Young Money’s Tyga is publicly letting fans know he is fully aware of the greatness which makes up Beatles icon Paul McCartney this week.
Paparazzi spotted Tyga donning a McCartney shirt a week after the music legend was denied entry to his post-Grammy Awards party.
The rapper was leaving his show in L.A. Friday night sporting Paul’s mug on his chest with the superstar’s name in huge letters. You’ll remember … Paul, Beck and Taylor Hawkins were denied entry to Tyga’s post-Grammy bash after it appeared the door guy had no idea rock royalty was standing right in front of him. (TMZ)
Tyga hopped onto his Twitter page last week to put a swift end to the gossip behind why McCartney was denied entry to his party.
Why would I deny @PaulMcCartney stop it. He's a legend 🙏🏾

I don't control the door. I had no knowledge SIR PAUL was there. I just performed and left.

The Young Money rap star also appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to address the situation.
“I had no knowledge. I was inside performing. I really wish I would’ve knew he was outside. I would’ve went out there with the mic, brought him in to perform ‘Rack City’ with me.” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”)
Buzz behind McCartney’s denied entry went viral last week.
It may be the moment when rap officially usurped rock as the most powerful force in music. Paul McCartney, co-founder of the Beatles and the man behind the Skype Love Moji sound effects, was reportedly denied entry to a Grammy after party hosted by the rapper Tyga. Footage of the snub was caught by paparazzi – McCartney is captured on video joking: “How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit.” (The Guardian)
