Kanye West to buy social media platform Parler after ‘censorship from Big Tech’

Ye to buy Parler. Elon is in a “deal” with Twitter. It’s getting interesting

Kanye West, the rapper and fashion designer who is now legally known as Ye, is said to be on the verge of buying social media app Parler just days after he was removed from mainstream platforms like Instagram and Twitter for anti-Semitic posts.

Parlement Technologies, the parent company of Nashville-based Parler, said it expects the deal to be completed later this year. The company, which has raised about $56 million till date, did not say how much Ye will pay for the acquisition.

Parler, which launched in 2018 as a social media app that billed itself as one that allowed largely unmoderated content in contrast to Twitter and other platforms, was recently reinstated on Google and Apple’s app stores after being removed following the US capitol riots in January 2021.

Ye’s bizarre comments in recent weeks about ■■■■ has coincided with the end of his corporate partnership with apparel retailer Gap.

Adidas, the German-based sporting goods giant which sells Ye’s apparel line, has announced that it has put the partnership under review.

The rapper has also had problems with major social media platforms, being restricted a number of times.

Most recently, West was locked out of his Instagram by Facebook parent Meta Platforms for posts that online users condemned as anti-Semitic. He then moved to Twitter, posting for the first time in two years.

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

Ye seemed to have joined Parler on Monday and had about 91 followers at the time of the announcement.

The American rapper had announced in 2020 that he would run for president in an apparent challenge to former President Donald Trump, but later pulled out.

Parler has also garnered traction from supporters of Trump.

Last month Parler created a new parent company, Parlement Technologies, as part of an overhaul.

Ye’s remarks about ■■■■ have landed the rapper in hot water.

In 2018, Ye allegedly professed his love for Adolf Hitler, telling TMZ that slavery was “a choice.”

Van Lathan, the co-host of the “Higher Learning” podcast, said last week that Ye made the comments on camera but that his then-employer, TMZ, decided to censor the remarks.

Earlier this month, Ye was locked out of his Instagram account after sharing a since-deleted screenshot of a text exchange with Sean Love Combs, the rapper formerly known as Diddy.

Ye accused Combs of being “used” by “Jewish people.”

Last year, Bloomberg reported that West had $122 million in cash and stock as well as billions more in other assets, including his apparel lines.

In 2020 alone, West made $191 million from royalties paid out by Adidas.

Parler was removed from the Google and Apple app stores following the Jan. 6, 2021 rioting at the US Capitol.

In total, the Swiss bank UBS valued his sneaker and apparel business, over which West retains sole creative and ownership control, at somewhere between $3.2 billion and $4.7 billion last year, according to Bloomberg.

Last year, West signed a 10-year deal with Gap, which predicts sales in excess of $1 billion of “Yeezy” apparel by next year.

They should all the partner up and buy twitter and Facebook.
