Tyga

Early life

Micheal Ray Stevenson was born on November 19, 1989, in Compton, California, and raised there until he "was about 11, 12", before moving to adjacent Gardena. He was born to Jamaican and Vietnamese parents. His mother, Pasionaye Nicole Nguyen (September 11, 1971 – January 18, 2025), was born in Vietnam and had the maiden name Nguyen. He grew up listening to Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Cam'ron, and Eminem, among others.

On December 3, 2012, debate arose concerning Tyga's upbringing. Tyga claimed to have been brought up in the low socioeconomic area of Compton, but in leaked footage from the unaired television show Bustas, he claimed he grew up in a "well-to-do" home in the Valley, where his parents drove a Range Rover. He also claimed that he attained his nickname from his mother calling him Tiger Woods. There has been speculation that his claims on the show were satirical and not to be taken seriously. Tyga responded to the video's leak on Twitter: "When u 14 an ambitious u don't give a fuk about anything. Scripted tv isn't that what we all live for. Hahahaha."

Career

2007–2010: ''No Introduction'' and mixtapes

For some reason, I didn’t throw Tyga’s out. I kept it and listened to it like, homie got potential and he had a lot of energy. So I took him under my wing.

Tyga's career began with him releasing a multitude of demo tapes and mixtapes. His 2007 debut mixtape, Young On Probation, garnered the attention of rapper and Gym Class Heroes frontman, Travie McCoy. Seeing talent in the artist, McCoy led him to sign a recording contract with Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's independent label Decaydence Records. Tyga ended up performing on Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" remix with McCoy and Lil' Wayne at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. He also performed at gigs with Gym Class Heroes and received mentoring from McCoy. McCoy stated that he "had [Tyga] sending me verses every other day. We started doing interviews, and he was like, 'This my big cousin Trav.' So a lot of people had the misunderstanding we were blood-related".

On June 10, 2008, Tyga released his debut studio album, No Introduction McCoy's imprint, BatSquad Records. It was preceded by the single "Coconut Juice," featuring McCoy, which became his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition to McCoy, the music video featured appearances by Pete Wentz and Lil' Wayne. The album peaked at number 112 on the Billboard 200 and received mixed reviews. A song from the album, "Diamond Life" was used in the video games Need for Speed: Undercover and Madden NFL 2009, as well as in the 2009 film Fighting.

Around this time, Tyga formed the record label G.E.D. Inc. (Grinding every day, Getting every dollar, or Getting educated daily) around the time, the same imprint that helped launch the career of fellow West Coast rapper Schoolboy Q, with whom he has worked with early in his career. Tyga also has a G.E.D. Inc tattoo above his right eyebrow.

2011–2012: ''Careless World: Rise of the Last King''

Careless World: Rise of the Last King was his second studio album. The album was released on February 21, 2012, on Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Universal Republic Records. It was a shift from the poppy dance sound exemplified on his previous effort, No Introduction, and geared towards the gangsta rap style first heard in his collaborative album with Young Money, We Are Young Money (2009). Tyga stated that the album shows he has grown up but still relates to the kids. In preparation for the album, Tyga released the mixtape #BitchImTheShit in December 2011.

The album was preceded by four singles. Its first, "Far Away" (featuring Chris Richardson), was released on May 17, 2011, and peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its second, "Still Got It" (featuring labelmate Drake), was released on October 4, 2011, and peaked at 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its third single, "Rack City", was released on December 6, 2011. It first appeared on Tyga's Well Done 2 mixtape, and was later listed to the album following its commercial success. It debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at number eight. Its fourth single, "Faded" (featuring label boss Lil Wayne), was released on January 13, 2012. It peaked at number 33 on the chart.

For the remainder of that year, Tyga made several guest appearances on other singles, most notably on the Billboard Hot 100 entries "Snitches Ain't…" by YG, "Ayy Ladies" by Travis Porter, and "Get Low" by Waka Flocka Flame. In August, he released the mixtape Well Done 3, which spawned by the single "Do My Dance" (featuring 2 Chainz). The song peaked at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Also that year, Tyga also produced and co-directed (with Justice Young) a multi-AVN Award-nominated crossover adult film, Rack City: The XXX Movie, which starred Skin Diamond, Jada Fire, Ice La Fox, Sophie Dee, Lexington Steele, Kristina Rose, London Keyes and Daisy Marie.

Main article: Kyoto (Tyga album), Legendary (Tyga album)

On February 16, 2018, Tyga released his sixth studio album, Kyoto. The album was panned by critics and sold poorly, becoming his first album to fail to chart anywhere.

