Rapper Kanye West recently announced he owed $ 53million in a string of social media posts. Seeing the tweets, food chain Pizza Hut stepped up and offered the rapper a job.

There have been many responses to West's recent Twitter rant about his millions of debt, but Pizza Hut just won hands down, reports mirror.co.uk.

The rapper announced he owed $53million recently in a string of social media posts, writing: "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."

But as fans reacted to the news online, the rapper later took to Twitter to defend himself, admitting he needed the extra money to "bring more beautiful ideas to the world".

After the string of tweets, the food chain offered the rapper a job.

Their Twitter page wrote: "Stop telling everyone you need dough and try kneading some dough. We got your C.V. today. You start at 9am tomorrow."

After West wrote: "But I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world," they responded: "We're sorry Kanye. We just can't accept this. Please give us a call."

Alongside it was a mocked up CV, with his "skills" including "rapping, fashion design, keeping straight face, being the greatest, and album cover design".

With spelling errors and overlapping text throughout, it looked a speedy job - but got the desired response.

His "experiences" included "rapping, fashion design, making the best shoes ever, Glastonbury 2015, sit ups, and baggy pants."

Finally, his references included god, Taylor Swift, Kanye, Kim and North West - with a huge cross through Taylor's name.

Fans loved it, as one commented: "Sassy, Pizza Hut! Where did the resume come from?"

And one even hit out: "Mate shut your mouth you just got destroyed by pizza hut."
