Rapper Tyga has been criticized by many for his alleged relationship with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner. Now, he is telling the public that he loves Kylie.

Tyga and Kylie have been rumored to have been dating for quite some time. A recent interview on Hot 97 Radio will definitely serve as proof to some that the two are in fact dating, according to Hollywood Life.

"If I love her, and I love her as a person, ain't nobody else gotta deal with that," Tyga said in the Hot 97 interview. "That's real. The more your friendship grow, it keeps growing. It's all about a friendship."

Just a few days ago, Tyga denied dating Kylie, Hollywood Life reports.

"No, I'm not dating Kylie. I wanna be clear to everybody, I didn't leave my family to be with Kylie. That's ridiculous," he said.

Tyga recently posted a photo of Kylie on Instagram calling her "one of the best/dopest people in his life" and praising her beauty.

"I do that for myself. I speak what I feel in my heart, and if I want to express that, then I will express that at that time. If I want to express it later in life, then I will do it later," he said.

Amber Rose recently slammed Tyga, and she said she believed he was dating Kylie on a radio show interview. She said he should be "ashamed" for dating Kylie.

Kanye West came to Tyga's defense on another radio show and reportedly said that the rapper and his sister-in-law are indeed in love.

Tyga was asked point blank by the host of the Hot 97 interview if he was dating Kylie.

He dodges the questions but does say he "loves her as a person." The host confirmed with Tyga that he has known Kylie for a "long time."

Tyga concluded, "If I want to be around Kylie, that's my decision."
