Thanks to an exclusive on **Kayne West**'s new album "The Life Of Pablo," **Tidal** is the currently **#1 most downloaded app on iTunes.** On Twitter, West said that the album will only be available on Tidal forever. But it was a bizarre series of tweets claiming that he was deep in debt and begging Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg for help, that left some questioning Kayne's mental stability.

> My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal.

If Kayne West keeps his promise, it will be a boom for Tidal, as well as, for streaming music in general. But that was the least controversial thing that West tweeted over the weekend, according to [CelebrityAccess:](http://www.celebrityaccess.com/?ref=hypebot.com)

Shortly before he appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Saturday, West tweeted: "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt… Please pray we overcome… This is my true heart…" Hours later, he tweeted at Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, suggesting that the billionare invest in Kanye. "Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas," Kanye tweeted, shortly before suggesting in a subsequent tweet that he was the "Greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time."
