The Kardashian-West-Rose-Blac Chyna drama has been making headlines the past several days but rapper Tyga is steering clear of the drama and getting busy in a dope new spread for Dujour magazine.
Donning platinum blonde hair and various styles from Givenchy and Saint Laurent, the rapper poses alongside mannequin’s in the shoot that reportedly took place from his actual residence.
Get into the dope snaps and excerpts below.
ON KANYE WEST: “You learn something by just having a conversation with him. And he listens, and that’s the thing I do. I listen to everybody and then I take it and put my own thought on it. That’s just how life is. God puts us in places. It’s for you to make the decision whether you go left or right.”
ON PRIVACY: “I only like people to know what I want them to know. People didn’t know what Tupac was doing. That’s why he was so iconic. Before [the Internet], it was real superstars. I don’t engage with people that much. You can’t base your life off waking up every morning like, ‘What are people saying about me now?’ Then I’d never stay in my creative headspace. I just want to put all my answers in the music.”
ON OBTAINING SUCCESS: “I’ve been this person for so long now—half my life. I had faith that music would be able to take me somewhere. I didn’t know where. I just was like, ‘Keep having faith, and any doors that open, I’ll walk through them and see what happens from there.’”
ON CREATIVITY: “I only have so much creative energy. I have to decide what to devote it to. You should try to master one thing first, instead of juggling.”
ON HIS HUSTLE: “You gotta hustle, whatever you do. Everything takes time. We’re all human, so things are always going to get to you. If we were robots it’d be easy to shut it off, you know what I mean? When you got faith in something, you just gotta go with it.”
