Kanye Takes to Twitter to Ask Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg for $1 Billion to Rescue Himself From Debt
15 February 2016
On Valentine’s Day Kanye West staged another dramatic twitter fiasco. The famous singer asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for 1 billion dollars to fund his genius ideas in a tweet.
That’s right, we do not miss the irony in that. The musician used a competitive platform, Twitter, to ask Facebook billionaire for a money out of the blue. He went on to encourage his fans to try and contact Mark Zuckerberg through social media platforms in order to persuade him and demonstrate his wide reach.
He wrote, in a series of tweets: ''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 ... World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me...(sic)''
He then called himself the Walt Disney of our generation who needed support to make the world better.
While it seems the musician may have run onto hard times financially (apparently being $53 million in debt), he certainly is still as visible as ever with his regular crazy Twitter rants. Let’s hope the fashion line goes well and that bid for presidency in 2020 (if Twitter will be his main fundraising platform).
