Ty Dolla $ign Releases Statement Condemning Hate Speech, Without Naming Ye
Written by djfrosty on February 12, 2025
Ty Dolla $ign has released a statement condemning all forms of hate speech. The California artist took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday preaching a message of unity and love.
“I do not condone ANY form of hate speech against ANYONE,” he wrote alongside different skin tones of emojis.
Dolla $ign didn’t name-drop Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — specifically, but it’s possible he felt compelled to speak up following West’s repeated antisemitic remarks and hate-filled tirades on X in recent days.
West and Ty teamed up for a pair of collaborative projects with Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 in 2024. The former topped the Billboard 200 and produced the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Carnival,” featuring Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid.
There appeared to be more music on the way from Ye and Dolla $ign as well in 2025, as Tyga previewed an unreleased song alongside the Vultures duo earlier this month. Before Vultures, West and Ty have collaborated in the past on tracks such as The Life of Pablo‘s “Fade.”
Ye deactivated his X account on Monday. Prior to that, West spent the weekend going on several X tirades filled with antisemitic, misogynistic and homophobic remarks, which also saw him calling for the freedom of Diddy and praising Hitler.
The Chicago native’s Yeezy website was shut down by Shopify after selling a swastika T-shirt. West’s remarks were rebuked by the Anti-Defamation League, Friends star David Schwimmer, Charlie Puth and Lyor Cohen.
“With antisemitism on the rise, your voice and influence carry a significant responsibility,” Cohen wrote in a letter to Ye. “I urge you to be more sensitive to the pain your words inflict on Jewish communities and all those who stand against hate.”
