Kanye West wishes he could have had music on the Deadpool or Deadpool 2 soundtracks, and he's a little put out by hearing what he thinks are sound-alike acts in the movies instead.
West, one of the most popular recording artists in the world, also manages to stay in the headlines with his unconventional personal life, which includes marrying into the Kardashian family and being a vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump (who is generally unpopular among African-Americans).
It should be no surprise, then, that when he has an itch to get invovled in a billion-dollar film franchise, West tweets about it publicly rather than making a phone call.

"Clear" in this case means clear the rights for use. Popular artists, especially those who have significant pull with their record label, usually have the right to clear or not clear music rights for use in films, commercials, and other such ancillary media.
Of course, there may not be any future solo Deadpool films, with filmmakers and star Ryan Reynolds have sent mixed messages about the future of the franchise, which will continue next in an X-Force team-up movie.
