Tyga Insists $tarface Album Not Totally AI, Responds to Doja Cat

August 14, 2026

Tyga insists his new $tarface album is not totally AI and says Doja Cat made a demonic album.

T-Raww is the latest rapper at the center of an AI controversy, after admitting to using AI to make his 1980s-inspired alter ego album, $tarface. During an interview with TMZ on Thursday (Aug. 13), Tyga cleared the air.

“What I said was, I used AI-assisted things in the production,” Tyga said. “All the vocals are me. I wrote all the songs. When it comes to the 80s synths and some of the guitar solos, yes, I used AI for that.”

Tyga also responded to Doja Cat recently calling him a penis for making an album made using AI.

“I love Doja, but she made a demonic album,” he said.

During an interview with Vibe last week, Tyga opened up about using AI for his concept LP.

“I’ve never spoken on this with anybody because I always felt like it’s similar to a magician explaining how he does his tricks,” he said. “Like why are people overexplaining how they make sh*t that’s good? If you like it, you like it; if you don’t, you don’t. I don’t care. It’s supposed to give you an experience and a feeling. But we definitely used AI as a [tool]. And I know people are going to be mad about me saying this, but it’s where technology is going. It’s no different than when Auto-Tune came out. Some people were opposed to it, but real artists took it and used it.”
