LOS ANGELES (Web Desk) – American rapper artist Kanye West has asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for $1 billion.
The 38-year-old rapper – who claimed at the weekend he is $53 million in debt – appealed to the Facebook founder to invest in his ‘ideas’ and thinks he is worth the money as he is the ‘greatest artist of all time’.
He tweeted: “Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.
“…after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time.(sic)”

He wrote: “Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw…
You love hip hop, you love my art… I am your favorite artist but you watch me barely breathe and still play my album in your house …
World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me…(sic)”
I don’t have enough resources to create what I really can…

And Kanye – who debuted his ‘Life of Pablo’ album at his Yeezy fashion show in New York last week – claimed he is “this generation’s Disney” who needs the “resources” to make the world “a better place”.
The ‘Gold Digger’ rapper also asked Google co-founder Larry Page for financial assistance, insisting helping him would be more beneficial than “opening up one school in Africa”.
hey Larry Page I’m down for your help too …
