Update?
being 53 Million in debt is really hurting him...
Kanye West is at the centre of controversy once again.
The 38-year-old rapper took to Twitter to share a photo of his laptop screen to show that he was listening to a Sufjan Stevens song but hawk-eyed fans found something much more interesting about the snap.
One of the tabs Kanye had open in his web browser read 'Pirate Bay Torrent Xfe...' which lead many to believe that he could have been downloading an illegal torrent.
Others, including EDM producer Deadmau5, even accused him of stealing wavetable synthesizer programme Serum by Xfer Records as 'Xfer Records Serum t..' could be seen in another one of the tabs.
The music production programme, which retails for $189, is used to produce high-quality sound with an easy-to-use interface.
Deadmau5 , who also cofounded Xfer Records, was quick to chime in on the allegations as he tweeted to Kanye: 'What the f*** @kanyewest ... Can't afford serum? D***.'
Taking it personal: The 35-year-old music producer - real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman - took to Twitter to not only accuse the rapper of stealing the programme but also offering to create a collection to get Kanye a legit copy
The 35-year-old music producer - real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman - did not stop there as he continued: 'Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum.'
The Ghost & Stuff hitmaker finished off the social media rant with: 'He needs a small loan of 200$ #prayforyeezy.'
One user posted: '@kanyewest torrenting serum? nice. @steve_duda congrats you've made it.'
Steve Duda is a musical artist who is close friends and often works with Deadmau5, who also creates plugins used for music production under his Xfer Records brand which sells Serum.

Another Twitter user wrote: '@kanyewest DOG IM SURE U CAN AFFORD SERUM CMON MAN.'
This comes just weeks after it was reported that the Good Life hitmaker was considering a lawsuit against the file-sharing site Pirate Bay.
'Kanye is going to meet with his legal team to discuss the possibilities of starting legal action against torrent site Pirate Bay,' a source told HollywoodLife.com.
Within 24 hours of it's release, Kanye's latest album The Life Of Pablo was reportedly pirated 500K times and the husband of Kim Kardashian was not happy about losing those profits.
More problems: At least 500,000 people illegally downloaded his latest album The Life of Pablo (above) during its first day of release
The insider for the gossip site also explained that Kanye is 'furious because he's potentially lost millions of dollars.'
Just a few weeks ago the artist who refers to himself as Yeezus claimed to be $53 million in debt.
This all comes to a head as the tension over money and power has been thrust into the public eye after he took to Twitter last month to open up about his debt and even make a public plea to Mark Zuckerberg to 'invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.'
After making the public appeal, he then claimed he had a great response, with 'billionaires and hedge fund guys' quickly getting in touch.
However, he has launched into another late night Twitter rant where he said he wouldn't 'let people use my debt against me.'
