Yesterday, I talked about Amber Rose’s smackdown of Tyga for dating Kylie Jenner. Amber had some words for Tyga, but she was perfectly nice to Kylie. Khloe Kardashian started a Twitter fight with Amber for daring to state the obvious — that a 25-year-old man commits statutory rape when he dates a 17-year-old girl. Khloe didn’t see it that way. She called Amber a “wh*re,” and so Amber called Kim a whore. It was a mess, and Amber got a lot of credit for “dragging” Khloe. Kim’s friend, Jonathan Cheban, tweeted some rude, misogynistic stuff about Amber.
Tyga decided to clear the air after outlets like TMZ picked up on the story. He visited Power 105.1 just like Amber did. Tyga denies dating Kylie and says they are only buddies. Do we believe him? Kylie’s been spotted with Tyga everywhere. He talked for 37 minutes, first about Kylie, but he spent more time pushing his “brand.” You know, he’s got a zillion gold records without any radio airplay. Here we go:
Are he and Kylie together? “I’m not dating Kylie, I just want to get that out the way. I want to be clear to everybody that I didn’t leave my family to be with Kylie. That’s ridiculous. Me and [Blac] Chyna, we broke up close to a year now and because of the decision we made, and things in our relationship that wasn’t going right, so we decided to split to raise an emotionally stable kid. That’s what we did and now we have a great relationship.”
They’re just friends, really: “It’s because what people make it seem and TMZ, you gotta think, TMZ didn’t really care about me until they figured out that I live next door to Kim and Kanye and all that stuff. But I been friends with them before I even met Chyna. I was friends with Scott, her family for years, so me hanging out with them was nothing new. People just want to make a story out of it. It’s crazy, the s*** that they make up is the craziest things I ever heard of.”
Black vs. white friendship “In black culture it’s different. If you hang around somebody you’re smashing them, white people, white culture, it’s different. They really friends. It’s genuine, it’s different. How we think is a little different with our mentality. For me, if I’m friends with her and I’m friends with her sister, they ho’s or we smashing them. And it’s like, we really friends.”

The rest of the conversation is about Tyga’s beef with Drake, his friendship with Nikki Minaj and a lot of “you know what I’m saying?” The problem is … I really don’t know what he’s saying. For a moment, I wondered if Tyga was telling the truth (and those rumors of gross Instagram comments were fake), but I don’t believe him. The stuff about black vs. white friendship makes it sound like he’s deflecting. Tyga says we’re only looking into his relationship with a 17-year-old girl because he’s black. And he thinks we’re dumb enough to buy that explanation.
Here’s a clip of Tyga’s Power 105.1 interview.
