Police break up release party for Kanye West-Ty Dolla $ign album

Between 200 and 300 people were dispersed Thursday night from an unlicensed party in southwest Las Vegas celebrating the release of an album by the rappers Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign.

County officials requested assistance from the Metropolitan Police Department at about 11:30 p.m. to send the group away from the 13000 block of South Decatur Boulevard, according to police spokesman Officer Bob Wicks.

The county issued some citations for the unlicensed assembly, but no one was arrested, Wick said.

The planned party for the release of the album by West and Ty Dolla $ign, titled “Vultures,” was announced on social media outlets X, YouTube and TikTok as happening at 11 p.m. at 13850 S. Decatur.

It was unclear whether either West or Ty Dolla $ign were at the event or there virtually.

Yazmin Beltran, a county spokesperson, said business license agents visited the locations at 9:45 p.m. and issued a notice of violation to the event’s main promoter for conducting business without a license and for holding a special event without permits.

Police assisted with preventing the event from occurring, Beltran said.

“The investigation is ongoing as there may be additional violations and other businesses involved,” she said.
