Kanye West has bought Parler, the social network popular with conservatives and far-rightists. Reported by CNN with reference to the organization. The deal to buy the social network is expected to close before the end of the year. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed. The rapper’s fortune is estimated at about two billion dollars.
the rapper said in a press release.
Kanye West signed up for the social network on October 17 after being blocked first on Instagram* and then on Twitter (blocked in Russia). The reason for the block was the rapper’s offensive posts, which the moderators considered anti-Semitic.
The social network Parler is known for positioning itself as the “uncensored Twitter”. During his reign, he gained popularity among supporters of former US President Donald Trump, who complained that Twitter restricted freedom of speech. Trump is currently blocked on Twitter. Also, Kanye West has previously expressed support for Trump.
It was also previously known that Kanye West was at the center of another scandal: In a podcast, he said that George Floyd, whose death during detention sparked riots within the Black Lives Matter movement, actually died of a drug overdose. According to the official version, Floyd suffocated as police kept his knee in his throat for more than nine minutes.
*Instagram is owned by Meta, a recognized extremist organization in the Russian Federation.
