Kanye West takes to Twitter and asks Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to 'please call me' about $1 billion request

Kanye West, who recently claimed to be $53 million in debt and asked his fans to offer prayers, is seeking financial help.

West is focusing in particular on Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who yesterday was informed exactly how much money is being requested:

Obviously a check hasn’t yet been sent, because West is still trying to get in touch with Zuckerberg:

I believe that the first step in getting Mark Zuckerberg's help is asking on Facebook, not Twitter, @kanyewest https://t.co/y0tNrxgzun
