Kanye West has taken his new album off sale, saying he needs to "fix" one of the tracks - and asked Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg for a $1 billion investment, insisting that he's 54 million dollars in personal debt.
After long delays, huge hype and four different album names, The Life Of Pablo finally went on sale yesterday (14 February). It includes 18 tracks, and collaborations with the likes of Frank Ocean, Rihanna, Chance The Rapper and more.
That same day though, he decided to take the album off sale again, tweeting, "Ima fix wolves." For some reason, despite the desperate need to fix 'Wolves', the album is still streaming on Tidal: "Please subscribe to tidal!!! I decided not to sell my album for another week. Please subscribe to tidal."
Meanwhile, West has made a strange, rambling plea to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, asking him to invest in "the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time," saying he's 53 million dollars in personal debt.
I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart...
