2000s pop star Avril Lavigne and Tyga have ended their whirlwind romance Media Take Out has learned. And according to a source close to the couple, the two ended things because of “chemistry” issues between them.
Multiple news outlets began reporting that the two were dating on and off since February, when the “Complicated” singer and the “Rack City” rapper were spotted out over and over again on romantic dates.
But People magazine is reporting that their brief fling is now officially over. The pair was last publicly seen attending a Fourth of July party at Nobu restaurant in Malibu, California.
The two were also spotted, Media Take Out confirmed, in Las Vegas the previous weekend, as photos surfaced of the pair chatting in what appeared to be the VIP section of Encore Beach Club, where they both performed.
Tyga is a rapper. After a number of independent releases, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records in 2008. His major label debut Careless World: Rise of the Last King was released in 2011 and included the successful singles “Rack City”, “Faded” (featuring Lil Wayne), “Far Away” (featuring Chris Richardson), “Still Got It” (featuring Drake), and “Make It Nasty”. The album’s success was followed up with Hotel California (2013) and Fan of a Fan: The Album (2015), in collaboration with singer Chris Brown.
Due to disagreements with Young Money, Tyga’s next album, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty was released independently on June 23, 2015. The album, executively produced by Kanye West, became his lowest selling album to that point, selling 5,000 album equivalent units in its first week.
