Kanye West releases new album, claims to be millions of dollars in debt

Kanye West's latest album is out, but its releasehas beenfar from smooth.

The Life of Pablo, his seventh studio album,is selling exclusively on his personal websitefor the first week andand is being streamed on JayZ-owned Tidal.

Afterrevamped deadlines andlast-minute changes, it finally came out late Saturday nightwithtechnical problems that left fans of the Ultralight Beam rapper ultra-frustrated.

It got to the point that his wife, reality starKim Kardashian West,tweeted to her 40 million followers,"Kanyewest.com just crashed.They are fixing it and the album will be available in the next 10mins."

Latershedeleted the tweet, but not before it was widelyretweeted as the album's issues remainedunresolved.

Kanye performed on Saturday Night Live and announced the album's release. But it has been his odd social messaging afterwards that's been getting the attention.

"I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt...," he tweeted Saturday night. "Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."

The guy seems to have no filter on his Twitter page lately,but publicizinghis money troubles may not bethe best marketing tool. Or maybe it's brilliant.

"Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas," he tweeted in another post.

Kanyealso recently launched his Yeezy clothing line, which is no cheap endeavour and might have contributed to his financial woes.

With the Grammyson Monday and Kanye'shistory with settling scores,viewers may be watching fora deja-vu from 2009when he rushed the stage at the MTV awards.
