As if Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa aren’t making enough money these days, the two are looking to expand their bank accounts thanks to a new profession in DJ'ing.
TMZ reports both Wayne & Wiz have been inspired by Snoop Dogg's recent success with spinning music, which includes a residency in Vegas, that the two rappers are now setting their own prices and looking to follow in suit.
That may sound like a lot, but it’s peanuts in the DJing game. Deadmau5 is paid $425,000 a gig, Taylor Swift’s BF Calvin Harris made over $60 million last year DJing, and Paulie D, the dude from Jersey Shore, pulls in about $10 million a year.
However, If you’re wanting Weezy or Wiz to DJ your next party then you better start saving now. Lil Wayne is reportedly charging $60K to DJ an event, while Wiz’ rate is $25K. In addition to these rates, both rappers demand VIP treatment for their time at the gig, as well as first class flights to get there.
