Rapper Tyga is cooperating with authorities following accusations of domestic violence made by his ex-girlfriend Camaryn Swanson.
The 31-year-old musician, whose real name is Micheal Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, is fighting accusations he became physical with the influencer, 22, during the early hours on Monday morning, TMZ reports.
The Rack City hitmaker allegedly got into a heated clash with Swanson when she showed up at his mansion ‘screaming in the middle of the night’.
According to the publication, Swanson then claims that ‘Tyga put his hands on her’ during an argument.
It is claimed family members, who were present during the incident, believed Swanson ‘appeared to be under the influence’, but the Taste ‘still let her inside to talk.’
The fashion designer called her mom following the fight to pick her up, before phoning the police.
TMZ reported that responding officers saw ‘visible marks’ on her and ‘took a report for felony domestic violence.’
Tyga has not been arrested, and would not speak with police Monday morning, but instead will speak with them Tuesday at the station, the publication claimed.
Following the release of the report, Swanson spoke out on Instagram to share her side of the story as she posts pictures of her alleged injuries.

‘@tmz I’ve been emotionally, mentally, and physically abused and I’m not hiding it anymore,’ she wrote alongside an image in which she had bruised swelling around her eye.
The social media star also shared a screenshot of text messages which appeared to contradict claims she had arrived unannounced.
She alleged: ‘@tmz I didn’t show up ‘screaming’ or uninvited, when I tried to leave he physically assaulted and refused to let me leave for hours.’
Sharing another image of her alleged injuries, Swanson wrote: ‘I’m so embarrassed and ashamed it had to get to this but I have to stand up for myself.’
