Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign used the duo name ¥$ on *Vultures 1*. The symbol combines the Japanese yen sign, ¥, with the dollar sign, $, and the name is commonly pronounced “Ye and Dolla Sign.”
The pair presented ¥$ as a collaborative hip-hop superduo rather than simply listing the album as a standard solo Kanye West release. Ty Dolla Sign announced the project’s existence in October 2023 in an Instagram post displaying the symbol, helping establish the group identity during the album’s rollout.
The name can be confused with GOOD Music, Kanye’s record label, or with earlier Kanye-associated partnerships such as The Throne, his duo with Jay-Z, and Kids See Ghosts, his project with Kid Cudi. ¥$ specifically refers to Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. *Vultures 1* was their debut studio album and was followed by additional releases in the *Vultures* series.
