He’s an American rapper signed to Lil Wayne’s record label, Young Money, where he makes millions alongside actual famous people like Drake and Nicki Minaj. You probably don’t know who he is, and you definitely won’t care after you hear how much he hates “gay ass shit.”
TMZ found Tyga outside Hollywood’s Supperclub this week, where a photographer probed him about the two $10 million lawsuits he’s facing for allegedly showing nipples in his new music video [insert loud sigh here].
The rapper’s initial response was, “Look at my car. Do I look like I care about a lawsuit, bruh??”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Then, from behind the wheel of his slick car, he unleashed a homophobic rant about the “gay ass” camera in his face, “some bitches” in the club, and the photographer’s “gay ass job.”
via TMZ:
Then, he unleashed the insults on our photog — “What you got a camera for? That’s gay as s**t.”
He continued, “You got a CAMERA on a n**ga … go in [the club] and get some bitches.”
When our guy explained that he was doing his job, Tyga shot back — “That’s a gay ass job.”
Russia, eat your heart out!

Now we’re talking about this nobody. Giving him the jump start on his 15 minutes. In this case, we probably should have ignored this little sh*t and left him in the dark.
B Damion
Oh well..femm-guys get the same kinda treatment within the gay community. No big deal right guys. And, I am sure people will come at my head for that comment. But, it is the truth, so help me god.

@Meowzer: ugh…this is an article on queerty…don’t worry he is still an unknown in the dark

And blacks wonder why there is still racism. This is why and in this case would be perfectly warranted. They make millions for talking trash.
CXXX1
Mike, if you cannot separate one asshole from and entire ethnic group then YOU are the one with the probably. It’s not my being AF-AM. Oh, BTW, we do not wonder why there is still racism, we know it’s because of Asshats like yourself. Also, don’t hate because you cannot make millions taking trash.
Seems like all the shit coming from you is trash and your white right? I’ll go now and let you connect the dots.
KiraNerysRules
So, Black people shouldn’t wonder why racism exists because rappers no one has ever of and are in a severe numerical minority within the Black community are stupid?
Kevin
Hold on a second. Tyga is saying gay in the slang way, which is still wrong, but he clearly was not saying it in a homophobic way or in any way as an attack on gay people.
Tyga has released singles with Scissor Sister’s Jake Shears in the past, he is not anti-gay.
jeff4justice
As part of Lil’ Waynes gay posse, I think by “gay ass sh*t” he means messy bottom and no one likes those.
And by gay ass job he’s talking about licking ass.
No hetero.
Kevin
@Kevin: My bad, Tiga released music with Jake Shears not Tyga. The first part of my comment still applies =)
Mr. E. Jones
Where are all the commentators to tell us how bigoted gay-white-men are, and how victimized black people are?
Boytoy
I’m sure he’s in the closet like the rest of them.
DrJay
@Mike: Are you serious? That’s like saying, “And gays wonder why there is still homophobia.” There are ignorant individuals in every group of people; you’ve proven that. But that doesn’t mean that the whole group of people should be judged for the actions of those few individuals.
B Damion
@· Mr. E. Jones ..I am right here bitch!..
here goes..gay-white men are bigots and black people are victimized. How is that?
B Damion
@ B Damion….LMAO..i’m just teasing.
Alfredo
Send him back to Georgia. His skin is damaged. Not worth two cents.
KEVINVENTION
Meh. This clown protests too much. He’s prolly one of those down-low bruthas, who, underneath all that pretend-Ghetto-fabulousness and pimp bravado, is aching for a big, gay-as-F*ck muscle daddy to smack his silly punk ass and put him on his knees where he knows he belongs. His type’s all-too common. NEXT… 🙁
DarthKitsune
Yeah, He’s an authority of some Gay Ass Shit. Tyga, Please.
Polaro
What a piece of work. Everything that is wrong with music and social values rolled into one.
balehead
He’s not anti-gay…it’s the street slang version……grow lives already!….
balehead
“gay ass” is street for asshole by the way….what quivering virgins you must all be…..
james_in_cambridge
Whenever the rumors about gay rappers start, Tyga’s name is always at the top of the list. So the little b**ch is probably trying to cover up the fact he enjoys d*ck. Young Money, from Lil’ Wayne on down, are all a bunch of undercover homos…
Armando5908
His face looks like Shit

