The ugly business logic behind Kanye West’s Parler acquisition​

At least one other buyer was approached before the West acquisition and described the asking price as wildly inflated


Candace Owens played him
Over the last year, there have been more immediate signs that the company was scrambling for revenue. In March, the platform launched an NFT marketplace called DeepRedSky, but it has largely failed to gain traction. The current featured collection — a series of tokenized portraits of the conservative commentator Brandon Tatum priced at $50 each — has sold only three tokens.

You the one defending this man making anti black statements over the years

What makes you so special cac?

Im not defending no one.. Im telling you while y'all wasting energy on Kanye West, black boys and girls across the nation are not performing at grade level. Go get some flash cards and teach some kids how to f*ck read. Getting on the internet crying about Kanye, thinking you're making a difference, is some pathetic shyt.

Total grift and finness

Say what you want about Jay Z, Beyoncé , Kim K etc but those people actually kept giving him cash and he ain’t paid none of them back

Candace and em are broke. They need his money.

They’ll pump that dying company up. Dump it to him.

Candace has made her husband a richer man.

Kanye is just a crazy man with no true allies who’s exposed and DOLO. He fired all his financial advisors and lawyers

He is prime real estate for right wing scammers

Nah he is a well known porn addict and trick to heterosexual women. His porn addiction (including him putting on porn hub at a Yeezy executive meeting) is one of his core things

Financially irresponsible? Yes

Gay? No
I dunno man. I remember when Kanye was first coming out in the day, he had a interview with sway and sway asked was he gay. Dude seemed bothered with that question

"Kanye self-funded DONDA 2, because Def Jam did not renew his contract after he'd fulfilled his initial 10 album deal, as well as the listening parties for the album. Living in stadiums cost him an estimated $1 million a day.

He self-funded his YEEZY SZN line and fashion shows, including the one he did at Madison Square Garden, the one on Roosevelt Island where the models' shoes kept breaking and the PFW show he just did, which again cost millions that he did not recoup.

He contributed to his own presidential campaign.

He put up the initial capital for Donda Academy, his unaccredited warehouse school.

He self-funds his Sunday Services. He bought Parler.

He might lose the deal that brings him the bulk of his income if Adidas drop him, he made $141 million from it last year."

And is still the richest black man in america

Jokes and Kanye's goofiness aside, I thought the list above was what we all aspired to be able to do.
We can't keep talking about "ownership" and "independence" and then criticize when somebody actual goes out there and does it.

The reason Kanye keeps coming back up is because in the absurdity of his actions, often times, there's a fragment of logic.
Multiple things can be true; Kanye is a self absorbed, self destructive, insensitive, entitled, childish, narcissist, and one of the most talented, creative, disruptors of our time.

His actions have consistently been more and more destructive so unfortunately, watching his demise will be entertaining rather than sympathetic.
