Ty Dolla $ign has spoken out following days of tirades from Kanye West that included antisemitism, fat shaming, condoning sexual assault and more.
Taking to his Instagram Story on Tuesday night (February 11), Ty disavowed “hate speech” – but didn’t directly call out his Vultures counterpart or say he disagreed with what he’s been saying.
“I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY,” he wrote with fist emojis of all shades.

Ty Dolla $ign’s statement arrived just hours after Shopify had shut down Kanye’s website for selling a t-shirt with a swastika on it.

Ye ran an ad during the Super Bowl that aired in select cities and directed viewers to his website – which before the game featured regular items from his Yeezy clothing line. But once it aired, he wiped his store clean and began selling just the one shirt which he named HH-01, likely for “Heil Hitler.”
Ye himself had even posted those exact words to X days prior in his antisemitic tirade.
Ye has yet to comment, as his X account has been banned following his latest rant. His Instagram page remains active, but he has wiped it clean and has not posted.
Back in June, Ty explained why he had no problem joining forces with Kanye despite his emergence as such a controversial figure.

“Ye is the best artist of this generation, besides me, and I don’t give a fuck about what people were talking about,” he told Billboard. “I know my n-gga. He’s one of the best people I’ve ever met.”
He went on to add that he was never worried about whether or not the controversy surrounding Ye would impact the success of the album.
“Just with my analysis of how it goes with him, he goes all the way to the top,” the singer and producer explained. “And something may happen and he’ll say [something people find offensive] — and then people [get] right back, you know. Because this sh-t is undeniable.”

The pair have had a working relationship for many years that dates back to at least 2016. And despite the many bizarre rants Kanye has gone on since that time, this appears to be the first time Dolla $ign has commented at all.
