Kanye West to acquire Social Media platform Parler

Kanye West will buy out free speech-friendly social media platform Parler in the wake of his Twitter and Instagram accounts being suspended, according to multiple reports Monday.

Parent company Parlement Technologies announced an agreement in principle for the rapper to take control through a financial investment in a press release along with a posting to Parler.

The Wall Street Journal reports the company said the acquisition “ensures Parler a future role in creating an uncancellable ecosystem where all voices are welcome.”

The bid follows West’s antisemitic rants this past weekend as he targeted what he called, “Jewish media,” while blaming Jews for a host of other ills in his life, as Breitbart News reported.

In his recent interview on Revolt TV’s Drinks Champs podcast hosted by rapper Noreaga, aka N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, West ranted about how the “Jewish media” has silenced him from speaking out.

Now he is looking to buy an outlet of his own.

“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” said West in a statement released by Parler.

West’s net worth is reportedly $2 billion. Much of his fortune comes from his Yeezy sneakers brand and partnerships with Gap and Adidas.

Parler chief executive George Farmer said: “This deal will change the world, and change the way the world thinks about free speech. Ye is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again.”

Under the terms of their agreement in principle, the parties intend to enter into a definitive purchase agreement and expect to close during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Last week, West’s Twitter and Instagram accounts were suspended with a spokesman for ******** (now known as Meta), the parent company of Instagram, saying the rapper had posted messages which violated its policies.

West’s Twitter account is still active but he cannot post until the suspension ends, after an unspecified period.

Earlier this month, West was criticized for wearing a White Lives Matter T-shirt to his collection at Paris Fashion Week.

This timeline is wild, man. Is every (right-wing) billionaire going to buy each social media platform? This is all very entertaining to me and I wonder how the landscape will change in the coming years.

I don't know anything about Parler other than when it was in the news all the time regarding the 2020 elections.

That being said, the irony in all this is that if Kanye actually follows through with this, he'd automatically be more credible than Elon Musk after the twitter fiasco.

I thought Parler was bunk because it was cancelled off the internet and nobody could download the app

theres to many social media sites now, since they banned all the right leaning people from twitter.

gettr, gab, parler, truth

hate to say it but they are echo chambers. No "undecided" people are going to get on these. gab is the coolest though.

we need back on twitter so we can troll and red pill the ****s.
