It looks like things may have cooled off between Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West — two artists who once seemed inseparable in the studio.
In a recent interview with Complex, Ty was asked about the status of his relationship with Kanye following their highly publicized collaboration on the Vultures series. His response was brief — and noticeably cryptic.
“6 7,” Ty said. When pressed for clarification, he added, “I don’t really wanna talk about it, next one.”
The short, seemingly coded answer left fans speculating that there may be tension between the two hitmakers. Their creative partnership, which produced several chart-topping moments over the past few years, now appears strained.
Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West: From Collaborators to Silence
Ty and Kanye’s working relationship dates back years, with the pair sharing credits on tracks like “Real Friends,” “Only One,” and more recently, Vultures 1 and Vultures 2. Their chemistry was undeniable, with Ty’s melodic touch complementing Ye’s production genius.
But Ty’s cryptic “6 7” remark — which he repeated when asked about the upcoming Vultures 3 album — suggests that the once-fluid collaboration has stalled.
“There was a lot of music that was done,” Ty told the outlet. “But, uh… how should I say this? Uh… 6 7.”
The repetition of that phrase has left fans decoding its meaning — with theories ranging from an inside reference to a creative disagreement to a private code between the two artists.
The Fallout
The alleged rift seems to stem from Kanye’s controversial statements earlier this year, which sparked backlash across social media. In response, Ty appeared to publicly distance himself from Ye’s remarks, tweeting:
“I do not condone ANY form of hate speech towards ANYBODY,” followed by multi-skin-tone fist emojis.
Kanye, however, didn’t take kindly to the public statement. During a conversation with DJ Akademiks, he addressed Ty directly:
“You letting these n**as put words in your mouth,” Ye said. “We supposed to handle that sht privately, not in public.”
The exchange marked a turning point in their relationship, as both artists began focusing on solo endeavors.
What’s Next for Ty and Ye?
Despite the tension, Ty continues to work on Vultures 3, though it’s unclear whether Kanye will remain involved. While he confirmed that “a lot of music was done,” he offered no timeline or definitive answer about the album’s future.
Fans are divided — some holding out hope for reconciliation, others believing the partnership has run its course. Either way, their story underscores how quickly creative alliances can fracture under the weight of public scrutiny and personal conviction.
For now, all anyone has to go on is Ty’s two words: “6 7.”
