Kanye just can’t stop tweeting.


After stirring up controversy by expressing his support for the accused serial rapist and disclosing his $53 million in debt on the social media platform, the rap-star has now taken to panhandling.


In a series of tweets, West asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to fund West’s artistic ventures, proclaiming himself to be this generation’s Walt Disney, and asked his fans to plead with the tech billionaire on social media to help him.








He also asked Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, for help, criticizing him for donating money to Africa instead of to Kanye West. Page has a net worth of $35 billion, and Zuckerberg $44 billion.
