Tyga Defends ‘$TARFACE’ After Pitchfork’s 0/10 Rating, Responds to Doja Cat Diss

Tyga has a message for everyone calling “$TARFACE” an A.I. album … learn to read.

The rapper — dressed in ’80s garb with a lit cigarette — stopped by “TMZ Live” Thursday and said he only used A.I. for some synths and guitar solos … stressing he spent three months in the studio, wrote every song, and performed every vocal himself.

Tyga blamed the confusion on Gen Z not reading his original comments … and shrugged off Pitchfork’s rare 0/10 rating … joking, “I don’t really know what Pitchfork is. All I know is the devil uses a pitchfork.”

Harvey then played Doja Cat‘s blunt review — “Tyga is a penis for making an A.I. album” — and Tyga couldn’t help but laugh.

With a big smile, he playfully fired back … “Listen, I love Doja, but she made a demonic album. But I still love her.”

Tyga says he views A.I. as another piece of evolving technology and isn’t worried about it replacing him … arguing his 15-year track record proves he’s better than anything a machine can create.

He hasn’t decided whether he’ll use A.I. again, calling “$TARFACE” an experiment … though he acknowledges the controversy delivered plenty of publicity.
