GoFundMe started to help lift Kanye West from his crippling debt
Despite the lavish lifestyle and appearance(/delusions) of grandeur, Kanye West is actually broke. Like $53 million broke.
Last week Kanye dropped seventh LP The Life Of Pablo, but the megastar admitted on Twitter that he's in need of a few pennies:
I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart...
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
I know y'all tired of music controlled by money and perception. I'm proud of every dime of debt I got.

He even went so far as to publicly beg for $1 billion from tech giants Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page:
All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists…
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
you’d rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country…
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
if you want to help… help me…
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
The jury's still out on whether Page and Zuckerberg are planning to invest, but in the meantime, one enterprising fan has launched a GoFundMe page for Ye.
"I want to make Kanye smile again," the campaign's description reads... thought it might need more than £37 million to make Kanye smile.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, no one's donated yet; lots of people have very supportive words in the comments section, however.
