Drake is one of rap’s top earners

The Canadian Jewish hip hop phenom has made this year’s list of Forbes‘ top rap earners, tying Cameron “Wiz Khalifa” Thomaz for 11th place with $11 million in income.

While he was predictably outearned by the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye (with whom he has a beef), he did pretty well considering his relatively recent arrival on the music scene and his Degrassi roots. (Acting on a tween show has gotta hurt your hip hop street cred.)

Forbes had this to say about his Drake’s success:

“His debut Thank Me Later debuted last fall and quickly went platinum; another record is in the works. Touring and endorsements generate plenty of cash in the meantime: he shills for Kodak and Coca-Cola’s Sprite, and even has a Drake-emblazoned Virgin America airplane already in the sky.”
