Bad Boy Entertainment’s Diddy has landed atop Forbes’ annual Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest list.

Puff Daddy’s fortunes are nearly $800 million this year.

Still, it could take decades for Drake to ascend to the heights occupied by this year’s king: Diddy, who boasts a staggering fortune of $750 million, up slightly from last year. The bulk of his bucks come from his agreement with Diageo’s Ciroc vodka; adding to his total are stakes in his TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John, record label Bad Boy, tequila Deleon and alkaline water Aquahydrate.

In a new interview, Diddy reveals his plans to call it quits to album-making after he drops No Way Out 2.

Covering the June issue of Cigar Aficionado magazine, Diddy spoke on his plans for retiring from music – and they include a world tour. “I’m going to put out my last album and devote 100 percent of my time to doing films … I want to stop at a great place,” the 46-year-old. “And a final album is a great place to stop. I want to take a victory lap, to do a world tour and really enjoy it once last time.” (People)

Diddy unleashed a flurry of promotional clips promoting No Way Out 2 with rap star Rick Ross and late protégé Notorious B.I.G.‘s vocals together in mid-March.
