Micheal Ray Stevenson, better known by his stage name, Tyga, was born on November 19, 1989, in Compton, California, and was raised there until he was “around 11 or 12” before relocating to neighboring Gardena.
He was born in Jamaica to Jamaican parents and Vietnamese parents. His mother was born in Vietnam and goes by the surname Nguyen. He grew up listening to artists like Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Cam’ron, and Eminem, among others.
On December 3, 2012, a dispute erupted about Tyga’s background. Tyga claimed to have grown up in the low-income neighborhood of Compton, but in a leaked video from the unaired television show Bustas, he claimed to have grown up in a “well-to-do” family in the Valley, where his dad drove a Range Rover.
He also said that he got his moniker from his mother, who referred to him as Tiger Woods. It has been suggested that his remarks on the show were humorous and should not be taken seriously.
Tyga tweeted in response to the video’s leak: “When you’re 14, you don’t give a fuck about anything. Isn’t it true that we all live for scripted television? Hahahaha.”
Who is Tyga’s father, where is Stevie J. Stevenson?
Stevie J. Stevenson is an American man incarcerated at Solano State Prison, well recognized as the true father of rapper Tyga.
He has six children from six different mothers. Stevenson said that he had lost contact with most of his six children in an episode of the podcast Uncuffed, which explores tales of jailed people.
His daughter, on the other hand, was able to hunt down every one of her half-siblings and was startled to learn that Tyga was one of them.
Stevenson had no idea his son had become famous since he had spent most of Tyga’s life in jail and is presently serving a life sentence without the possibility of release.
