Fans have commented on the updates posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying that the delays indicate Ty Dolla $ign is "inspired by Ye," referring to fellow rapper Kanye West. Kanye's latest, Bully, has also had several delays in release, as reported by Sportskeeda on June 17, 2025. Three tracks from Bully were released on June 15, 2025.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign previously collaborated on the album series Vultures. There has been fan speculation that the duo has fallen out due to Kanye's controversial statements and also due to label pressures.

Wheels Fall Off, which dropped on February 11, 2025, was the first official single from the album. The track features Kanye West, credited as Ye, on both vocals and production, and is reportedly built around a West Coast-inspired beat. The single followed their earlier collaborative run as the duo ¥$, including the Vultures trilogy.

Ty's second single, All In, was released on June 6, 2025. It samples Wayne Wonder’s No Letting Go and marks a return to his romantic R&B style after his recent controversies with Ye. He debuted the track with a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the day of the release.

Tensions between Ye and Ty Dolla $ign

Ty Dolla $ign publicly distanced himself from Ye in February 2025 following a series of hate-filled social media posts by the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. On February 11, 2025, Ty shared a statement via Instagram Stories saying, “I do not condone ANY form of hate speech against ANYONE,” accompanied by a row of skin-tone emojis.

Although he did not mention Kanye by name, the timing of Ty Dolla $ign's post coincided with West’s controversial activity on X, including antisemitic and misogynistic remarks. Ye's Yeezy website was shut down by Shopify after he attempted to sell merchandise featuring a swastika.

Soon after Ty's post, references to Ye and their joint Vultures albums were removed from Ty’s social media. In March 2025, Ye claimed the split was not entirely voluntary. Speaking to DJ Akademiks, he alleged that Ty’s label pressured him into removing himself from their collaboration, threatening to drop artists from Ty’s EZMNY Records if the partnership continued.


Ye also accused Ty Dolla $ign of allowing others to shape his public statements, saying that Ty posted the message while Ye was mid-flight and without further discussion.
