Kanye West's dream of owning his own social media platform is over, the company behind Parler has confirmed.
The rapper, 45, had been in discussion to purchase the alternative to Twitter for some time but both parties have now walked away from any potential deal.
The news was announced in a statement on Twitter by Parler. The company told its 226k followers: "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."
