Tyga is getting ripped to shreds for his latest album which uses AI. Doja Cat called him a penis. Pitchfork gave him a 0/10. Fans have clowned him for selling less than 2,000 copies.
Through it all, Tyga has finally decided to respond. In an interview with TMZ, he pushed back on the criticism.
“I don’t really know what Pitchfork is. All I know is the devil uses a pitchfork,” he said when asked about the review. “What the context is, unfortunately for Gen Z, they can’t read. So, nobody reads. What I said was, I used A.I.-assisted things in the production. I said all the vocals are me, I wrote all the songs… “But I didn’t make a full A.I. album. That’s not what I did. I was in the studio for months working on this. I indeed wrote the songs, and those are my vocals. We used some A.I. sounds in the production, but we still created everything.”
Writer Drew Millard tore it to shreds, calling it “a piece of s***.”
“$TARFACE is smug and complacent, an amalgam of ’80s synth-pop and disco slapped together by someone who’s seemingly never cared to listen to one synth-pop or disco record in his life,” Millard wrote. “The rapper’s slop-pop concept album is smug and complacent and depressing. Its very existence has made the world a worse place.”

Tyga Responds To Doja Cat
In the same interview, he also replied to Doja Cat’s claim of him being a penis.
“Listen, I love Doja, but she made a demonic album, but I still love her,” Tyga said.
The two have collaborated before but any chance of a reunion may be out the window.
