Tyga: I Don't Get Along With Drake or Nicki Minaj

The "Rack City" distances himself from his YMCMB labelmates, says the Canadian MC is "fake" in VIBE interview.

Tyga's fallout with his Young Money crew just got messier. The "Faded" rapper has called out his labelmate Drake for being "fake" and even revealed that he and rap queen Nicki Minaj are no longer on speaking terms.

"I'm [trying to] go independent," Tyga told VIBE. "I don't really get along with Drake."

Elaborating on his beef with the Canadian rapper, Tyga explained that Drake is simply "fake" in his eyes. "I don't like Drake as a person. He's just fake to me. I like his music, you know what I'm saying? I think his music is good, but we're all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is."

Another one of these "forced relationships" involves "Anaconda" rapper Nicki Minaj, whom he also seems to be estranged from. "I don't really get along with Nicki," he said.

"I think being signed to Young Money, everybody felt like they had to force a relationship 'cause Wayne put us together," he said. "At the end of the day, the reason why I signed to Young Money is because of Wayne. Not because of Drake, not because of Nicki."

Earlier this month, Tyga blasted his label on Twitter, accusing them of holding him hostage. He even threatened to leave Young Money if they did not give him a solid release date for his upcoming LP, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty. After his tweets, Young Money president Mack Maine fired back and Nicki Minaj unfollowed him on Twitter.
