This article was written by ABC7.com staff and published February 15th of 2016

Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2015, in Los Angeles (left). Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears in this Feb. 24, 2014 file photo (right).

The article addresses that Kanye has tweeted at the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg to invest 1 billion dollars to his ideas shortly after announcing that he was 53 million dollars in debt. He also made it clear that he was the "greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time". 
Later Kanye yet again calls out Zuckerberg by tweeting "All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists..." and "World, please tweet, Facetime, Facebook, Instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me...".

Obviously Kanye needs money. But to interpret this on a deeper level. As we all know Kanye is known for his great music along with his enormous ego. As if you didn't think his ego could get any bigger he calls out Zuckeberg. Kanye has developed an ego so large that he thinks he has so much power. Because he thinks hes the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time Kanye now thinks others with power will come help him whenever he needs as if he is king of the world.

I choose this article because it is another example that displays his ego and having this article in the blog will help the viewers shape of what they think about Kanye and his ego. This article connects to the blog post about Kanye and Twitter and also the blog post about the Grammys because this event happened on twitter.
