According to reports, Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West won’t be allowed to tour in support of their Vultures 1 album—at least not with Live Nation or AEG.
It has been reported that Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West will not be able to tour with Live Nation and AEG.
The largest tour promoters in the nation, Live Nation and AEG, announced on Thursday, March 7, that they were not planning to put together a tour with Ty and Ye. This information was first published by Hits Daily Double. The site has been informed by sources that, despite the unexpecteԀ global success of West and Dolla’s Vultures 1 listening parties, the two promoters would not work with the Donda creative, most likely due to his previous anti-Semitic remarks. Agent Cara Lewis is allegedly still exerting a lot of effort, but in vain, to arrange a tour for the YS couple, according to sources.
Nonetheless, Live Nation’s Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles, scheduled for March 14–17, still has Ye and Ty scheduled as its headliners. Hits has learned from sources that talent buyers added the duo without first speaking with promoters. Nevertheless, with the announcement of West and Ty’s inclusion, ticket sales for the event did not increase.
XXL has requested a statement from Ye’s representatives.
The development follows reports that Ye and Ty have made approximately $12 million from their Vultures 1 listening events thus far. In February, Billboard published a report stating that Ye and Ty’s listening events in Chicago and New York City brought in approximately $2.4 million apiece. The three European performances—held on February 22 at Milan Arena, February 24 at Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy, and February 25 at Accor Arena in Paris—had not yet been counted. Billboard asserts that their sales were comparable to those of the American shows.
