The agreement in principle to buy the social media service comes days after Twitter and Instagram restricted the rapper’s account for violating its terms.
Kanye West, now known as Ye, said that he planned to purchase Parler, in the wake of being suspended from Instagram and Twitter.
Parler was used by the Proud Boys chair to call on the group's members to "turn out in record numbers on the 6th" ahead of the deadly Capitol riot.
Billionaire musician Kanye West is buying Parler, the free speech-championing social media app that rose to prominence amid allegations that rival Twitter was suppressing conservative voices.
The company said that the deal would help create "an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome."
