Tyga has given his side of the story following reports the rapper has failed to pay two months of rent on his Calabasas home.
The 25-year-old musician claims that he has has actually bought the house, and isn't renting, amid reports he is being sued by his landlord for failing to pay the $25k a month fee for the California mansion.
Tyga reportedly started the purchase of the house, which he shared with former partner Blac Chyna and their son King Cairo, a year ago, according toTMZ.

The new report states that Tyga put a down payment of $200,000 on the Calabasas house 12 months ago, with the landlord allegedly telling him he could move in during escrow, without paying the $25k a month rent on the property.According to the rapper, the escrow was due to close months ago but the seller of the property didn't provide Tyga's bank with all the necessary information that would allow the loan to be processed, leading to a lengthy delay.
There was thought to be no written agreement in place between Tyga and his landlord though regarding the payment of rent during the escrow period.

The star's lawyer, Lee Hutton has told TMZ, 'We evidently live in a world where a man's word is no longer your bond.'
According to a previous report by TMZ, if the Rack City hitmaker does not pay money by July 1, the landlord will go for eviction and charge $833.33 a day in rent. As Blac Chyna – the mother of Tyga’s two-year-old son King Cairo - also lived in the house with the rapper, she is also named as a defendant.
The new case case comes just one month after Tyga’s issues with his $6.5M, seven-bedroom mansion also in the Calabasas area.
According to TMZ, the 25-year-old rapper technically owed $124K but he reached a smaller settlement with the owner.

The judge gave the Grammy nominee - born Michael Nguyen-Stevenson - a 'stern warning' to meet the deadline or else pay the full $124K.
His crib boasted 9K square feet, a basketball court, a private movie theater, a spa, and a waterfall-laden swimming pool.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian has defended Tyga’ relationship with her 17-year-old half-sister Kylie Jenner.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star doesn't think it is fair that her younger half-sister, 17-year-old Kylie Jenner, has been criticised for dating 25-year-old musician Tyga because the teenager's life is so different to that of most people her age.

Asked if she thinks the criticisms of the couple are fair, she told Complex: 'I think at 16 I was probably f***ing someone that was in their 20s, for sure. I wouldn't say I was even dating, probably just sleeping with them.
'But again Kylie is not a normal 17 year old. You're not gonna say, 'Hey, so what are you doing this weekend?' and have her say, 'Having a slumber party at my girlfriend's,' or 'Going to prom.'
'That's not what Kylie does. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she's going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting.
'That's not even what people do in their 30s. It's a rare circumstance, so let's treat this as a special case.'
