After explaining Young Money’s Drake was always on the track, Nicki hinted at Tyga possibly being the one who leaked a version with him on it.

“We don’t know how, but it magically ended up in Tyga’s hands. I told him, I was like, ‘You know that’s my song.’ … Low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out and I thought that was a little bit disrespectful ’cause I had always shown him love. I had always done stuff with him, took him on tour with me, and I thought it was disrespectful ’cause I am the queen of Young Money.” (BBC 1 Radio)

Nicki also claimed Tyga reached out to him with an apology.

“He said, ‘You always were there for me.’ And I respected him for saying that because one thing about me, I’m a very forgiving person. But as long as you can come to your senses after the fact and remember who looks out for you and who was there and who supports you, then it’s all good. He’s entitled to make a mistake every now and then, and we handled it as such.” (BBC 1 Radio)

Tyga recently revealed his issue with Nicki stemmed from “Truffle Butter.”

“Me and Nicki [Minaj] got into it over something stupid, it was over a song. But that’s what brothers and sisters do, they fight. I don’t have anything against Nicki. I f*ck with her 100 percent. It was a song that Drake was on. It was actually ‘Truffle Butter.’ I was on the record. I don’t know, it just got weird. It wasn’t real to me. I feel like that was Drake’s song. That’s just how I felt.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Last fall, Tyga publicly singled Drake and Nicki out in a Vibe interview.

“Yeah, I’m tryna’ go independent. I don’t really get along with Drake. I don’t really get along with Nicki,” Tyga said in his interview. “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. But I been friends with Chris [Brown] for like six years. That’s my real genuine friend. We hang out all the time. He lives up the street from me, so we don’t just do music we hang.” (VIBE)

  1. they are just like any other family, they have there ups and downs over there, i’m not taking any of this seriously they will work it out.

  2. that’s my song.’ … Low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out and I thought that was a little bit disrespectful ’cause I had always shown him love.

    So in other words, Tyga acting like the spoiled bitch that he is like always while people co-signing him because they hate his more successful labelmates. Btw, this isn’t the first thime he did some shit like this. Parlay Starr called him out for some similar shit about 3 or 4 years ago when he stole a track that dude had got down with CB on and put it out himself because he was more well known. So pedophile, check. A beat stealer, check. A certified cornball, check. Anything else?
