The Life of Pablo has finally dropped but Kanye West’s tweets continue to baffle.
Before his appearance this weekend on Saturday Night Live, the rapper claimed on Twitter that he is $53m in debt.

Then on Sunday, he began appealing to Mark Zuckerberg for investment.

The tweets continued late into the night/early hours.
Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw…

you’d rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country…

Whether or not Kanye gets the investment he is looking for from Zuckerberg still remains to be seen, but it does appear that his last Twitter appeal may have had some impact: the TIDAL app now ranks #1 on the overall iOS App Store charts for the first time.
Please for all music lovers. Please subscribe to tidal!!! I decided not to sell my album for another week. Please subscribe to tidal.
