After a towering success for Korean pop band since their global fame, the boy band has now swept up all possible world records. In The World Albums chart, BTS’s singles rock five spots, giving them control over an astounding 80% of the&nbsp;space on the record list.

Several reports had claimed in March that Kanye West is the richest Black American.

But fact-checkers have found that not to be the case.

Social media and entertainment sites had picked up reports that the rapper is the richest Black person in the US with an estimated net worth of $6 billion.&nbsp;

The 43-year-old rapper's net worth reportedly increased significantly thanks to his Yeezy sneaker, his brand's tie-up with Adidas and GAP.

But a fact checking by the website dubawa.org made a breakdown of his earnings, and it did not accumulate to $6 billion.

The site put his earnings from&nbsp;Yeezy at $1.5 billion,&nbsp;cash and other assets at $160 million,&nbsp;music catalogue at $90 million, and share in his ex Kim Kardashian's&nbsp;shapewear company Skims at $64 million. That doesn't quite add up to $6 bn.

An earlier version of this article incorrectly mentioned that Kanye West is the Richest Black Man in the United States.

As the world deals with pandemic-induced stress, here we bring you a list of funny recommendations that will surely lift your spirits.&nbsp;

Refresh your mood with these:

The Office: The pivotal character of Jagdeep Chadda (played by Mukul Chadda) in this Hotstar original &nbsp;will make you cringe, laugh out aloud and sway your head&nbsp;in disbelief as he awkwardly tries to break the ice with his juniors, guffaws at his own jokes and generally fails to read the general mood in the dysfunctional office. Although, the sitcom draws inspiration from the original BBC series of the same name and also the American remake, the ‘boss’ played by Mukul Chadda has unmistakably Indian undertones and his &nbsp;mannerisms and body language &nbsp;remind viewers &nbsp;of many similar &nbsp;characters they may have encountered in their families, offices or neighbourhoods. This man is delightfully unaware of his own lack of wit and keeps trying hilariously to cheer his team made up of morose and uninspired employees. This office will offer a great escape if you are looking for some soothing, rib-tickling binge watch.

Bhaag Beanie Bhaag: One of the few comedies led by a woman, this Netflix original stars the hugely underrated Swara Bhaskar who plays an aspiring, stand-up &nbsp;comic, caught between personal and professional problems. Swara nails the portrayal of a young woman who is tired of living up to everyone's expectations and wants to, for once, break free from a dead end job, looming domesticity, a relationship that can offer her security but not freedom. Her parents played by veterans Mona Ambegaonkar and Girish Kulkarni add another engaging layer of comedy to the proceedings. Watch this show to cheer a strong, funny and endearingly flawed heroine who wins the day every time with her honesty even if she can't always make people laugh as much as she would like to. &nbsp;

Sarabhai vs Sarabhai: Miss the good-old-days when comedy was maybe not edgy but simply made people happy with a wholesome plot, great writing and great performances? Then relive some golden nostalgia with a series that gave a refreshing new twist to the jaded ‘saas bahu’ formula &nbsp;by pitting a class-conscious,sarcastic mother-in-law against &nbsp;a down-to-earth and spunky daughter-in-law. The series is a masterful comedy of manners and its bunch of &nbsp;idiosyncratic characters will offer &nbsp;hours of family friendly entertainment and will leave you refreshed and energised. Watch it on Hotstar and enjoy the comic timing of class acts Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Rupali Ganguly, and Rajesh Kumar.

Gullak: Need a break from urban comedies? Then watch 'Gullak', the modern equivalent of ‘Hum Log’. This series by The Viral Fever (streaming on SonyLIV), brings alive the everyday issues, conflicts, joys and sorrows of a middle-class-family in a small town without losing its sense of perspective or humour. The Mishras are not &nbsp;as refined as the Sarabhais but this family feels more identifiable because its characters look and sound like they have been plucked out of a familiar neighbourhood. They struggle though unemployment, financial tensions, strained relationships and as a family, seem to be falling apart but are still close-knit. This is a slice of life series that will bring a smile to your face on even a hard day.

Pushpavalli: One of the most loved originals on Amazon Prime Video, Pushpavalli is remarkable for many reasons. To start with, it has been created &nbsp;by &nbsp;Sumukhi Suresh who was once called the Tina Fey of India by a critic. With great insight, she also plays the protagonist, an obsessive young woman who will stop at nothing to win the man she believes herself to be in love with. &nbsp;Along the way, we also learn how so many women in India are raised to &nbsp;feel unworthy even though not all of them seek &nbsp;love through twisted means, like our heroine does. This is dark humour but it also shows us how many boxes women have to tick before they can see themselves as worthy of love. Pushpavalli is a woman who chooses to not tick these boxes and takes a dangerous route to fulfilment that will amuse &nbsp;as well as shock you. &nbsp;

