During a Twitter rant just ahead of the release of his The Life of Pablo album in February 2016, Kanye revealed the financial hole he was in and solicited help from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to bail him out.
“I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt…” he wrote in since-deleted tweets. “Please pray we overcome… This is my true heart… Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.”
