Singer Kanye West said on Twitter that he's $53 million in debt

Kanye West - the self-proclaimed "greatest artist of all time" - claimed on Twitter over the weekend that he's $53 million in debt.

West dropped the bombshell on Twitter before performing on "Saturday Night Live" saying, "Please pray we overcome -- this is my true heart."

It is unclear whether he was serious, but he did call on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in his ideas. What those ideas are remains a mystery.

West continued early Monday morning, pleading for Zuckerberg to call him.

In case Zuckerberg didn't see it, West asked his followers to get the word out.
