Kanye West To Acquire Conservative Social Network Parler

Well, it happened. Elon Musk actually took ownership of Twitter. We’d love to say everyone was worried over nothing, but… certainly some big changes are already afoot. And they’re not exactly reassuring.

Kanye West is dominating the news lately, but definitely not in good ways. His antisemitic remarks on social media, combined with various interviews where he seemingly continues to either double down on the comments and say other inflammatory things have led to boycotts and serious business consequences for the rapper.

Even if you’re a billionaire businessman and musical icon, you can’t run away from spreading hate speech. Over the past week or so, we’ve seen the fall from grace of rapper Kanye West.

Ice Cube has taken to Twitter to refute comments made by Kanye West in an interview linking the rapper to West’s antisemitic views.In an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast – in which he made several inflammatory statements, and which has since been taken down from online platforms – West referenced Cube multiple times. At one point, West claimed that Cube had “really influenced” him to “get on this antisemite vibe”.West has made a slew of antisemitic comments over the past weeks. A post directed at the Jewish community led to West being suspended from Instagram and later Twitter, where he wrote that he “[would be] going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE”.West’s comments were criticised by the likes of David Schwimmer, John Legend, Jack Antonoff and KISS‘ Paul Stanley.

Kanye West now looks set to buy the ‘free speech’ platform Parler.Kanye’s agreement with Parler was announced in a press statement from the social media company today (October 17).“Parlement Technologies announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to sell Parler, the world’s pioneering uncancelable free speech platform, to Ye (formerly known as Kanye West),” the statement reads.“Ye has become the richest Black man in history through music and apparel and is taking a bold stance against his recent censorship from Big Tech, using his far-reaching talents to further lead the fight to create a truly non-cancelable environment.”Read the official press release about Parlement Technologies’ intent to sell the Parler social media platform to Ye: https://t.co/idUow9bvv6 #parler #news pic.twitter.com/sYcyyEBBQI— Parler (@parler_app) October 17, 2022The company added that Ye’s involvement with the company will help create “an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome.”Kanye added: “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”Since its launch in 2018, Parler has earned a controversial reputation and following the Capitol Riots in January 2021, the app was suspended from Google and Apple’s app stores for allowing users to create posts that “incite ongoing violence in the U.S.”. The app only returned to Google Play Store last month.News of Kanye’s acquisition of Parler comes amid a turbulent few weeks for the artist which began when he wore a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt at a Paris fashion week show.

Kanye West is set to acquire Parler, a conservative social media site notorious for misinformation and conspiracy theories, according to a statement released on Monday (October 17) by the company.

Kim Kardashian is making sure that her family is safe at all times. It seems the reality star was forced to hire extra security for her kids, after her ex-husband Kanye West revealed the name of their private school, in one of his controversial rants on social media.TMZ reported that additional security has been put in place to avoid any potential harm, explaining that Kim is concerned about their safety now that the public is aware of the name and location of the school.Kanye has been vocal about his desire to have his kids by his side at his newly opened Donda Academy, however the school has not been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and parents are said to be signing NDAs if they want their kids to enroll.

Fox & Friends Weekend were forced to make an on-air u-turn after learning about the hateful things Kanye West actually tweeted over the weekend.Initially, Will Cain, Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy supported West after it was revealed he was banned from Instagram for posts deemed “anti-semetic”.On Saturday (October 8) West shared a series of texts he’d exchanged with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs following Combs’ criticism of his ”White Lives Matter” t-shirt – a slogan tied to white supremacist movements. In one of those texts, West wrote to Diddy: “I’ma use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” Shortly after that, his Instagram account was restricted by Meta and posts were removed.“We’re in this weird era where people can’t just say what they want to say,” said Campos-Duffy, who had seen the post.

Kanye «Ye» West's controversies continue.

He then took to his Twitter account, where he posted for the first time in two years, calling out Mark Zuckerberg and claiming he was not anti-Semitic.
