Far-right social network Parler will not be acquired by Kanye West.
If the news does not really surprise, insofar as the ex-billionaire is practically "broke" (by his standards) since all his business partners have abandoned him, it was confirmed by the very controversial platform in a press release very sober, relayed… on Twitter.

This decision was made in the interests of both parties in mid-November.
Parler will continue to seek new opportunities for growth and platform evolution for our vibrant community,” the post read.

Ye probably hadn't anticipated the consequences of his actions.
Everyone, from Adidas to Balenciaga, via his agents, or even Gap, with whom he had set up very lucrative commercial links, have decided to end their contract with the interpreter of
