Kanye's apparently been hanging out with conservative pundit Candace Owens (the two wore matching "White Lives Matter" shirts at his recent fashion show, she's evidently been acting as his publicity agent, and he repeated several of her talking points about George Floyd on his Drink Champs interview); Owens' husband, George Farmer, is CEO of Parler. So there appear to be some interesting interpersonal entanglements here that are possibly driving this decision.
