Kanye West Admits To Being $53 Million In Debt

Yikes! Now that Sallie Mae student loan balance doesn't seem so bad.

Kanye West has been letting his stream of thought fly on Twitter as of late, and while sometimes his 140 characters leads to controversy, other times they lead to a bit of confusion and maybe even a raised eyebrow.

On Saturday (February 13) just as he was about to perform on Saturday Night Live, Kanye West revealed everything isn’t all peaches and cream in his life.

Kanye West, the owner of 21 Grammys, announced he’s $53 million in personal debt, which is far from chump change. At the 2015 BET Honors, during a behind-the-scenes interview, Kanye West said he was $16 million in debt trying to get his clothing line off the ground, so it’s very plausible Mr. West has gotten deeper in debt.

The announcement came just a day after ‘Ye premiered a few tracks from his highly-anticipated new album The Life of Pablo at Madison Square Garden.
