Kanye West Begs Mark Zuckerberg for $1 Billion After Dropping Shocking Revelation About His Finances in Surreal Twitter Rant

Kanye West announced the release of his new album, “The Life of Pablo” via his Tidal app Feb. 13 on “Saturday Night Live.” The problem was the album wasn’t actually available until the wee hours of the morning Sunday.

On Valentine’s Day, Kanye serenaded Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Twitter with a barrage of tweets, asking the billionaire to lend him 1 billion dollars. West is currently $53 million deep in debt, according to a tweet the star composed while waiting to perform on “SNL.”

I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart...

Sunday’s rant began with a direct appeal to Zuckerberg to fund his creative projects.

He’s certainly not too proud to beg, though it can’t exactly be said that Yeezy is a “humble” guy.

after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time.

Kanye told fans that he was going to "fix" "Wolves," the track on his new album that features Chance the Rapper, before announcing a change in downloading strategy. Fans would be required to subscribe to Tidal in order to hear “The Life of Pablo.”

Several hours later, the strategy appeared to have paid off, making Tidal the top ranking app on the Apple App Store.

What Kanye wants, Kanye gets.

Man thank you so so so much everyone for signing up to Tidal. Tidal is now the number one app in the world!!! pic.twitter.com/O3r9DkX03R

Tidal is also funding a lot of my scripted content ideas. It's a new day people. More Ultra Light Dreams to be realized.

Not all of Ye’s followers were as confident as he was:

Yeezy, who clearly wasn't phased, took some time to remind the world of his achievements—past, present and future.

I'm practicing my Grammy Speech. I'm not going to the Grammys unless they promise me the Album of the Year!!!

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn't nominated for either ... I will have over 100 Grammys before I die.

I am the Jordan and Steph Curry of music, meaning I'm the best of 2 generations.

But even devoted Kanye fans had trouble stomaching all of his bold claims.

@kanyewest Your wife is gonna leave you bro.

West, however, didn't waste time rebuking the haters. He was on a mission.

I know y'all tired of music controlled by money and perception. I'm proud of every dime of debt I got.

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

And he wasn't giving up on Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw…

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

Very considerate. Except Zuckerberg’s birthday is May 14. And thank goodness because the Facebook mogul is probably overwhelmed with direct messages.

World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me…

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

I don’t have enough resources to create what I really can…

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

Mark, I am publicly asking you for help…

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

one of the coolest things you could ever do is to help me in my time of need

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

It remains to be seen as to whether Zuckerberg will take the rapper up on his proposal, and whether Kim is mad at the billionaire CEO for inadvertently ruining whatever Valentine's Day plans she might've had.
