Ah, Kanye West loves Kanye West. And you know what he may love more? Money. Lots of it. Because the man who sells sweatshirts riddled with tons of holes — because that's trendy — for thousands of dollars is $53 million in debt and has turned to Twitter to express his struggles.
The words of wisdom that West throws up on his Twitter page is gold. It's the equivalence of a pissed off 13-year-old girl's secret diary who talks about boy troubles and how everyone doesn't understand her. And many of his followers still don't understand him because he really just rants and switches his emotions like a hormonal woman in her eighth month of pregnancy.
Not only this, but West turned to Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, to help pay his debts. A millionaire asking a billionaire for money. And what a perfect way to contact the master of Facebook — by Twitter.
West claims to be the reason as to why so many celebrities have a name in the spotlight. He "owns" some of their wives and children too, or so he claims to on his personal virtual diary.
With a man of this stature, everyone should be crawling and draining their accounts to help him and his desires. Could you imagine living in an average home, driving a decent car or wearing alright clothing? The struggles. The absolute struggles.
Him abbreviating his words and talking like a 14-year-old who is texting rather than writing out his thoughts in full, intellectual words should give him some extra time to try to come up with a financial program to help with his funds.
I've had financial struggles and I'm sure everyone who has bills has had struggles, too. It sucks. Welcome to reality. If you choose to donate to West, that is your choice; I won't tell you how to spend your money by any means. But there are so many other organizations, charities and individuals who are truly in need you could donate your money to.
