Ty Dolla $ign Addresses Kanye West‘s Antisemitism After Months of Collaboration
The Fallout: A Delayed Response to Recurring Controversy
In the wake of Kanye West’s (now known as Ye) repeated antisemitic remarks and actions, including the recent sale of a T-shirt featuring a swastika and an online tirade on X, collaborator Ty Dolla $ign has issued a statement. This comes after a year of public scrutiny following numerous companies severing ties with West in 2022 due to his expressions of antisemitism and racism. According to a hiphopdx report, the collaboration between West and Ty Dolla $ign began to surface around the same time as the initial backlash against West.
Ty Dolla $ign addressed the controversy in an Instagram Story on February 12, stating, I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY.
However, he notably refrained from directly naming West in his message. This silence is particularly striking considering that his only Instagram post promotes a new song featuring West, creating a complex narrative of condemnation and continued collaboration.
