Kylie Jenner and Tyga dated for nearly three years and their rollercoaster relationship was well-documented in the news and on social media. They broke up for good in early 2017 and a short time later, she started dating rapper Travis Scott and disappeared from the face of social media, sparking pregnancy rumors.
Well, considering Tyga had such a whirlwind relationship with Kylie, there's no way he could have NO feelings about Kylie's surprise pregnancy. Here's everything Kylie's ex has said about her since she became pregnant.
1. He Should get credit for all of Kylie's success.
Yup, on Nicki Minaj's Queen Radio Tyga actually said he's the reason why Kylie is the queen that she is. Please, Tyga. Here's what he said on the topic:
"You’ve got to look at the before and after. She always had a platform, and she was always destined to be what she was going to be regardless, but, when I stepped in, there was a lot of codes being taught. It was like, you could do this, you should start this, you should start doing your hair like this…you should add that because you need black people to f*ck with you ‘cause you need culture. If you ain’t got black people behind you, you ain’t got nothing. Ain’t nobody going to listen. You can’t influence nobody. So I had a lot to do with all that, you know what I’m saying? Which I don’t need credit for. I don't need to go online and tell people I did this and I'm the one who helped her coming up with these colors and names on her...lip line [Kylie Lip Kits]. It was a lot of stuff, but it’s like I’m not that bitter type of person because God is going to pay me back. The universe is going to pay me back."
Despite the fact that Tyga doesn't "need to go online and tell people" he deserves credit, that's literally exactly what he just did on the radio...
Tyga isn't bitter though. "If we break up, we break up," he said. "We had a good time and kept moving, and we went our separate ways and we're both doing good."
He also made it clear that he doesn't miss Kylie, saying, ""Nah, I'm good," he said. "I'm good, love, enjoy."
2. He's not in love with Kylie anymore.
Based on the timeline of Kylie's pregnancy, she probably conceived little Stormi around May of 2017, which means she would have been about three months pregnant when Tyga talked with The Breakfast Club in July.
In the interview, Tyga revealed he was no longer in love with Kylie.
“I have love for her but I'm not in love with her no more,” the rapper shared according to Us Weekly.
Apparently, Kylie and Tyga didn't start realizing the kinks in their relationship until a year into it. “That's the honeymoon stage, you get with anybody, like, for the first year, it's magic," Tyga explained. "And after that, like, you start, like, realizing a bunch of s***.”
According to Tyga, Kylie's young age and preoccupation with her image put a strain on their relationship. “I think the main thing was a lot of people — a lot of outside influences — and … she's younger than me and she's dealing with perception. I'm older so I can deal with perception,” Tyga said. “But for her, growing up how she grew up, image and perception was everything."
3. Is the baby his, or nah?
When rumors started to swirl in September that Kylie's absence on social media was because she was keeping her pregnancy secret, Tyga took to Instagram with a somewhat confusing statement about the rumors.
Over a screenshot of a TMZ news story announcing Kylie's rumored pregnancy, Tyga wrote the caption, "Hell nah thats my kid."
Some people who saw the post thought for sure it meant that Tyga was claiming he was the father of Kylie's baby, not her new boo Travis Scott. But others insisted it was actually Tyga shutting down rumors that he was the father.
4. He doesn't regret dating Kylie.
Despite some folks in the hip hop industry believing Tyga's highly-publicized relationship with Kylie harmed his rapping career and reputation in general, Tyga doesn't regret dating Kylie. He even says their relationship served as inspiration for his new album, Kyoto.
“I wouldn’t have made this album, though," he said when asked by Complex if he regrets the relationship and all that came with it. "I needed God to test me. I needed to be put through fire to know what it's like... Being through that, I learned a lot and I was able to really sit back and analyze where I want to be in 5 to 10 years, you know what I'm saying? Because, like, I put my heart on the table in front of the world."
5. He is still in contact with Kylie.
You know that Complex interview we mentioned above? Yeah, they grilled Tyga pretty hard.
"You still communicating [with Kylie]?" one interviewer asked, to which Tyga responded: "We communicate here and there."
6. He probably won't be meeting Stormi anytime soon.
When the interviewer went one step further, asking Tyga if he intends to meet Kylie's new baby with Travis Scott, Stormi Webster, he accused the interviewer of trolling.
"This guy's a troll, homie," Tyga said. "Yo, ask me another question."
7. He's cool with Travis Scott.
There are no hard feelings between Tyga and Travis Scott. When asked by Complex if he likes Travis, Tyga had a simple, non-dramatic answer: "He's cool."
8. He may have cheated on Kylie.
Tyga's new song "King of the Jungle" off of his album Kyoto appears to allude to his relationship with Kylie. If the song is about Kylie, which it probably is considering Tyga said the album was influenced by their relationship, Tyga seems to admit in the lyrics that he cheated on the makeup mogul. Check out the lyrics below:
“I been unfaithful, you were an angel / I ran off with your halo, yeah, I made you unstable / Did you get what you came for? Yeah, I got what I came for / You love that designer but being my girl was your favorite label, yeah / I been caught and now the case closed, I don’t know / Yeah, I been caught and now the case closed, don’t know / I’ma tell it all, let the cassette go, oh, no /You want me to say that it ain’t so, but I can’t say it ain’t, so you know.”
9. He's NOT Stormi's father.
Tyga didn't name any names, but his recent subtweet insisting that he's never "said anything about someone else’s child" seems to send a pretty clear message.
He's shutting down any last rumors that he was trying to claim he was Kylie Jenner's baby's father back in September.
"I’ve never said anything about someone else’s child or family insinuating my involvement; and will never do so," the rapper wrote on Twitter. "Please, Stop spreading false stories and attacking people’s families. I have nothing to do with any of that. People should be able to live in peace."
Guess that settles that!
