Following on from his revelation that he is $53 million in personal debt, Kanye West has taken to Twitter again today, this time in a bizarre appeal to get Mark Zuckerberg’s attention, ostensibly so the Facebook founder can bankroll Yeezy’s continued creative output.
It started 12 hours ago with the following tweets.
Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas

after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
He then went back to more traditional Kanye Twitter fare, such as urging fans to sign up to Tidal by holding his album hostage for another week to threatening not to attend the Grammys this year unless they promise him best album.
I'm practicing my Grammy Speech. I'm not going to the Grammys unless they promise me the Album of the Year!!!

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.

That didn’t last long though, these next tweets embodying a Martin Shkreli troll-type quality.
Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw…

You love hip hop, you love my art… I am your favorite artist but you watch me barely breathe and still play my album in your house … — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

It wasn’t just Zuckerberg he was looking for help from mind you, Google co-founder Larry Page also being thrown in as a bit of an afterthought, before Kanye opened up on Silicon Valley in general.
hey Larry Page I’m down for your help too … — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists…

All you guys had meetings with me and no one lifted a finger to help….
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
The public can’t seem to make up their mind whether this is Kanye being a genius, honestly baring all his financial woes to world and seeking to be reborn a new on a wave of Zuckerbergs cash, or this is Kanye going through a bit of an episode. Still Kanye doesn’t seem to be too hung up on it all, as he finished the rant off with some philosophical musings.
…on another note, can brah be the girl verson of bruh??? — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
