Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za earlier reported that despite the latest media reports suggesting that United States' rapper Kanye West is the richest black person in the US, Forbes has rubbished the news.
According to the American business magazine, news that West's nett worth is approaching $7 billion is seemingly too good to be true.
It was widely reported on Wednesday that the famed rapper tops the charts. These reports came after Bloomberg said his sneakers and apparel business, Yeezy, and Yeezy Gap have a combined worth of potentially $4.7 billion.
