(GEMS RADIO)- Birdman has hailed himself as the greatest Hip Hop CEO ever while once more criticizing Billboard for failing to acknowledge the businesspeople that help musicians achieve success.
On March 16, the founder of Cash Money Records criticized Billboard for failing to acknowledge the CEOs of Hip Hop who have aided the culture in an Instagram post. In his post, Birdman said he was the best CEO Hip Hop has ever had in its 50-year history and attached a photo of the Billboard logo.

Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Drake, The Notorious B.I.G., Lil Wayne, Eminem, 2Pac, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and JAY-Z made up the top ten. Fans and artists had conflicting opinions on the list, with Ice Cube, Ja Rule, and others weighing in.
