The inter-fighting at Young Money has been well-known publicly for some time and came to a head late last week when Lil Wayne tweeted his own frustration with the label via Twitter.
Someone whose dissatisfaction has been known for even longer, Tyga, alongside Chris Brown, recently sat down with Power 106 in Los Angeles and detailed why he has been frustrated. Tyga says he’s lost creative control at the label and the fans are suffering as a result.
“The album is done so like I’m going to put it out independently, I’m just getting out [of] my deal right now,” Tyga said when asked about his label situation. “I feel like as an artist what we do creatively should never be imprisoned and at the end of the day we do it to bring it to the fans. It’s not a selfish thing it’s just not fair to the fans. You’ve got millions of people who want your music and they don’t understand the behind the scenes politics.”
Tyga also noted that he’ll be putting out the album independently and that he has been paying to create his own output by himself.
“I’m dropping regardless. I’m paying for my own videos and everything so I ain’t waiting on nobody,” he said. “Everything come to the light so you got to treat people the way you want to be treated at the end of the day.”
Tyga and Chris Brown are about to embark on their forthcoming “Between The Sheets” tour. The two recently performed at Power 106′s Cali Christmas concert together.

” millions of people who want your music and they don’t understand the behind the scenes politics.”… nicca your last album couldnt move 200k
I’m not a Tyga fan so I get that you’re throwing shade, but don’t be delusional and think that album sales equates people listening to your music. People just don’t buy albums anymore but it doesn’t mean they don’t listen. With bootlegging, Spotify, the radio, tours, etc. there are other ways to consume music
fair enough but niggas that can’t sell 200k in a year don’t belong on major labels. he should have went indie 2 albums ago.
Well sometimes we gotta sacrifice the needs of a few people to satisfy all of mankind.
How many more disloyal niggas are going to come out? Tyga and Wayne are greedy backstabbing fucks who have pissed on their loyal fanbase. Their careers will be over soon while cash money stay winning.
To HipHopDX: Your site is glitchy as hell. The comments don’t show up on mobile, half the time comments don’t post, your “most popular news” sections has articles dating back to 2011, half the comments are people promoting pyramid schemes and selling drugs, can’t close the ads on mobile sites and other issues. When is an update coming or yal just give up?
this right here
HA you think DX gives a fuck about the readers? why do you think so many people switched to other hip hops news sites…
we need DISQUS
How rap still allows shit like “between the sheets” hosted by two dudes fly on by without question is beyond crazy. Baby kissed Wayne, kaushin exists, young thug is…a thing, one word: jeggins, Jaceyon’s face tats. Niggaz love fuckery. Rap has become the uncle that gets drunk at parties and wears shaws, rings, necklaces, and uses tongue movements while karoking old 80’s Metallica because “that’s metal as fuck!” And then the next day swears up and down that he’s not gay.
tyga and wayne complain now about loyalty but they enjoyed being on their knees for the last 4 years to Birdman..lol
Lil Wayne complaining about the same thing with his album and Cash Money….. coincidence?
