\u201cListen, I love Doja, but she made a demonic album,\u201d Tyga said, referring to Doja Cat\u2019s recent work. He then added that he still loves her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exchange follows Tyga\u2019s earlier explanation of how artificial intelligence was used in the production of $tarface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with VIBE<\/em>, the rapper acknowledged using AI as a creative tool, particularly for sounds inspired by the 1980s. He explained that the technology helped with elements such as synthesizers and guitar sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tyga has stressed that the use of AI did not mean that a machine created the entire album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During his TMZ Live<\/em> appearance, he said he wrote the songs and performed the vocals himself, while AI was used in parts of the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rapper has defended the approach by comparing the current debate over AI with the criticism that surrounded Auto-Tune when it became widely used in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Tyga, new technology can become another tool for artists when it is used creatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n $tarface also represents a major change in Tyga\u2019s musical direction. The project introduces $TARFACE as a separate artistic identity and moves away from the sound associated with much of his earlier career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tyga previously told PEOPLE that after more than 15 years in the music industry, he wanted to experiment and avoid placing himself in a creative box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He described $TARFACE as a completely different artist and aesthetic from his previous work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The controversy has also brought renewed attention to the wider debate over artificial intelligence in music, as artists continue to disagree about how the technology should be used in the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doja Cat and Tyga are not strangers to collaboration. The pair previously worked together on the 2019 remix of Doja Cat\u2019s \u201cJuicy\u201d and reunited for \u201cFreaky Deaky\u201d in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite their latest disagreement, Tyga\u2019s response suggested that he did not view Doja Cat\u2019s criticism as a serious personal conflict, maintaining that he still has affection for the fellow artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PEOPLE reported that representatives for both artists had been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n American rapper Tyga has responded after fellow rapper Doja Cat criticized his use of artificial intelligence in the making of his new album, $tarface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":139,"featured_media":2000122438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"byline":[201],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-2000122437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","byline-rania-umutoni"],"bylines":[{"id":201,"name":"Rania Umutoni","slug":"rania-umutoni","description":"","image":{"id":2000122457,"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-08-14-at-12.00.00-PM.jpeg","title":"WhatsApp Image 2026-08-14 at 12.00.00 PM","mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},"user_id":139}],"contributors":[{"id":201,"name":"Rania Umutoni","slug":"rania-umutoni","description":"","image":{"id":2000122457,"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-08-14-at-12.00.00-PM.jpeg","title":"WhatsApp Image 2026-08-14 at 12.00.00 PM","mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},"user_id":139}],"featured_image":{"id":2000122438,"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","alt":"","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/webp","width":750,"height":500,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","width":750,"height":500},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","width":750,"height":500},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","width":750,"height":500},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","width":750,"height":500},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp","width":750,"height":500}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000122437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2000122437"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000122437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2000122462,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000122437\/revisions\/2000122462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000122438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2000122437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2000122437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2000122437"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=2000122437"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=2000122437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/08\/Tyga-and-Doja-Cat379-08132026-baed2eed30bb4d96b507e45f6dcb4368.webp\")
