Tyga is firing back at the critics who claim his new project “$TARFACE” is an A.I.-generated album—and he’s making one thing crystal clear: read the fine print.
The rapper showed up on “TMZ Live” looking straight out of the ’80s, cigarette in hand, and set the record straight. He explained that A. I.
was only used for a few synths and guitar solos, while he spent three months in the studio writing every song and performing every vocal himself.
When it comes to the confusion, Tyga blames Gen Z for not reading his original statements. And as for Pitchfork giving his album a rare 0/10 rating? He brushed it off with a smirk, saying he doesn’t really know what Pitchfork is, joking that the devil uses a pitchfork.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Harvey brought up Doja Cat’s blunt diss, where she called Tyga a “penis for making an A. I. album.”
Instead of getting defensive, Tyga lit up with a laugh and playfully responded, “I love Doja, but she made a demonic album. I still love her.”
Tyga views A. I. as just another piece of evolving technology, and he isn’t sweating the idea of it replacing him.
With a 15-year career under his belt, he argues his work speaks for itself—better than anything a machine can produce.
He hasn’t decided if he’ll use A. I. again, calling “$TARFACE” an experiment.
But he admits the controversy has given the album plenty of buzz.
What do you think—did Tyga handle the backlash the right way, or is this just the beginning of a bigger feud?
