Kanye West’s Unfolding Twitter Drama Just Got $10M Stranger
After asking Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest 1 billion dollars in his “ideas” and announcing he is “the greatest artist of all time” on Twitter this past weekend, the rap star has been made a $10M offer for exclusive ownership of his new album by Martin Shkreli—the boastful pharmaceutical exec who is out on $5M bail for securities fraud in the US.
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)"
The "All Day" hitmaker -- who has children North, two, and Saint, two months, with wife Kim Kardashian West -- went on to urge his followers to contact Mark to help him.
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)"
And Kanye -- who debuted his Life of Pablo album on Tidal and 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."
He wrote: "I'm this generation's Disney... I want to bring dope s**t to the world...
"I don't have enough resources to create what I really can...
"Mark, I am publicly asking you for help...
"one of the coolest things you could ever do is to help me in my time of need
"I know I can make the world a better place... I have done the impossible ... I retook the throne of rap... I beat the fashion game...(sic)"
The Kardashian husband claims to be $53M in debt.
West also asked Google co-founder Larry Page for financial assistance, insisting helping him would be more beneficial than "opening up one school in Africa."
In his lengthy Twitter outburst, he wrote: "hey Larry Page I'm down for your help too ...
"All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists...
"you'd rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country...
"if you want to help... help me...
"I promise I'm going to make the world dope.... all I do is make s**t dope #facts...
"All you guys had meetings with me and no one lifted a finger to help....(sic)"
West’s response to the shamed and embattled pharma king is unknown at this point, but you can read Shkreli’s own Twitter feed and the registered letter of intent to purchase the exclusive ownership right to Pablo here.
And then there's his bizarre, racist laced remarks that have leaked from his SNL taping, all of which suggest the man is in the throes of a public meltdown.
