Following on from his revelation that he is $53 million in personal debt, Kanye West has taken to Twitter again today, this time in a bizarre appeal to get Mark Zuckerberg’s attention, ostensibly so the Facebook founder can bankroll Yeezy’s continued creative output.
It started 12 hours ago with the following tweets.
Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas

after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
He then went back to more traditional Kanye Twitter fare, such as urging fans to sign up to Tidal by holding his album hostage for another week to threatening not to attend the Grammys this year unless they promise him best album.
I'm practicing my Grammy Speech. I'm not going to the Grammys unless they promise me the Album of the Year!!!

I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn't nominated for either … I will have over 100 Grammys before I die.

That didn’t last long though, these next tweets embodying a Martin Shkreli troll-type quality.
