Kanye West made a reference to being "$53 million dollars in personal debt" on Saturday.
West, whose Twitter announcements have made headlines multiple times in recent days, 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..."

His tweet came at the end of a string of messages Saturday night, apparently written while waiting to perform on Saturday Night Live.
Who Does Kanye West Need to Apologize to This Time?
The string began with an apparent reference to the apostle Paul, and later appears to reference the gospel artist (and new West collaborator) Kirk Franklin.
Paul ... The most powerful messenger of the first century... Now we stand here 20 centuries later... Because he was a traveler...— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
Please forgive the profanity and give hugs and blessings to my brother Kirk for standing by me... In a few hours the journey begins...— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
Meanwhile, a now-former West collaborator is speaking out about his own relationship with the outspoken hip-hop star, 38.
Replying to a follower's request to co-write West's Twitter and media statements, Rhymefest tweeted Friday, "my brother needs help, in the form of counseling. Spiritual & mental. He should step away from the public & yesmen & heal."

He wrote something similar in reply to another request from a follower to collaborate with West again: "nah his mind and spirit isn't right."
Rhymefest (né Che Smith), who co-wrote West's "Jesus Walks" and "New Slaves," as well as John Legend's "Glory," clarified in a tweet that he stopped working with West last month.
@Ahticus @lord_cornwall OK if that's what you're reading lol, but honestly I just left last month. Ah &peep me at my Grammy nomination Tues— Rhymefest (@RHYMEFEST)
West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo, was released Sunday.
It's been an eventful week on Twitter for the artist. Earlier this week he faced new controversy for saying that Bill Cosby is "innocent," and for a new lyric (and his tweeted defense of said lyric) about Taylor Swift.
