Ty Dolla $ign, who appears on the cover of the upcoming issue of Fader, says he’s not out to promote a gangbanging lifestyle. 

“We”re not promoting gangbanging here,” Ty says. “”Luckily, I got the homies that I got and kept me from doing some stupid shit, and I ended up here, not dead or in jail. That”s what they tell you about gangbangers, one of two things: dead or in jail. I just try to promote positivity. It”s not really worth it.”” 

In the interview, he also explains other aspects of life he is attempting to promote.
