Tyga, 25, On His Relationship With 17-Year-Old Kylie Jenner: 'I Love Her... It Doesn't Matter What The World Thinks'

Tyga appeared on the 92.3 Amp Radio show with his Fan Of A Fan album collaborator Chris Brown in New York City where he continued to skirt around the speculations he and the 17-year-old reality star are dating.

The father-of-one, who was previously engaged to Kim Kardashian's BFF Blac Chyna, revealed he 'loves [Kylie Jenner] as a person' and insists it 'doesn't matter what the world thinks' so long as the pair are happy.

'Whether if I tell the world that I love her or I don't, it's gonna be me to dictate that, and how I want to keep my friendship and relationship with her,' he said.

'I feel like it doesn't matter what the world thinks. If you're around somebody, and you love being around that person, that's all that matters. I don't feel like what anybody could say would change that... how I feel for her as a person... She's just a good person, she's got great energy.'

Though the rapper has refused to confirm their romance directly, he admitted his 'love' for her will 'continue to grow.'

About his longtime friendship with the Kardashian-Jenner family: 'We've got a group of friends, we've been hanging out for the longest... I've been knowing her and her family for six, seven years, so it's all love there.'

And Tyga doesn't believe the nature of their relationship should concern his fans.

Asked if he is in love with Kylie, he said: 'I love her as a person.

'If you love being around somebody, that's all that matters, you know?' he said. 'Sometimes you gotta just let that artist live their own personal life sometimes, and you gotta respect that as a fan and a spectator of what we do.'

And Kanye West added fuel to the fire by seemingly confirming that Tyga and Kylie are indeed an item.

Kanye - who is executive producing Tyga's next album - said the Bubble Butt artist is in love with his sister-in-law when he visited The Breakfast Club radio show on Power 105.1 on February 20.

'I think he got in early. I think he was smart,' said the 21-time Grammy winner. The radio show's site claimed that just before that line West had actually said Tyga was 'in love.'

Back in October, Tyga denied the dating rumours stating: 'Nah. See the thing about Kylie... Everybody's cool. People wanna take the situation [with Kylie] to the next level.'

On Tuesday, TMZ revealed that Kylie recently purchased a $2.7m house in Calabasas, California as she awaits her 18th birthday and prepares to live separately from mother Kris Jenner.

'She is settling for a suburban, family neighborhood which is a block from older sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian,' according to the gossip site.

Kylie's sibling Kendall - who was rumoured to have dated Chris Brown - also moved out of the family home upon becoming a legal adult.