On May 16, 2018, Tyga released the single "Taste" featuring Offset of Migos. The song was a hit, becoming one of the biggest songs of summer 2018 and peaking at number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It marked Tyga's first entry on the Hot 100 in three years, since 2015's "Ride Out", and is certified 9× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song is considered the catalyst for Tyga's return to the mainstream music spotlight after almost 5 years of poor sales and negative reviews, being considered his "comeback" record.

Following the success of "Taste", Tyga released a number of other singles throughout the latter of 2018, beginning with "Swish", which was certified gold, and later released "Dip" featuring Nicki Minaj, which was certified platinum. He was also featured on Iggy Azalea's platinum single, "Kream" in 2018, and "Sip It" in 2021. Tyga's seventh album Legendary was released in June 2019.

In 2019, YG released the single "Go Loko", which featured Tyga. He stated, "We wanted to do something different to kinda try to bring all Latins together" and "Even YG could tell you, he grew up around all Mexicans, so we really wanted to do something to give back to the culture."

In July 2020, Tyga partnered with businessman Robert Earl to launch a virtual kitchen brand called Tyga Bites, which uses existing restaurants' kitchens to produce branded menu items such as boneless chicken wings for delivery service only.

In 2021, Tyga competed on the sixth season of The Masked Singer as "Dalmatian". He was the first of Group B to be eliminated.

Personal life

On September 6, 2010, Tyga married Jordan Craig. He filed for divorce one month later, and it was finalized in 2011.

Tyga met model Blac Chyna on October 5, 2011, at The F.A.M.E Tour After Party with Chris Brown at King of Diamonds in Miami. Blac Chyna was cast as Tyga's leading lady in his "Rack City" music video. They became engaged on November 9, 2011, and posed for the cover of Urban Ink magazine in March 2012. On October 16, 2012, their son, named King Cairo, was born, and Tyga purchased a $6.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California that same month. Both parents have tattoos of their son's name. The couple split in 2014.

After months of speculation, Tyga confirmed his relationship with reality star Kylie Jenner in August 2015. However, this relationship sparked controversy due to the age disparity, and the fact that they were reportedly dating since Jenner was 16. The legal age of consent in the state of California is 18. Photos of him and Jenner first seen holding hands in Mexico went viral a few days after her 18th birthday. The couple split in April 2017.

Tyga dated British social model Demi Rose for a short time in 2016.

On February 21, 2025, Tyga announced that his mother, Pasionaye Nicole Nguyen, had died at age 53 a month earlier on January 18.

Robbery

In June 2008, Tyga was robbed of his jewelry by unknown assailants. A pair of diamond chains would end up in the hands of local rapper 40 Glocc, who showed them off in an online video. Tyga would eventually admit to the robbery, but said 40 Glocc wasn't behind it. "Some niggas seen me and ran up on me with a little burner... I guess 40 Glocc's peoples robbed the peoples that got me, and then hopped on YouTube, talking about they robbed me."

Legal issues

In late 2012, Tyga was sued by two women who appeared in the "Make It Nasty" video for $10 million each; they claimed he had shown their nipples without their consent. They were assured that this would be edited out and the unedited version would not be released, but Tyga proceeded to release a fully unedited version. On September 21, 2013, another woman from the video sued Tyga for sexual battery, fraud, invasion of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress. She claims, like the two other women who have filed suit against him, that she was convinced to dance topless and assured her breasts would be edited out.

On September 4, 2013, it was reported Tyga had been sued by Beverly Hills-based jeweler Jason Arasheben for allegedly not paying for roughly $91,000 worth of jewelry. Arasheben claims that Tyga agreed to pay $28,275 for the jeweler's diamond pantheon watch in August 2012 and that he borrowed a $63,000 diamond Cuban link chain in December 2012 and never returned the item, so he sued Tyga for the cost of both pieces, plus late fees, which totaled up to $185,306.50 in damages, double the original total cost. Tyga fell ill before the interrogation of this debt and was considered not able to proceed. He also did not bring the documents he was supposed to, however, he paid $100,000 of the $200,000 owed to his client.

In June 2015, a judge ordered Tyga to pay an $80,000 settlement to a former landlord, who rented a home to the rapper in the city of Calabasas, California. It was the second ruling in the case, following a judgment in May 2015, in which he was ordered to pay $90,000, though the debt was never paid. In September 2015, the state of California placed a tax lien on Tyga for $19,000 in unpaid taxes. On his birthday, he was given a lawsuit in 2016.

In October 2021, Tyga was arrested by police over domestic abuse charges.
