Pizza Hut Just Epically Owned Kanye West on Twitter

Kanye West has been in the news for a mix of reasons the past few weeks — Twitter meltdowns, feuds with Taylor Swift, and, oh yeah, a new album — but his latest headline isn’t one he’s likely to like. He was burned masterfully on Twitter by the UK division of Pizza Hut.

The Chicago rapper has been tweeting incessantly over the past few days about how he needs more money to create more of his music. And he’s been tweeting all of his accomplishments. So someone put all of that together into a resume, and Pizza Hut let West know that he wasn’t quite up to their standards.

As of yet, it seems West has not responded. The tweet was perhaps inspired by West saying that he was $53 million in debt, though that number has not actually been verified.

 

Given that he’s married to a member of the money-printing Kardashian family, he seems unlikely to need fiscal help.
