Ty Dolla $ign may have started as a behind the scenes, low-key kind of guy but he's steadily making his way to the forefront. Recently the South LA singer was featured on Beyonce and Jay Z's surprise album, he provided backing vocals and production work on Ye and Kids See Ghosts and he was on Christina Aguilera's first album in six years, Liberation.
"I've loved Christina Aguilera ever since I was a kid, when that whole pop scene – her, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears – all came out. She for sure, out of all the females, was my favorite singer," he said of X-Tina during his Rolling Stone interview. As for one of his more recent features, Ty surprisingly linked up with Bhad Bhabie on her latest drop "Trust Me."
"I noticed some people in the comments were talking shit, but I feel like Bhad Bhabie is a fucking superstar," he said, explaining how he admires her vulnerability. "It's a movement."
After talking about his close relationship with his 13-year-old daughter and always maintaining a positive vibe in "this crazy world," he explains what's next and of course, it's more #1 singles as well as an upcoming collaborative project MihTy with singer Jeremih.
"I want to get 100 of those," he said. "It just shows that anybody that believes in themselves can get whatever the fuck they want if they just stay with it. The first time people [heard] of me was in '09 on "Toot It and Boot It" with YG, and that was made in my grandmother's crib in the back room. Now we're at the top of the Hot 100. I just want to make more."
