YOU can make YOUR own list. It’s called a “Quote Tweet”

The common criticism is about Wahlberg. He was a rapper. Became an actor. Definitely more of the latter than the former, but it is what it is.

Common, Ludacris, 50 Cent are in a top 10 definitely

I feel you could flip flop Cube and T, but that’s it. It’s a solid list considering “most successful” not “best”

This list of most successful rappers-turned-actors readjusted for box office receipts:

5. LL Cool J
$995,554,412

4. Ice Cube
$1,155,530,114

3. Mark Wahlberg $3,761,731,961

2. Queen Latifah
$5,206,118,560

1. Will Smith
$6,535,314,018

Honorable Mention:
Ice T
$215,586,571

Ludacris has entered the chat. He is arguably a top 5 based on his box office reports
