The conservative media platform was created by Kanye’s BFF and political commentator ​​Candace Owens’ husband, George farmer. In a mutual decision, the almost partners have decided to terminate the decision of the sale.

According to CNN, Parler’s parent, Parlement Technologies, said in a statement that it “has mutually agreed” with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler. This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November. Parler will continue to “pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community.”

The original decision to purchase was acquired through the initial backlash Ye faced for his recent comments deemed anti-semitic.

Kanye West has always been outspoken and was set to acquire Parler.

Ye has been on a controversial tour that includes fashion statements and exposing messages from other celebrities. 

On their official Instagram account, the new social media platform posted a press release with a message from Ye. 

In the press release, Kanye said:

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

Kanye has had his social media pages suspended or locked due to previous statements.

Kanye was also on Drink Champs, where he riled up social media with his takes on Jewish people and George Floyd. Co-host N.O.R.E.  was pleased with the interview’s success, which had over a million views in less than 24 hours.  

Due to the backlash, the episode was removed from YouTube, and some fans were also not pleased with co-host DJ EFN for being “irresponsible” for not pushing back toward Kanye’s comments.
