Late Sunday night Kanye hopped on Twitter and started thanking people for downloading Tidal, as it hit No. 1 in the app store.
He continued with a bizarre series of Tweets through Sunday night and into Monday morning- “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 ...
He continued about how he was rehearsing his speech for the Grammys, which he said he wouldn’t attend “unless they promise him the Album of the Year.” This quickly turned into how he knows people are “tired of music controlled by money and perception,” and eventually he started addressing Mark Zuckerberg, the head and creator of Facebook.....

| West says tech entrepreneurs listen to hip-hop, but are more interested in opening schools in Africa than helping celebrity rappers |
Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, who says he is $53 million in debt, has asked Facebook Inc's Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion into his "ideas."
West asked his Twitter followers to urge Zuckerberg to support him. "World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me ... West tweeted.
The rapper also asked Alphabet Inc CEO Larry Page to help him with his financial troubles.
West, who claimed he was "still 53 million dollars in personal debt," said that people do not give money to "real artists" like him but rather open schools in Africa.
On Saturday night, prior to releasing his eighth studio album and performing on Saturday Night Live, the rapper revealed via Twitter that he was $53 million in debt.
"I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt," he tweeted. "Please pray we overcome ... This is my true heart."
Some Twitter users have reached out to Zuckerberg via Facebook Messenger asking him to help the rapper out.
West has been putting tens of millions into his fashion label. His latest clothing line is selling high-end coats and jackets for $3,000 to $4,000. The Kanye sweatpants cost $510.
In an interview with BET, the controversial rapper said he incurred $16 million in debt from his fashion business.
More than 20 million viewers watched West debuted his new album, "The Life of Pablo" and clothing collection during a New York Fashion Week runway show last Thursday.
It probably wasn't the best idea for Kanye West but if he pulls it off, it will be his most brilliant idea ever!
