With this plea, he made himself the target for a lot of Kanye haters. Now hateful memes can be found online, including his comment of his $53 million debt.<\/p>\n<p>West is very popular in the music industry and he had just recently released his brand new, and much anticipated album \u201cThe Life of Pablo.\u201d Already, after he presented the world his new record, he received a lot of hate, from viewers and the news, about how his presentation of the album was nothing spectacular and he just simply pressed a button to play his songs. The fact that a few days later he posts this tweet does not make him much liked to a few people.<\/p>\n<p>West had also posted the following, a few minutes later: \u201cMark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas,\u201d also on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>This statement is very ironic and funny, as Zuckerberg is the CEO and founder of Facebook and not Twitter, and will most definitely not invest $1 billion for Kanye. The Guardian went on discussing West\u2019s further tweets and pleads to other \u201ctech billionaires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kanye West is a very well known rapper, who just came out with a new \u201cYeezy\u201d season and a new album, now happens to be in $53 million debt. Hopefully with his tweets, which are very clearly receiving a lot of attention from the media, which is not necessarily always positive, he will soon find someone to relieve and save him from his debt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By SARAH BRANDT \u201cI write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt\u2026 Please Pray we overcome\u2026 This is my true heart\u2026\u201d Kanye West.
