Oct 17 is the new day.
The rapper said on Monday that he had agreed to purchase Parler, a social media platform that has fashioned itself as the "free speech" alternative to Twitter.
Parlement Technologies said it had entered an agreement to sell the platform to West, who now refers to himself asYe.
The statement says that the acquisition will ensure that Parler remains a welcoming place for everyone.
The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Parlement may continue to provide technical support and cloud infrastructure for the social media app even after Kayne acquires it, according to a press release.
There is an announcement that the rapper has opened a new account on Parler, but he hasn't made a post as of early Monday morning.
In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial, we need to make sure we have the right to express ourselves.
In recent weeks, West has been at the center of several major controversies after he shared several anti-Semitic comments and bizarre conspiracy theories. The rapper showed up at the fashion show wearing a white Lives Matter shirt along with a right-wing commentator. He was banned from both platforms after unleashing anti-Semitic rants. The rapper appeared on Tucker Carlson's show for an interview which had to be heavily edited to remove more anti-Semitic remarks.
The story is evolving.
