There is no redemption for Kanye West now! On December 1st, 2022, the rapper appeared on Alex Jones ‘InfoWars’. The rapper along with Nick Fuentes touched upon Ye’s ‘White Lives Matter’ controversy, anti-Semitism, Balenciaga, and more.
However, it was one of the most gut-wrenching, loathe-worthy shows of 2022. During the show, Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes were handling his Twitter account via which they were constantly tweeting and tweeted the most scandalous things including a Swastika and Star of David-infused symbol for his political campaign, tweets hinted at the platform’s CEO Elon Musk. The ‘Donda’ rapper already has tainted his brand of being an artist and fashion mogul after multiple deals evaporated due to his anti-Semitism. Now, the right-wing social media platform, Parler has also dropped West as the buyer.

Kanye West And Parler “Mutually Agreed” To Terminate The Deal
The last straws are in low numbers now for Kanye West as a conservative-led, right-wing platform has also terminated a deal with the rapper. In October 2022, reports started surfacing that the Grammy-winning artist and Parler had struck a deal where Kanye initiated a deal with the platform for purchasing it. However, now, the deal is no more amidst Kanye’s downfall in the abyss.
In response to numerous media inquiries, Parlement Technologies would like to confirm that the company 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.

The Deal Was Already A Controversial One
It is not the first termination of any deal that Kanye West made. After his continuous hate-mongering behavior, spewing anti-Semitic comments, many industry giants terminated deals and partnerships with West. It included the long-time collaborators Balenciaga and Adidas. The biggest blow he received was when Adidas terminated the deal after keeping it “under review” in the aftermath of the Paris Fashion Week. The entrepreneur is no longer a billionaire.
In October 2022, the CEO of Parlement Technologies, George Farmer said, “This deal will change the world, and change the way the world thinks about free speech. Ye is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again”.
Now, the deal will not see the light of day anymore. But, even before it was official, the platform has been contentious. Robert Mercer, a hedge-fund investor, and his daughter Reekah funded the platform. Senator Ted Cruz and Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump were prominent names attached to it. But, after the January 6th, 2021 riots, the site was taken down as it spread violent messages across it. It would have been unimaginable the amount of destruction the platform must have caused if Ye was helming it.
