Kanye West has issued many controversial, bizarre tweets in recent months from his claims of Bill Cosbys innocenceto his continuous corrections of his track listto new LP, The Life of Pablo. But one of his most talked-about Twitter sprees focused on being 53 million dollars in personal debt and his plan to overcome by seeking out wealthy investors. Stephen Colbert had a field day with Wests tweets on Tuesdays Late Show, roasting the rapper-producer on his unorthodox business methods.
But first, he poked fun at Wests recent Grammy Awards boycott. Kanye West was a no-show at the ceremony after threatening to boycott the Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, despite not being nominated for Album of the Year, Colbert said. Same reason he refuses to attend the Westminster Dog Show.
The host also referenced Taylor Swifts Album of the Year acceptance speech, which seemingly alluded to Wests new album lyric, I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.Kanye, I have a feeling the odds of you having sex with Taylor Swift are about the same as winning a Grammy you werent nominated for, Colbert cracked.
But the segment focused primarily on Wests debt and Twitter-hosted investment requests including Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.Brilliant! Colbert said. I cant think of a better way to reach out to the founder of Facebook than the one place hes sure to look: Twitter.
West recently tweeted a link to his Donda idea chart, which categorized ideas including 7 Screen Movie Experience and Emoticon Auto Correct. Colbert joked that Its like an eight-year-old imagining their dream treehouse.
