Kanye West Asks Mark Zuckerberg And Larry Page For $$$

Hip Hop artiste Kanye West is in deep debt and is now reaching out to Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google's co-founder Larry Page to help him out monetarily.

In a series of pleas on social media, West appealed to Zuckerberg to bail him out of the $53 million personal debt he was in. How? By investing $1 billion in West, who by his own admission is the "greatest artist of all time."

Kanye West revealed his financial strife through a Twitter post, prior to his appearance on Saturday Night Live.

"I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt ... Please pray we overcome ... This is my true heart ..." wrote Kanye on Twitter on Saturday.

The Twitter messages calling out to Mark Zuckerberg for help were posted a day later on Sunday, urging the Facebook CEO to lend him some financial help.

Followed by:

Whether Kanye was requesting aid from the Facebook CEO or making a forecast is unclear from his message.

The authenticity of Kanye's claims of a $53 million financial debt is unclear, considering Forbes ranks the hip-hop star at number six in its Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2014. His earnings were estimated to be $30 million at the time.

Zuckerberg was not the only one who Kanye approached to help him out financially. He also reached out Larry Page.

Kanye's desperation to find a solution to his situation seems evident from the series of tweets he later posted on Twitter, addressing Zuckerberg. West went to the extent of saying:

The music artists even played the sentimental card and wrote "one of the coolest things you could ever do is to help me in my time of need."

And Kanye West did not stop at that as he tweeted out a message to his fans to help him get Mark Zuckerberg's support.

Zuckerberg and Page are yet to respond to Kanye West's proposal.