the lamb has gum disease to be sure. clean up your mouth and the gums will follow
iBLOW
Who cares about Tyga he has 1 “hit” and got a stripper pregnant and wifed her he’s irrelevant to me because everything about him is a act like how he said he’s from the hood but it was exposed that he’s from a rich family in Beverly Hills and his parents drove Range Rovers.
Eduardo
Seriously? This is such a non story its absolutely ridiculous that it’s bordering on race baiting. It wasn’t even used in a homophobic way. This is what we waste energy on now?? Are gays now so extra sensitive and pearl clutching reactionary that we’re becoming the gay version on One Million Moms??
demetreus
Queerty’s attempt at race-baiting again.
FAIL.
KEVINVENTION
@demetreus: That’s ridiculous. Dude’s an asshole regardless of his color… 🙁
demetreus
@KEVINVENTION: I completely agree with you 🙂 I was just pointing out that the only reason Queerty posts stories like these is to race bait. I don’t even know this Tyga..but I am pretty sure that he wasn’t referring to gay people.
I think Queerty should just stick to their “Sexy, underwear-clad young white boy” stories and stop trying to stir the pot.
Polaro
@balehead: LOL. Thanks for cluing us in, gay ass MF. That street for bro. Making excuses for this crap is a mistake, like you post.

@Kevin:
I agree, people tend to use the word “gay” in different context. Instead of saying this is corny or cheesy, they will say this is so gay. Tyga needs to be aware that the gay community would take offense to that, but I know he’s not using it in a homophobic way.
that_dude247
@demetreus: yep
that_dude247
@Eduardo: 100% correct!!
Dakotahgeo
Whether he is poor or rich, he is an unintelligent walking freak show who is a disgrace to his race. That being said, it doesn’t say much for the people who follow him or pay for his trashy merchandise! I’d rather be poor and clean!
fredo777
I’m not sure which article some of the folks commenting read, but he is absolutely using “gay” in a homophobic way. Look at it in context. He’s harping on the fact the male photographer is taking pictures of a (n word, which in this context means “dude” or “male”). Instead, the photographer should go in the club + get some women (because that’s the “hetero” thing to do). When told the photog is just doing his job, he says it’s a gay job, because it requires this guy to take pictures of other men, presumably. Any way you slice it, this dude is an asshole.
@Mike: “And blacks wonder why there is still racism. This is why and in this case would be perfectly warranted”
No, this isn’t why there is racism + his homophobia does just not justify or warrant racism. That is complete bullshit to even make such an argument.
HernanMinogue
I just lost all my respect for him. I will no longer support him or his music. He lost a fan here, yes believe it or not I was a fan.
LaKeishaGutierrezArafat
This coming from some douche that looks and acts like every other rappet. Rapping = no originality. Besides he’s probably the biggest nelly out there

just as Rebecca responded I’m surprised that any body can earn $8431 in four weeks on the computer. did you see this website >>> http://www.work35.com.
Pucifer
What is up with all these comments that claim the term “gay ass shit” is NOT homophobic?
Of course it is homophobic.
It’s using the word gay as a synonym for lame or stupid or effeminate or ridiculous.
When you use the word “gay” negatively as a pejorative, it is homophobic. No matter who is saying it, black or white, rich or poor.
Seriously, you would think people who read and post on Queerty would understand that. But I guess this website is overrun by anti-gay bigots just like any other website.
Becky Sharp
What? Unless you’re into scat, you probably don’t like gay ass shit either.
Pucifer
@Becky Sharp:
“What? Unless you’re into scat, you probably don’t like gay ass shit either.”
Noticed you didn’t say “straight ass shit.” Nor did the anti-gay rapper.
Like I already said, this place is crawling with anti-gay bigots.
