Tyga admits messaging 14-year-old model but denies it ever got "uncomfortable" as it was business

Tyga reaches out to teen

Tyga has admitted to talking to 14-year-old model Molly O’Malia, but it was purely for business, according to a report.
The Rack City rapper, who is dating 18-year-old beauty Kylie Jenner, claims that he only reached out to the teen because he was scouting new talent.
Tyga’s manager Anthony Martini told TMZ that Tyga personally got in touch with O’Malia after his team came across her singing online.
The team are said to have put her forward as a candidate to feature on a Last Kings Records project – which is Tyga’s label.

The rep also added that Tyga was keen to FaceTime the teen model so they could listen to her sing, while he was in the studio with producers.

Tyga's rep admits that he had been messaging the teen

The ninth grade youngster, who identified herself simply as Molly at a press conference on Monday, appeared alongside celebrity attorney Gloria Allred and fought to contain her tears as she read out a statement on camera.
She decided to waive her anonymity to rubbish claims Tyga cheated on Kylie with her, insisting they never even met - and she never gave permission for her texts to be printed.
The messages were cited in a December 28 edition of OK Magazine, alongside a pixelated photo of Molly.

The teen was tearful as she made a stand against the claims she broke Kylie and Tyga up

She claims many of her friends and family were able to identify her from the photo, and she soon received a "negative" reaction - having a huge social media fanbase of her own.
Attorney Allred claimed the teen had "thousands" of followers, and said during the live stream - published by TMZ: "She feels that she needs to speak out and so does her mom, people need to be accountable."
Allred claims the teen was wrongfully portrayed as a youngster keen to have a relationship with Tyga, and didn't rule out legal action.

Molly went on to insist she didn't pass on the messages she sent to Tyga to the magazine, and added: "Even though OK magazine pixelated my face and did not use my name, a lot of people could tell it was me."
She added: "As a result of the story and the photo, I received a lot of negative attention, not only from people in my own state but from all over the place. I don’t deserve the negative attention I have been getting as a result of this photo.
"I would never have allowed OK Magazine or any other magazine to use them.
"I am speaking out today because I don’t want what happened to me to happen to any other young girl."

Tyga and Kylie were alleged to have briefly split over the claims

Molly's mother also spoke to defend her daughter.
"Molly decided the best thing to do was to stand up for herself," she said. "I’m very proud of her to have the courage to come today and do this. I love you Molly, and I’m proud to be your mom."
While it was claimed Tyga and Kylie had split up at the end of last year, the pair have shared loved up snaps since as they're spotted looking closer than ever.
