Kanye West tweeted last weekend that he is $53 million in debt and asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion to develop his personal ideas. He requested the world in a Twitter post to use Facebook, Instagram, and other social networks to persuade Zuckerberg to support him

The rapper also asked Alphabet CEO Larry Page to help him with his financial problems. West argued that people donate money to open schools in Africa instead of real artists like himself.

TV host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out a flaw in West's request to Zuckerberg on Twitter. He argued that it would be more effective on Facebook since Zuckerberg is a co-founder of the social network, according to The Week.

In fact, Zuckerberg and Page do not have verified accounts on the Twitter microblogging website.

West asked his Twitter followers to pray for him to overcome the situation. Some Twitter users used Facebook Messenger to ask Zuckerberg to help out West with his money issues.

West has recently spent tens of millions of dollars on his fashion company. His clothing line includes coats and jackets up to $4,000, and his sweatpants cost $510.

In addition, last year in a Black Entertainment Television (BET) interview West shared that his fashion business had put him in debt. He said the figure was $16 million.

In addition to Twitter users, Pizza Hut UK also responded to West's request for money on the social network.  Its official Twitter account offered him a job at the pizza restaurant chain.

Pizza Hut joked that it had received West's resume that day. So he could start working at 9:00 a.m. during the next day.  

The hip hop artist then explained that he needed to access more money to bring beautiful ideas to the world. Pizza Hut UK responded that he should call the restaurant chain.

It also included a fake resume from West. His "skills" included rapping, fashion design, and being the greatest, according to Mirror.

Last week West launched his new album "The Life of Pablo" and clothing collection at a New York Fashion Week runaway show. Over 20 million viewers watched the event streamed online.
