Journalist Daniel Barna interviewed the 26-year-old at L.A.’s Milk Studios.  In the interview, Tyga spoke about how being famous is a gift and curse, honing his Hip-Hop skills at the young age of 12, making music that can’t be duplicated, fashion, his Last Kings clothing line and more.

Tyga speaks on how being famous is a gift and curse:

“It’s a gift and a curse,” Tyga says. “You can never really get used to people chasing you all day, but whether you’re an actor, a rapper, or an athlete, that’s the life you chose,” he adds. “You sacrifice your freedom.”

On honing his Hip-Hop skills at the young age of 12 and making music in his bedroom:

“I recorded all my songs in my room, made beats on my own laptop, and I just did freestyles and never really played it for anybody but me and my friends,” he recalls. “Every day coming home from school it was all I wanted to do. I wasn’t doing homework, or going to the park to play basketball, or riding my bike. I just wanted to record.”

He remembers sleeping in cars and handing out mixtapes in shopping malls and high school dances to whoever would listen. “I just really had faith,” he says. “I didn’t think about having number one songs, I didn’t know how I was going to get there or who I was going to meet on this journey, I just knew I wanted to make music.”
