Ty Dolla $ign Condemns Hate Speech After Kanye’s Antisemitic Remarks

Ty Dolla $ign appeared to respond to Kanye West’s latest string of offensive posts with a short statement shared on his Instagram Stories last night.

While Ty did not address West directly, or mention his name, he wrote, “I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY.”

Ty and West have collaborated frequently over the years and formed the duo, ¥$, in 2023 — a point at which West’s history of antisemitism and making other offensive remarks was well known and documented. In February 2024, ¥$ released their debut album — and first of a reported trilogy — Vultures 1. (The original album cover notably featured art from German painter Casper David Friedrich, whose work was widely beloved by the Nazis, paired with typography that seemed to nod toward Burzum, a Norwegian black metal band fronted by a Nazi sympathizer and convicted murderer. It was eventually replaced.)

While Vultures 2 followed in August 2024, since then there’s been no word on when (or if) the final installment will arrive. A representative for Ty Dolla $ign did not immediately return Rolling Stone‘s request for comment on the status Vultures 3 or if Ty plans to remain a member of ¥$. 

West launched his latest tear last week with a posting spree on X, where he spewed a lot of the same kind of antisemitic stuff that previously got him banned from the platform the last time, along with a variety of homophobic, misogynistic, and ableist posts. The posting continued over the weekend, though by this Monday, Feb. 10, it appeared that West had deactivated his account on his own accord.

By then, though, the focus of the controversy had shifted. West purchased airtime during the Super Bowl for a Yeezy commercial, which featured him in a dentist’s chair asking people to go to the company’s website. The one item available was a white T-shirt with a swastika. 

Since then, the Yeezy store page has been taken down by Shopify for violating the company’s terms of service. And West has been dropped by his talent agent Daniel McCartney at 33&West.
