Rapper Kanye West is looking for a new platform to share his unfiltered thoughts, and it looks like he may have found it at Parler.
After facing bans on Instagram for posting anti-Semitic tweets, the “Donda” rapper headed to Twitter, where he was locked out of his account after tweeting that he would do “3 deaths to JEWS.”
On Monday, October 17, right-wing social media app Parler announced that Ye had agreed to acquire the controversial app, which touts itself as an “irrevocable” space.

In a statement, the company said it expects the deal to close by the end of the calendar year. The statement added, “Terms of the proposed transaction will include ongoing technical support from Parlement and the use of private cloud services through Parlement’s private cloud and data center infrastructure.”
