Tyga was arrested after his ex-girlfriend accused him of hitting her during an argument, Us Weekly confirms — details

Tyga was arrested on felony domestic violence charges after turning himself in to the authorities on Tuesday, October 12, Us Weekly confirms.

The “Juicy” rapper, 31, surrendered at the Hollywood Police station, Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Jeff Lee told Us. He was booked on felony domestic violence, which the LAPD noted was a “result of an incident that occurred on October 11, 2021.”

According to TMZ, Tyga’s ex Camaryn Swanson alleged that he hit her. The performer, real name Micheal Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, allegedly assaulted Swanson, 22, after she arrived at his house at 3 a.m. on Monday, October 11, and “started acting belligerent at the door.” Tyga reportedly let her inside and a verbal altercation ensued.

Swanson refuted some parts of the TMZ report via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, and she included a screenshot of a text message that seemingly indicated Tyga sent a car to pick her up. “I didn’t show up ‘screaming’ or uninvited. When I tried to leave he physically assaulted and refused to let me leave for hours,” the influencer alleged.

She shared a photo of her apparent injuries as well. “I’ve been emotionally, mentally and physically abused and I’m not hiding it anymore,” she wrote alongside a photo of her bruised eye on Tuesday.
