On Valentine's Day, the 38-year-old musician put out a tweet claiming he was massively in debt in his personal capacity.
I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart...

But fear not, Kanye fans, your hero has a plan to improve his struggling finances. He wants Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest in him a sum that will rescue him twice over. Call Kanye, Mark.
Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas

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

Now, just in case the unspecified 'Kanye West ideas' aren't intriguing enough (after all, who wouldn't want to invest in a man who, true story, decided that diamonds make for good dentures?), Kanye would like your help and mine in getting Mark Zuckerberg to fund him.
World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me...

This is slightly creepy:
Mark, I am publicly asking you for help...
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
Perhaps this rebuke will help:
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
If Mark Zuckerberg won't, perhaps Google co-founder Larry Page will:
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...
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page - never, just never forget who the real artists are. Because:
I'm this generation's Disney... I want to bring dope shit to the world...
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
I am the Jordan and Steph Curry of music, meaning I'm the best of 2 generations.

Meanwhile, Kanye, who is married to Kim Kardashian and has two children, intends to run for the White House in 2020. Before that, he intends to win a Grammy tomorrow.
I'm practicing my Grammy Speech. I'm not going to the Grammys unless they promise me the Album of the Year!!!
