Kanye West Explains Why He's Asking for Money in New Tweets

Kanye West has just written another long series of tweets to explain why he is asking billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg to give him money.

The 38-year-old rapper revealed the day before that he is $53 million in debt and he called upon the Facebook co-founder to give him $1 billion to fund his ideas.

“If I spent my money on my ideas I could not afford to take care of my family. I am in a place that so many artist end up,” Kanye wrote in his new tweets. “Also for anyone that has money they know the first rule is to use other people’s money.”

I just feel rich people are always too cool to ask for help trying to impress each other at dinner parties.
