Michael Ray Nguyen-stevenson

Tyga (in Russian, the pseudonym reads as Taiga) is an American rapper who quickly became famous among fans of the genre in 2008, becoming one of the brightest discoveries of the year. Since then, the musician has repeatedly appeared both in the charts and on the pages of the tabloids, often in rather scandalous materials.

Tyga's real name is Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, and the backronym of the pseudonym given by the singer on Twitter is "Thank you God always", which translates as "Thank you, Lord, forever and ever." Initially, Michael was given the nickname by his mother, who called him Tiger Woods, in association with an American golfer.

The singer was born in Compton, California on November 18, 1989. The boy's mother is from Vietnam, his father is from Jamaica. According to information posted by Tyga on March 7, 2016 on his Twitter account, the rapper's father has been serving a life sentence for 25 years.

Michael's early biography is controversial. He usually claims to have grown up in a socially disadvantaged area of ​​Compton, but on the Bustas show in 2012 he revealed that he lived with his parents in the upmarket area of ​​the San Fernando Valley. However, these words could be humorous.

At the age of 11, he moved with his mother to the city of Gardena. As a child, Tyga enthusiastically listened to rap artists - Eminem, Fabolous, Lil Wayne. The boy began to write music, participated in rapping competitions with school friends and posted his first songs in online chats.

Michael's cousin, Travis McCoy, a member of the Gym Class Heroes, began taking the young man on the band's tour. During this period Tyga was making mixtapes. McCoy, appreciating the work of his brother, showed his recordings to Pete Wentz, bass player of "Fall Out Boy". The musician, impressed by the young man's talent, became the executive producer of his first independent album, No Introduction, released in 2008.

The song "Diamond Life" was subsequently used in the game "Need for speed: Undercover" and the movie "Fight without rules". The rapper entered the big stage in 2007, then at the MTV Video Music Awards he performed a remix of "Arms Race" with McCoy, "Fall Out Boy" and Lil Wayne. The performance impressed both the audience and the artists who performed with Tyga.

The singer's second album, "Careless World: Rise of The Last King", went on sale on February 21, 2012. According to Michael, the record was supposed to show that he grew up, although he still has not outlived a child in himself. The singles from the album have repeatedly hit hundreds of hot charts.

The singer himself, meanwhile, tried himself in a new role: he acted as a producer, director and author of the soundtrack "Rack City: The XXX Movie" for a film belonging to the category of films "for adults". Tyga even played a role in the film - however, not of a sexual nature.

The third studio album "Hotel California" was released in April 2013. Despite 3 pre-released singles and guest stars, the record did not repeat the success of previous albums and received mixed reviews from critics. On April 12, 2013, the rapper took part in the Yardfest of Harvard University, although they tried to prevent his performance - critics did not like the rapper's misogynistic lyrics.

In August 2013, Tyga released a new single "Throw It Up" with DJ Mustard, announced work on two new mixtapes, and presented the song "Wait for a Minute", recorded with Justin Bieber.

The new album was announced for early 2014, but due to a conflict with the release label, the release was delayed. As a result, "The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty" was released only in June 2015 and was distributed exclusively via the Internet.

Also in 2015, the musician recorded a joint album "Fan of the Fan the Album" with Chris Brown, which was received with restraint by critics. The Los Angeles Times described the album as replete with themes of sex, drugs, expensive cars, and misogyny. The fifth full-length album "BitchImTheShit2" was released in 2017 with the participation of Kanye West.

In June 2008, the rapper was robbed. Tyga attackers himself described as "unknown niggers." Michael's jewelry was later spotted in another rapper's online video, 40 Glocc, but Tyga himself denied a colleague's direct involvement in the incident. According to his version, 40 Glocc people robbed the criminals while trying to sell jewelry.

The rapper did not avoid problems with the law. Two of them are directly related to the musician's clips. In 2012, two women who starred in the video for "Make It Nasty," sued the singer for publishing a video showing their nipples without permission. For similar reasons, another lawsuit was filed against Tyga in 2013 - this time on charges of fraud, invasion of privacy and sexual assault.

In that year, the rapper faced another trial: jeweler Jason James said that Tyga did not pay for jewelry worth about $ 91 thousand. Michael did not appear in court, explaining his absence by illness. The judge ordered the musician to pay the victim $ 200 thousand, but Tyga gave the jeweler only half of the amount. In addition, the singer was sued for non-payment of rent and taxes.

Tyga's personal life is closely watched by the tabloids, and he manages to hide little. In 2006, he met with the singer Keely Williams, in 2009 - with the American supermodel Chanel Iman.

From 2011 to 2014, the rapper was in a relationship with another fashion model and stripper, Black Tea. When the couple had a son, King Kyro Stevenson, in October 2012, Tyga bought a mansion in California for his family and got another tattoo - this time with his son's name. In total, Michael has 50 tattoos, the first of which he got at the age of 14.

The rapper's next official girlfriend was model Kylie Jenner. This romance was heavily discussed in the press, mainly due to the age difference. In addition, it was rumored that at the time of the beginning of the relationship, the girl was 16 years old, while the age of consent in California starts at 18. In April 2017, the couple broke up.

After Kylie gave birth to her daughter on February 1, 2018, rumors arose that Tyga was the real father of the child - according to fans, the girl was too dark. The rapper categorically denied this information.

On February 16, 2018, Tyga's discography was replenished with the 6th studio album "Kyoto". At the same time, a fresh single "Taste", recorded with the participation of rapper Offset, appeared. It peaked at # 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in America, becoming the first Tyga record to hit the charts in 3 years. The musician also took part in the recording of the single "Kream" by rap singer Iggy Azalea.

The rapper regularly gives concerts and tours. In May 2018, he visited Russia, performing at the Moscow club "GLAVCLUB GREEN CONCERT"

Now, in addition to his musical career, Tyga is engaged in acting - in particular, he was included in the cast of the 3rd season of the horror series "Scream".

One of the most important people in a rapper's life is his son. Photos of the boy often appear on the musician's Instagram, contrasting strongly with photos of concert performances, half-naked girls and indecent gestures performed by Tyga himself.
