For the better part of the last month, Tyga and 21 Savage have been trading overt and subliminal shots with each other over Kylie Jenner. Tyga and Jenner have been linked together for years, and Tyga opened himself up for criticism and by rapping, āT nasty, ābout to catch a felony for itā on the 2015 track āPleazer,ā when Jenner was still under the age of 18.
