Ty Dolla $ign is not about to entertain any negativity. The artist from California utilized his Instagram Story on Tuesday to express his views, promoting a message filled with togetherness and compassion. βI do not condone ANY form of hate speech against ANYONE,β he stated, paired with emojis of various skin tones.
Though he did not explicitly mention Kanye West, the timing of his message certainly piques interest. West, who now identifies as Ye, finds himself at the center of yet another dispute. Over the weekend, he unleashed a wave of antisemitic and inflammatory messages on X. The backlash has been immense, leading to tangible repercussions.
Ye and Ty have a history of collaboration, with their recent partnership resulting in the Vultures series in 2024. The first installment, Vultures 1, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured the popular track βCarnivalβ with Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid. Their creative journey continued with Vultures 2, and even more music is anticipated in 2025. Recently, Tyga teased an unreleased song featuring the duo, hinting at upcoming projects.
However, as Westβs behavior continues to incite anger, many brands and public figures are choosing to sever ties. Shopify shut down Yeβs Yeezy website after he tried to sell a T-shirt displaying a swastika. His X account is now inactive.
Numerous celebrities and industry leaders have condemned his statements, among them the Anti-Defamation League, David Schwimmer, Charlie Puth, and Lyor Cohen. Cohen made a heartfelt appeal to Ye, stating, βWith antisemitism rising, your voice and influence hold substantial weight. I implore you to consider the hurt your words cause Jewish communities and others who oppose hate.β
