Tyga won't shut up about dating Kylie Jenner

by Richard Howard

Rapper Tyga has recently gained some notoriety for all the wrong reasons. Late last year, the 25-year-old was rumoured to be dating Kim Kardashian’s little sister Kylie. Which would be fine and all if, you know, she hadn’t at the time just recently turned 17. Tyga denied it, saying they were just friends – and then Kanye West helpfully went on live radio and shared that the two were in love, super creepily weighing in with his opinion that Tyga “was smart” because he “got in early.”

Well, as you may have heard, Kylie decided to celebrate her 18th birthday in Montreal last month – no doubt due to Quebec’s matching drinking age. Eighteen is also the age of consent in California and you guessed it – boom, Tyga and Kylie are now officially dating.

Apparently, Tyga decided that he needed to upstage Kanye’s ill-chosen commentary on the situation – and boy did he ever. His latest single is a defiant track titled “Stimulated” in which he seems to speak about hooking up with a young girl to the consternation of others. Here’s an excerpt from the lyrics:

I’m putting in, I’m penetrating
I’m getting big, I’m stimulated
I touched the bi**h, she disintegrated
Up in flames, I’ve been the flamest
I’ve been the hottest, you’ve been the lamest
I’ve been on the plane, you’ve been complaining
F**k the co-defendant, pistol whip the plaintiff
Hit the mall, then we skip arraignment
They say she young, I should’ve waited
She a big girl, dog when she stimulated

Unsurprisingly, the tune isn’t going over too well with a lot of folks. Naturally, Tyga’s next move was to release a video where he’s making out with Kylie between shots of him thoughtfully scribbling lines such as “she a big girl, dog / I’m gonna do what the f**k I wanna do when I wanna do” in his diary.

If that piano sample sounds familiar it’s because you recognize from the Robert Miles’ trance hit “Children.” Nice, Tyga.

Reactions have ranged from “ew, gross” to more thoughtful pieces that have out and out accused the rapper of being a predator and investigate the subtexts of the song.
