Tyga, 25, loves Kylie Jenner, 17, ‘as a person’

Tyga says it’s nobody’s business what’s going on between him and rumored girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

“Whether if I tell the world that I love her or I don’t, it’s gonna be me to dictate that, and how I want to keep my friendship and relationship with her,” the 25-year-old said in an interview on 92.3 AMP Radio on Monday. “I feel like it doesn’t matter what the world thinks. If you’re around somebody, and you love being around that person, that’s all that matters. I don’t feel like what anybody could say would change that … how I feel for her as a person … She’s just a good person, she’s got great energy.”

He continued, “We’ve got a group of friends, we’ve been hanging out for the longest … I’ve been knowing her and her family for six, seven years, so it’s all love there, we’re going to continue to grow.”

When directly asked if he’s “in love” with her — which is what Kanye West revealed during Friday’s “Breakfast Club” interview — Tyga danced around the question.

“I love her as a person,” he said. “But not romantically speaking? I mean, I don’t think it really matters. If you love being around somebody, that’s all that matters, you know? Sometimes you gotta just let that artist live their own personal life sometimes, and you gotta respect that as a fan and a spectator of what we do.”

Shortly after Amber Rose claimed Tyga left his girlfriend Blac Chyna and their son for the reality-TV star, the “Rack City” rapper adamantly denied dating the youngest Jenner in a similar “Breakfast Club” interview last week.

Kylie, who recently purchased a five-bedroom house, has remained silent on dating rumors.
