Ye, formerly Kanye West, announced Monday morning that he’s agreed to buy Parler, a free speech social media platform.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, broke the internet again on Monday morning, with a bombshell announcement that nobody saw coming.
According to its own Twitter page, Parlement Technologies, which runs the right-leaning Parler social media platform that rose to stardom after former President Donald Trump was kicked off of Twitter, has agreed in principle to a buyout deal with the billionaire, award-winning rapper, and fashion designer.
Parler CEO George Farmer released a short statement to confirm the groundbreaking deal.
“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.” #parler #uncancelable

The deal was announced on the same day West joined Parler. In a PR statement, he explained why he feels it necessary to go all-in and acquire the platform.
“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.