Turn to these funny recommendations in times of pandemic stress

Playwright Ranjit Kapoor’s ’Janpath Kiss’, is a satirical comment on social mores and depicts how a random kiss caught on camera in a bustling market, ends up triggering a massive uproar. The Zee Theatre teleplay, now showing on Airtel Spotlight,&nbsp;reveals how this one fleeting moment changes the lives of protagonists Sadanand and Meera forever and binds them inextricably to each other.&nbsp;

Well-known theatre, cinema and television actor Aditi Sharma says, “This is the story of two ordinary people to whom something extraordinary happens. I play Meera, a happy-go-lucky air-hostess who is forcibly kissed by Sadanand (played by Zeeshan Ayyub) in Janpath, in full public view. Meera is a small-town girl who is traumatised not just by the incident but by what she is subsequently put through during the police interrogations. Her own family blames her for chasing her ambitions in a big city like Delhi. To complicate matters even more, there is a political pressure upon her to pretend that nothing inappropriate happened to her. The play very incisively depicts the society we live in.”

Aditi was more than happy to fine-tune her performance with the help of seasoned director Ranjit Kapoor. She says, “I am so glad I got an opportunity to work with the absolutely amazing Ranjit sir. My co-star Zeeshan and the other actors closely associated with the Delhi theatre scene were also wonderful to work with.”

Zee Theatre’s contribution towards preserving and popularising theatre is unmatched, says Aditi and adds, “Digitising a play is an incredible way of archiving and disseminating theatrical content. That Zee Theatre is reviving classic and contemporary plays is a blessing especially during the pandemic. This is a movement that I hope will thrive even when things are back to normal.”

The play also stars Yashpal Sharma, Sunil Upadhyay and Vinit Kumar.

It doesn't seem likely in the next three months, because there is a possibility of a third wave. Dinesh has checked all possibilities and finally decided to go online with Mimi. He has earned a good profit and is expected to make the announcement soon.”&nbsp;

The Weeknd is still not happy with The Recording Academy after the organisation announced that it was scrapping its controversial Grammy nomination review committees that vote unanimously. The singer has revealed that the announcement changes nothing and he is still going to boycott the Grammy Awards.&nbsp;

Last year, the Grammys had shut The Weeknd out of nominations for his best-selling After Hours album even though the world was sure that the singer would get ample nods for the same. The singer had then slammed the nominating process as unfair and announced that he was boycotting the show in the future.&nbsp;

He had then slammed the "secret committees" that led to him being shut out of Grammys 2021. &nbsp;

On the notable change, The Weeknd said, “Even though I won’t be submitting my music, the Grammys’ recent admission of corruption will hopefully be a positive move for the future of this plagued award and give the artist community the respect it deserves with a transparent voting process.”

As per the latest changes in the Grammys voting process, the rank-and-file Grammy voters will have a final say in who gets their names in the nominations and no longer review committees.&nbsp;

The Grammy committees were launched in 1989 and in recent years they've come under fire from some artists and executives who think that the academy's aggressive efforts to expand and diversify its membership in recent years makes the need for the review committees less relevant than they were more than 25 years ago.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode on Monday addressed the resurgence of optimism within America.&nbsp;

He said, “I’ll tell you something. Here in the United States, things are really looking up. There’s a new sense of optimism the likes of which [has] not been felt in quite some time.”

Jimmy Kimmel cited a new ABC poll, which says that Americans are “more hopeful about the future than they have been in 15 years.”

“Of course, the poll was conducted before we found out Elon Musk is hosting Saturday Night Live,” he added, “so we’ll see if it holds up. But 64% of Americans say they like the way things are headed.”

Jimmy Kimmel explained, “We’re also getting more amorous.”

One source of optimism for Americans is the continued easing of restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. From libraries to playgrounds, lots has opened up in America in the wake of a steep drop in active coronavirus cases.&nbsp;

John Oliver appeared on Last Week Tonight to dissuade people from sharing misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccine.&nbsp;

John Oliver tried to clear up myths surrounding the vaccine, such as the false viral claim that Bill Gates is attempting to insert microchips in Americans and mRNA in the vaccine will harm the body and cause infertility.&nbsp;

While the US has seen a steep drop in coronavirus cases, John Oliver has seen an alarming amount of people simply not wanting to get the vaccine. He cited a 20% decline of vaccinations from the start of April and played a series of local news clips in which vaccination sites across the United States are having issues filling their appointments. This is also a pressing issue due to the fact that vaccines have a certain shelf life.

This problem, Oliver said, stemmed from the amount of misinformation propagated online by anti-vaxxers, people who oppose vaccinations.

John Oliver expressed sympathy for hesitant communities of colors who, in the past, have had sour histories with vaccinations (e.g. Tuskegee Syphilis Study) and instead turned his lens onto conservative groups, familiarly, this time, onto Tucker Carlson.

He then urged viewers that they are individually responsible for getting vaccinated and to pacify other people’s qualms about the vaccine. “Please just try as hard as you can,” he told viewers.&nbsp;
