Ty Dolla $ign would disassocate from Ye in a tweet. "Ty put up the tweet before we landed," West told AK. "He said I gotta say something. Say I'm not racist, but Ye is.' We agreed upon that. When I landed, he tweeted, 'I don't condone hate speech.' Now you letting them put words in your mouth. I 137x his career... And while i'm on a plane, you put up, word-for-word, Jews vernacular. My thing is, we can sit and talk it out. I know they [the record label] on your head, but you ain't got to denounce me."

In May 2022, EZMNY Records entered a joint venture with the iconic Motown Records, marking a significant milestone for the label.

In February 2025, Ty Dolla $ign severed ties with Kanye West, following a string of incendiary, antisemitic remarks and controversial actions that ignited widespread condemnation. The two had collaborated on the "Vultures" album series in 2024, but as West's rhetoric grew more extreme, Ty Dolla $ign made it clear he would not stand by in silence.
On February 11, he addressed the situation on Instagram, writing, "I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY." He punctuated the statement with diverse skin-tone emojis, underscoring his commitment to inclusivity. Soon after, he scrubbed his profile of any references to West, including promotional content tied to their joint projects. His decision came in direct response to West's inflammatory posts on X (formerly Twitter), where he praised Adolf Hitler, declared himself a Nazi, and attempted to sell swastika-emblazoned merchandise on his Yeezy website.
