It looks like Kanye West has someone who edits his tweets for him

Kanye West's Twitter feed might seem like a surreal stream-of-consciousness - alternately begging tech CEOs for cash, praising Adidas, and berating "white" publications over their reviews of his latest album.

But it looks like the outspoken rapper might actually employ someone to edit his tweets for him.

Late Monday night (or early Tuesday morning, depending on your timezone), Kanye - AKA "Yeezy" - apparently sent a very strange tweet:

Perhaps the fathers (suggestion: the fathers out there or just "perhaps fathers") can relate to this

It looks a lot like someone copy-edited the tweet and left a suggestion on how to rephrase it - but then accidentally set it live.

Business Insider didn't see the alleged tweet, which has since apparently been deleted. But Twitter user David Hutchinson managed to grab a screenshot.

There are also multiple other tweets from around the time it was apparently sent that quote it, and it's also discussed on a music forum. All together, it looks like the tweet was legit.

Kanye West's camp wasn't immediately reachable for comment, but the tweet appears to show an editor leaving notes on how to rephrase the tweet.

Alternatively, Kanye might have left the notes for himself as he planned the tweet. Or perhaps the entire tweet was deliberate - an unusual sentence construction - that the rapper only decided he didn't like after sending it.

Whatever the truth - Kanye West's Twitter game just got even weirder.

Earlier this week, after admitting he is $53 million (£36.6 million) in debt, Yeezy asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to give him one billion dollars to help fund his "ideas."

In his latest tweetstorm, Kanye announced that his newly released album, "The Life of Pablo," will never be on Apple, or available to buy - forcing fans to install Tidal, a streaming service he has a stake in, to listen.
