Pizza Hut are keen to help out indebted rapper Kanye West, offering him a job "kneading dough".

Yeezey had urged people to buy his album, stressing that creating his dream brought him into debt.

But he needn't fear. Pizza Hut have responded to the distress, telling him to "stop telling everyone you need dough and try kneading some dough".

But it seems they weren't too happy with the CV that he applied with. That's despite his glowing references, including God, Kanye and Kim.

The job offer comes after West asked for money, saying he wants to "help the world and I need help to do it. I am an artist and I care about humanity".

"Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family. But I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world," he added.

Before you discredit his request to help him out of the $53m of debt he's found himself in, remember this:

West has even pleaded with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest in his ideas. He asked for one billion dollars to invest in "Kanye West ideas", though did not say exactly what those ideas were.
