Kanye West said via Twitter that he is $53 million in debt. Awwwwww...

Somehow my sympathy and empathy seem to have been misplaced this morning. I do hear a faint sound in the distance of the tiniest violin in the world playing ''My Heart Cries for You."

Some talking head suggested that it might be because he's "charged" his new album and tour meaning that he's likely to get it all back.....

 

[disappoint]

I genuinely do feel very bad for...

his fans having to listen to him.

 

[waggy]

well if his music didn't go to shit..

 

[Artdeco]

I love all music, watched him on SNL this weekend, he's a jackass, and his music is terrible.

He's been asking Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars via Twitter, seriously...

 

[Genx87]

I can barely write this reply due to the amount of tears flowing from my eyes.

Well... releasing his album exclusively on that shitty Tidal music service probably wasn't a good idea.

But, hey... he'll do fine. He can sponge off of the Kardashians now.

Why are you sorry that his fans get to listen to him. They're the ones that want to listen to him.

Just messin, we know what you mean

West, who's married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian, has been putting tens of millions into his fashion label. According to Business Insider, his latest clothing line is selling high-end coats and jackets for as much as $3,000 to $4,000. The Kanye sweatpants alone cost $510.

In a 2015 interview with BET, the controversial rapper said he incurred $16 million in debt from his fashion business.

"I was trying to play a sport that's a billionaire sport. It's not a millionaire sport and I'm proud of the debt," he boasted.

West, on Sunday morning, asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in his ideas because he is "the greatest living artist and the greatest artist of all time."

World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me…

His ego is as large as his debt.

I'm not sure which no-talent ass-clown I'd piss on first if they were on fire - Kanye or Drake. I guess Golddigger is a tolerable song and nothing I've heard from Drake was even remotely listenable but it's still a dilemma.

 

[SearchMaster]

His ego is as large as the national debt.

FTFY

 

[zerocool84]

He lost it in his businesses so doesn't that mean he gets to write off the losses anyways?

 

[WaTaGuMp]

His amazing fashion line should bring in billions.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Zero sympathy. It's one thing to be in debt because you can't afford to pay cash for stuff like a house, and then you lose your job, but when you have millions you really have no excuse to be in financial trouble.

 

[SheHateMe]

I bet $53 Million he lost a lot of that money investing in Tidal.


His new album is pretty good though. Kanye haters gonna hate.

Why are you sorry that his fans get to listen to him. They're the ones that want to listen to him.

We're sorry for them because they don't know quality if it struck them upside the head.

 

[Artdeco]

Sad thing is, the BS has put Tidal at #1 in the app store.

thank you cptn obvious

Did that remark make you feel better about yourself?
