LOS ANGELES: Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs was ranked the world’s highest-paid musician on an annual list that saw black artists take the top four spots. Combs, who is also a hip-hop producer and entrepreneur, earned an estimated $130 million for the year, according to Forbes, mostly from his Bad Boy Family Reunion tour and the sale of his Sean Jean clothing line. British band Coldplay pulled in an estimated $88 million to take the No. Last year’s top two artists, Taylor Swift, and British boy band One Direction, both slipped out of the top 10 this year. Swift did not tour this year and released her latest album in November, while One Direction is on hiatus as its members pursue solo careers.
