I don't know WHEN, heck, I didn't know IF he was the richest either. A lot of people will say P-Diddy is, or Jay-Z is or 50 is. Apparently 50 Cent now is worth over $400 million whereas Jay-Z around $314 mil. I don't have a clue what P-Diddy's net worth is. So yeah I'd say 50 Cent is the richest rapper in the world and I'm guessing he was pronounced the richest rapper in 2007, as he hasn't released anything this year, apart from a few G-Unit demos probably.
Dr. Dre is currently the richest rapper in the world. Until May of 2014, Diddy was the richest rapper. He was overtaken by Dr. Dre in part due to sales of Beats by Dre.
50 cent
Queen Latifah

Jay Z
50 cent is the richest, Jay Z is the second, P.diddy is the third.
THERE IS NO RICHEST RAPPER OR SINGER IN THE WORLD THEY HAVE ALOT OF MONEY BUT THEY ARE NOT THE RICHEST IN THE WORLD;SO BASICALLY THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER
Actually, 50 Cent is not the richest in Hip Hop. He made 100 million from a Coca Cola buyout of Glaceau water. Don't know how much of that is real work. Jay-Z is still the overall wealthiest rapper at over 500 million dollars. ACTUALLY,50CENT IS THE RICHEST HIP HOPE STAR IN THE WORLD AND HE ACTUALLY WORK FOR IT AND HE WORTH $150.HE IS A REAL HASSLER
