In a weekend-long Twitter rant that was only interrupted by a Saturday Night Live performance and the release of his new album on Tidal, rapper Kanye West said that he is millions of dollars in debt and asked Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to invest in his ideas.
On Feb. 14 at 12:49 p.m., West suddenly asked Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in “Kanye West ideas... after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time.” (No one can ever accuse Kanye of lacking confidence.)
West then said he will “fix wolves” and announced the release of The Life of Pablo on Tidal. He then went into more details about his debt, which he revealed on Feb. 13. The rapper said that he is $53 million in debt and said on Feb. 14 that he is “proud of every dime of debt I got.” Then, West swung back to his pleas for Zuckerberg to support him. Apparently, even West doesn’t have Zuckerberg’s phone number.
West also decided to ask Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, for help. Hey, if you can’t get one tech billionaire’s help, you might as well try another one.
Also during his long Twitter rampage, he claimed that he was getting his Grammy speech ready, although he isn’t nominated for Album of the Year. He said he wouldn’t go unless they promised him Album of the Year.
