The rapper Ye is no longer buying right-leaning social media site Parler, the company said Thursday.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, had offered to buy Parler in October. At the time, Ye and Parlement Technologies, which owns Parler, said the acquisition would be completed in the last three months of the year. The sale price and other details were not disclosed.

A month after the attack, Parler announced a relaunch but didn't return to Google Play until September of this year.
