Yeezy's not pleased! Kanye West is back on Twitter with yet another rant. This time, he's taking on an issue that some of his fans may actually relate to.
The dad of two — daughter North, 2, and son Saint, 2 months — railed against the high cost of education in a series of tweets on Tuesday, February 16.
"I have a friend who works really hard and makes $370 dollars a day … Her son just got in a really good school and his textbooks are like $400 dollars each," West, 38, tweeted. "I mean, his mom has to work 2 days just to afford 1 book for her son she’s giving everything she has to make sure her son has a better future."
"Education puts Americans into debt before they even get a chance to get started … We have to lower the price of textbooks," he continued. "I'd rather teachers got paid more and books cost less … #2020." (The 2020 is in reference to him previously saying that he'd run for president in 2020.)
West also claimed that the late Steve Jobs (who died in 2011) wanted to lower the cost of textbooks, too. The star has been fond of the former Apple CEO for years, even giving him a birthday shout-out in 2012.
"WE LOST STEVE A YEAR AGO TODAY. HE IS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING AND INFLUENTIAL HUMAN BEINGS OF OUR EXISTENCE ALONG WITH MICHAEL JACKSON, WALT DISNEY AND DR. [MARTIN LUTHER] KING," West tweeted at the time. "LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR HIS LIFE AND RESPECT HIS LEGACY BY NEVER COMPROMISING ON OUR FUTURE."
West has been using up a lot of his 140 Twitter characters as of late. The star — who had a meltdown during Saturday Night Live over the weekend — memorably lashed out at Wiz Khalifa last month. He has also tweeted that he's $53 million in debt, Bill Cosby is innocent amid sexual abuse allegations and "white publications" shouldn't write about black music.
Last week, the "Bound 2" entertainer went on a Twitter rant about his new song "Famous," in which he says that he made Taylor Swift famous. West claimed that he gave Swift a heads up about the lyrics, but in response, Swift took a jab at him during her Album of the Year acceptance speech at the 58th Annual Grammys Awards on Sunday. West has yet to respond.
