Kanye West embarked on a Twitter tirade on Saturday and Sunday in which he stated he is "53 million dollars in personal debt."

The rapper opened by explaining the meaning of the third and final title to his new album, "The Life of Pablo," after which he tweeted, "Let's dance in the streets. I am consumed by my purpose to help the world."

He then buried the proverbial lede in his following tweet, when he said, "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt … Please pray we overcome … This is my true heart …"

West clocked in at No. 20 on Forbes' 2014 list of highest-paid celebrities.
