Kanye West asks Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for $1bn after saying he is $53m in debt

Kanye West has asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1bn in his "ideas" - shortly after claiming he is $53 million in debt.

The 38-year-old rap star posted some surprising messages today about his finances.

In the latest rant, he wrote: "Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.

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

The tweets came shortly after he posted: "Let's dance in the streets. I am consumed by my purpose to help the world.

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

"This is all all is fun all in good feelings... We will all be gone 100 years from now but what did we do to help while we were here!!!

"They are calling me to the SNL stage now ... Speak soon... (sic)"

Kanye, whose net worth was thought to be around $100 million, also came out in support of Caitlyn Jenner, after she attended his show at Madison Square Garden in New York, when he debuted his new album 'The Life of Pablo' and his latest fashion collection.

Alongside a photograph of himself and Caitlyn, Kanye wrote: "I'm proud of this picture with me and Caitlyn... She gave the most heart felt speech at my wedding.

"and was there in full support to see me realize this dream... (sic)"

After months of waiting Kanye 's new album The Life of Pablo is out now and fans are obsessing over song - I Love Kanye.

It's no secret that the rapper is known for his uber-ego and the tongue in cheek song - which appears to have been inspired by the meme "love yourself like Kanye loves Kanye" - mocks his changing public image.

Referencing how he's changed since his first album College Dropout was released in 2004 it talks about "old Kanye", "new Kanye", "always rude Kanye" and how fans miss the "sweet Kanye".

He raps: "I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye, The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye.

"I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye."

It continues: "What if Kanye made a song about Kanye, Called 'I Miss The Old Kanye,' man that would be so Kanye.

"That's all it was Kanye, we still love Kanye, And I love you like Kanye loves Kanye."

With the long-awaited album finally released on Saturday it didn't take long for I Love Kanye to start trending as fans dissected Kanye's meta musical offering.
