Kanye West let it all out on Twitter this past week, and in one of his many rants, he revealed that he's $53 million in debt. What?!
While defending father-in-law Caitlyn Jenner, slamming Taylor Swift and defending his new clothing collection, Kanye also dropped the bomb that he owes millions. "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt," Yeezy tweeted. "Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."
Last year Kanye admitted he went $16 million in debt while trying to launch his Yeezy clothing collection, telling reporters at the 2015 BET Honors, "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. I don’t care about somebody’s Ghost (Phantom) or somebody’s house. I care about my vision." Seeing as he purchased a $20 million home with wife Kim Kardashian, we're not sure we believe that, but we'll have to take his word for it for now...
After his latest online rant, Kanye performed on Saturday Night Live last night, and sang two of his new tracks, “Highlights,†and "Ultra Light Beams." Last week Kanye played his new album, The Life of Pablo, at his Yeezy Season 3 collection launch at New York's Madison Square Garden, and it's now available on Tidal and kanyewest.com.
