“It would make for a crazy documentary” — Ty Dolla Sign opens about making Vultures

During his interview with Billboard, he also opened up about the making of Vultures and revealed:

“Japan was hotel rooms, Italy was hotel rooms. Then we got Sting to let us use his Italian villa. At first, we were just recording in the living room, recording by the pool, setting up recording equipment out there, and then we found out that there’s an actual recording studio there. It’s a very expensive album, I will say that. It would make for a crazy documentary.”

Moreover, he also talked about the album’s delayed sequel, Vultures 2, and stated that all of the songs on the album are ready. Ty Dolla Sign said:

‘How can we get it there? How can we go bigger than the first album? Certain people will probably expect you to just do the same exact sound, but that sound’s already out.”

Ty Dolla Sign’s statement about Kanye West, where he showers praise on the rapper, came as a shock to many social media users, as Ye has been in the headlines many times in the past few years for his controversies. In 2022, he was bashed for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt during the Yeezy Season 9 fashion show.

As per CBS News, the phrase emerged as a racist response to the popular Black Lives Matter movement that started in 2015. Ye also addressed the controversy back in the day and stated that the original movement was “a scam.”

After that, he was also bashed for his antisemitic remarks, as he shared a tweet targeting the Jews, which led to him getting banned on major social networking platforms like Instagram and Twitter. It all started after he tweeted that he would be going “death con 3 on Jewish people,” which left many on the internet anguished.

While Ty continued to pour praise on his fellow rapper, Kanye West, social media users commented on various responses on social media, as many sided with the two rappers while others continued to bash both Ty and Ye. However, at the moment, Kanye has not responded to Ty Dolla Sign’s compliments about him.
