Additionally, Tyga has collaborated with renowned artists such as Drake, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Post Malone, Nicki Minaj', Eminem, and more.
Tyga's hit single "Taste," featuring fellow American rapper Offset from Migos, was released in May 2018 and made it to eighth place on the Billboard 100 chart. Among his other hits are also such songs as "Hookah", "Swish", and "Dip".
As for his collaborations, Tyga was featured on tracks with Lil Wayne in Chris Brown's song "Loyal," as well as "Loco Contigo" with DJ Snake and J Balvin.
Aside from his musical career, Tyga gained notoriety thanks to his three year relationship with Kylie Jenner.
The two met in 2011 at her sister Kendall's birthday party, yet rumors of them dating only surfaced in 2014 when Kylie was 17 and Tyga 24. The split of "Kyga" was confirmed in April 2017, yet the rapper was left with a tattoo reading "Kylie" on his right forearm.
