Rapper Tyga Declares 'Emptiness In My Heart' Amid Mourning Mom's Death

Tyga has paid his late mother a touching tribute over a month after her death. The rapper finally revealed he lost his jewel last month, and the tributes that followed his announcement made the news even sadder.

Tyga's mom, Pasionaye Nguyen, welcomed him when she was only 18, and they have shared a close bond ever since, including tattooing her name on his neck.

The songwriter celebrated the life of his mom with a carousel of pictures and videos of their fun times together and one slide of their hands intertwined on what looked like her hospital bed.

"l been trying to understand and process why God takes the most meaningful and most beautifulest people away from us. But I know I'll never get an answer that will fill the emptiness in my heart," Tyga began in his caption.

He stressed his inability to imagine life without his mother by his side, describing her as "the best and most supportive person" who always made him feel better during bad times.

"I would trade anything just to be able to be with you again. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. and I can't wait for the day until we're together again I'll see you soon and save me a spot right next to you in paradise," Tyga added.

He rounded up the post reiterating his love to the late Nguyen and promising to do his best to always celebrate her with every moment he has left. "Pasionaye Nicole Nguyen 9/11/71 - 1/18/25 You took one of your best angels back, GOD. I hope you know that," the rapper declared.

The post has gathered over 400k likes and 15k comments from friends, fans, and colleagues of Tyga who wished him well amid his loss. Singer Jhene Aiko sent "so much love" to the star, followed by her partner Big Sean, who dropped a virtual hug emoji.

Maluma also showed support with a red heart emoji, as rapper 2 Chainzwho has collaborated with Tyga on tracks in the pastcommented, "My condolences." Fat Joe dropped praying hands emojis, and producer Murda Beatz followed suit.

"May GOD's love and peace be with you always. Holding you and your loved ones in prayer," this fan wrote in the comment section. It is safe to say Tyga and his late mom are well-loved and adored with the torrential downpours of goodwill under the post.

Born on November 19, 1989, Tyga, whose real name is Michael Ray Stevenson, was born following a relationship between his father, Stevie J. Stevenson, and his late Vietnamese mom.

According to Celeb Family, the relationship began when Nguyen was just 16, but she decided to break up with Tyga's dad following cases of him being abusive towards her.

Tyga's upbringing was significantly shaped by his mother's determination to raise him alone, as his father is serving a life sentence in prison and remains estranged from him.

On the rapper's 25th birthday, his father, Stevie, expressed his regrets about being absent from his life in a letter, which Tyga chose to share on Twitter. This theme of growing up without a father is also reflected in Tyga's music, particularly in his single "Dad's Letter."

Tyga and his mother were inseparable. A proof of that is her tattoo on his neck and a voicemail from her on his "Black Crowns" song.

On how he earned his famous stage name, the rapper shared that his mother named him in honor of Woods, but he put a twist on the "Tiger" and went with "Tyga," which became a household name after his big break.

The lyricist began his journey to music fame in 2008 with the release of his debut album, "No Introduction." He rose to prominence in 2012 with the release of his platinum-certified album, "Careless World: Rise of the Last King."

Since then, he has recorded five more albums and collaborated with several notable artists, including Lil Wayne, Drake, and Chris Brown.

Though recognized as the only child of his parents, the artist's dad mentioned that he had six children with six different women. This means Tyga has 5 paternal half-siblings. He is reportedly also not in contact with them.

The rapper may not be talking to his dad, but he sure got his love for beautiful women from him. The father-of-one was previously married to Jordan Craig, Tristan Thompson's baby mama.

Craig and Tyga were reportedly married for just a month after tying the knot on September 6, 2010. The union was later officially dissolved in 2011.

He then went on to date model and vixen Blac Chyna. Chyna met Tyga at a tour after-party in 2011, leading to her appearance in his music video for "Rack City." The couple welcomed a son in 2012 and became engaged, but ultimately parted ways in 2014.

Tyga was also romantically involved with mogul and influencer Kylie Jenner for about three years. Kylie and Tyga's relationship allegedly began when she was just 17, sparking controversy due to her underage status.

During their time together, she appeared in her partner's music videos, "Stimulated" and "Dope'd Up," and attended numerous events alongside him. On her 18th birthday, he surprised her with a Ferrari 458 convertible.

Despite several breakups throughout their relationship, they ultimately separated for good in 2017.

RIP, Tyga's mom!
