We have finally gotten insight into the self-proclaimed “most influential human” on the earth: Kanye West, or, as he may like to be referred, Yeezus. Kanye has been dominating recent entertainment headlines with the release of his new album, The Life of Pablo / Waves / Swish / whatever name he’s decided for the upcoming week.

But even more interesting than his album is his chosen method of promoting himself: Twitter rants. First he went after Wiz Khalifa after he thought Wiz called out his wife, the equally Internet-famous (albeit for other reasons) Kim Kardashian. Then, he announced he was $53 million in debt, and needed the likes of Mark Zuckerberg to step in and “invest in the Kanye West ideas”. If these ideas are as inspirational as his Tweets, Flyby is ready to invest its massive social budget in the future of Kanye.

Pop quiz time. Some of the following are actual Kanye tweets, and some are Flyby originals. Which are which? Answers below.

A) “I AM THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON ON THE PLANET. I AM GOD’S VESSEL TO THE WORLD.”

B) “I’d rather teachers get paid more and books cost less… #2020”

C) “Shut the *$%! up and enjoy the greatness”

D) "I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle"

E) “Damn I’ll never see myself perform live. What I do for these people is life-changing.”

F) “World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me…”

Thank you, Kanye, for entertaining us all with your #twitterfingers. We can’t wait for #Kanye2020.
