Kanye West hasn’t been short of a news headline in recent days with the release of his new album, The Life of Pablo, and fashion collection. He has now revealed over Twitter that he is $53 million in personal debt.
In a series of tweets prior to his performance on Saturday Night Live, West dropped this bomb on everyone.
West then continued to ask for financial help from various people including Mark Zuckerberg. Specifically asking Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in “Kanye West ideas.” He continued to go on about all the great thing that could happen with his funding.
West’s recent ventures into the fashion world may be the reason for his insane debt. His first major endeavors started in 2014 when he collaborated with APC. At the time, APC founder Jean Touitou confirmed in an interview that West was $30 million in debt at the time. Since then, West has successfully released 3 seasons of his clothing line with Adidas.
(Mark Zuckerberg’s birthday is actually in May.)
