doctor who discovered that she had been raped. He said when the little girl was questioned by her mother, she told her that some students from the State School of Nursing who she gave their names as Kennedy, Paul Aghama and Jeffery had taken her from her mother’s shop through the window and defiled her twice on their bed.

According to Vanguard, the counsel disclosed that his client reported the case at Aideyan Police Station which later transferred it to Esigie Police Station where there was some shady happenings going on at the station before another petition was sent to the the IG, Mr. James Arase who has now given the State commissioner a new directive to investigate the matter.

A suspected member of the Boko Haram sect identified as Abdullahi Adamu has been arrested by Security operatives attached to Operation Mesa (OP Mesa) in Ijora area of Lagos State following a tip-off by residents of the community. 

The suspect, identified as Abdullahi Adamu, was apprehended during a raid carried out by operatives of the security outfit comprising the Army and the State Security Service (SSS).

According to The Nation, the raid, which took place at the Ijora 7-Up area of Lagos, came after a tip-off on the activities of a terror network allegedly co-ordinated by Iranians. 

The suspects was arrested after soldiers ransacked one of the buildings in the area. Adamu was said to have concealed some devices suspected to be explosives in boxes, which were stacked in the ceiling of the house.  Also recovered alongside the suspected explosives were two AK47 rifles. 

Commenting on the arrest, the paramount ruler of Ijora community, Oba Fatai Ojora said

"We have been calling on the state government to do something about this. This is the second time we will arrest Boko Haram suspects in this community and nothing has been done on that. The one we caught now had even admitted that he is a terrorist. You know that majority of the northerners in Lagos live in Ijora, Agege and Badia.’’he said

Another member of the community who spoke on condition of anonymity said “People came to me that they saw one man on the internet and that he is a member of Boko Haram, saying they know where he lives. They said they are going to his house and identify him. They arrested him and handed him to Oba of Ojora,” he said.
