Last weekend, Yeezy took to Twitter to make a plea to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, asking the billionaire entrepreneur to give him $1 billion because he's "this generation's Disney" and wants to make the world "dope." 

Once again, Kanye West went on a Twitter rant that made headlines, though this one didn't involve any random feuds with Wiz Khalifa or any other rappers. According to Billboard, Kim Kardashian's husband took to the social media platform to share that he's $53 million in "personal debt" from unspecified expenses.

On one of his characteristic rants on the social network, the rapper said that, as he's "this generation's Disney," he wants to bring "dope sh*t" to the world but doesn't have enough resources to do it alone.

West has, in fact, had three of waves of Twitter rants on the subject over the past 24 hours.

On the first one, he asked Zuckerberg to "invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas"; on the second one, the longest yet, West said that he's Zuckerberg's favorite artist and that "one of the coolest things" the billionaire could do was helping him out. On that same note, West also called Larry Page, co-founder of Google and current CEO of its parent company, Alphabet Inc.

Finally, in West's most recent tweets about his $1 billion demand, the rapper confirms that he is "personally rich and can buy furs and houses for [his] family," but that doesn't mean he's about to invest his own money on his projects.

As Market Watch reports, many of West's tweets seeking money from investors dealt with thinly veiled references about why they should help him out, even with no knowledge of what he's planning to do with that amount.

One of the things West did was suggest that it would be more helpful to the world if Zuckerberg gave him money instead of "open[ing] up one school in Africa," an obvious reference to the billionaire's philanthropic efforts to bring better education to children from impoverished nations.
