Before his "Saturday Night Live" performance, Kanye West had some things to say on Twitter.
The "Life Of Pablo" artist posted a series of tweets Saturday night before taking the stage at "SNL," talking about Paul the Apostle, his "purpose to help the world" and a $53 million debt.
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
He was a learned man not of the original sect so he was able to take the message to the rest of the world...

He was saved from persecution due to his Roman citizenship... I have the right to speak my voice...

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
All memes are wrong... The Life of Paul... The life of Pablo... Ultralight beams... Moms dads daughters sons stand up...

Let's dance in the streets. I am consumed by my purpose to help the world.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart...
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
This is all all is fun all in good feelings... We will all be gone 100 years from now but what did we do to help while we were here!!!
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 14, 2016
They are calling me to the SNL stage now ... Speak soon...

Saturday concluded a huge week for the rapper, who debuted his Yeezy Season 3 collection and streamed his new album, "The Life Of Pablo," at Madison Square Garden on Thursday during New York Fashion Week. What followed was a flurry of headlines about some of his misogynistic song lyrics, mainly the one addressing Taylor Swift.
