Rapper Kanye West has been releasing stress via Twitter for the last few weeks. With his new album “The Life of Pablo,” formerly called “Waves” and at first called “Swish,” being released last week and his “Yezzy Season 3” fashion line launching, the man has a lot on his plate.
However, Kanye has been stranger than usual. Ill-advised Twitter beefs with his ex Amber Rose and her ex-husband Wiz Khalifa started this new state of Kanye’s Twitter persona that has taken the world by “storm.” Most recently the Chicago-based rapper has announced that he is $53 million in debt and needs Silicon Valley to donate $1 billion to him. His tweets started around midnight:

But Twitter users found all of this to be comedic.
Kanye is in debt 53 million dollars now he's going to be homeless like his clothing line

Being a Kanye fan is so stressful now, it was easy to defend him but at this point I don't even know what he's talking about half the time

I'm all for one being confident, even a bit arrogant when the competition calls for it, but Kanye has taken false prophecy to another level.

If Kanye West hasn't already lost his mind then he def. lost it after his latest rant, this man really said, "If you want to help… help me."

Kanye's Twitter makes Chris Brown's Twitter look like Between the World and Me.
