‘Kyga’ still not socially acceptable

Well, the cat is finally out of the bag.

As if it wasn’t known by the entire country already, Tyga and Kylie Jenner’s relationship is finally out and in the open. For almost a year, rumors had been circulating that the two were an item. Of course, since Kylie was only 17 and Tyga was 25, the two constantly shut down any accusation that they were together.

Now that Jenner is finally 18 (also known as legal), the secret is finally out and the two aren’t hiding the relationship “that they never had” anymore. Jenner and Tyga have officially become “Kyga.”

Even after Jenner first turned 18, the couple still denied that they were dating. Their relationship was still in question until Tyga released his new video for “Stimulated” two weeks ago. Jenner plays as Tyga’s love interest in the video, and it’s clear that the song is actually about her. Throughout the song, Tyga repeats the line, “She a big girl, dog.” Yes, she is a big girl…now.

The fact that Tyga even made the song is actually pretty disturbing. It’s as if he’s trying to justify dating Jenner while she was still a minor. Not to mention, his lyrics about her clearly have a sexual connotation. Since when did a grown man talking about sex with a young girl become appealing?

Several people compare Tyga and Jenner’s relationship to the Weeknd and his new model girlfriend’s relationship. Just like Jenner, Bella Hadid also just turned 18. She and the Weeknd had also been dating while she was still a minor, but for some reason, we never seemed to criticize their relationship, let alone hear about it.

People claim that it’s unfair for Tyga and Jenner to be criticized when the Weeknd and Hadid did the same thing. This is true, but it also has to be kept in mind who we’re dealing with. Anything surrounding the Kardashian/Jenner clan is big news and all over the media. The Weeknd, on the other hand, is pretty low-key and is not very prominent in the media. And as for his girlfriend—well, many people don’t even know who she is. Therefore, it’s been known for about a year that Tyga and Jenner were a thing when most people just discovered a couple weeks ago that the Weeknd even has a girlfriend.

Again, we’re living in a world where celebrities get away with things that the average human being would never be able to. In a normal person’s world, both Tyga and the Weeknd are pedophiles and would be classified as a sex offender. Yet somehow, in the celebrity world, their relationships with under aged girls are acceptable.
