The rapper also asked Alphabet Inc CEO Larry Page to help him with his financial troubles.

West, who claimed he was "still 53 million dollars in personal debt," said that people do not give money to "real artists" like him but rather open schools in Africa.

Neither Zuckerberg nor Page have verified accounts on Twitter, the microblogging website.
