Michael Jordan, Jay-Z and Oprah are entrepreneurs

No, they are not. They are black people who got famous through entertainment media or sports. They were only able to build brands for themselves because they became famous through the entertainment industry.

I have to disagree with your assessment.

Do you somehow believe they never play a role in management? Such as Michael Jordan buying his own stakes in different sports teams?

I also disagree that using fame to advance your career is somehow a negative. It's the opposite. Businesses or people go viral all the time. Actually being able to capitalize on it is how you maintain success in the longterm, instead of ending up as a fad.
