Los Angeles, Feb 18 (IANS): Rapper Tyga has denied reports that he is dating reality TV star Kylie Jenner.

After actress Amber Rose slammed him for dating a 17-year-old girl, Tyga declined the relationship rumours while appearing on a radio station Tuesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

“I'm not dating Kylie, I just want to get that out of the way. I want to be clear to everybody that I didn't leave my family to be with Kylie. That's ridiculous,” he said.

“Me and Chyna (girlfriend Blac Chyna), we broke up almost close to a year now, because of the decision we made, and things in our relationship that wasn't going right, so we decided to split to raise an emotionally stable kid.

“That's what we did and now we have a great relationship. I just want to be clear about that. I don't leave anybody to be with anybody,” he added.

His comments came one day after Rose and and Kylie's step sister Khloe Kardashian feuded on Twitter.

Tyga then went on to explain his relationship with the Kardashian family.

“...I've been friends with them before I even met Chyna. I was friends with Scott (Disick), her family for years, so me hanging out with them was nothing new. People just want to make a story out of it," he added.
