Tyga Launches a Gaming App

Consider this for a second: Tyga owes his landlord $50,000, and that's probably the least of his worries. The embattled Compton rapper has plenty on his plate (and his lawyers on theirs), but he also has a couple of creative projects in the pipeline. Among them is Kingin' World Tour, a new smartphone app that allows players to compete against one another one-on-one or in group settings to win cash prizes. The app, which will drop concurrently with the rapper's new NTV reality show, Kingin' With Tyga, is available for the iPhone and will be available on Android soon. It's been developed by Cashplay, a global firm dedicated to mobile gambling based in Prague and San Francisco. The company has secured the rights to use Tyga's likeness in the mobile market for two years. “Tyga's music and industry influence offered us an exceptional opportunity to reach our core audience," Cashplay's CEO, Jarrod Epps said in a statement. "This title is an exciting first release of a string of games featuring influential sports and entertainment stars who we have signed to our eSports game label."

Among the legal and personal woes facing Tyga at the moment are the ongoing fiasco over his leaked nude picture, and the surrounding controversy about his supposed affair with a transgender porn star. (No word on whether the FBI is involved yet.) Additionally, sources say Birdman may be severely unhappy with Tyga's decision to drop his last album for free. Add this all up with a lawsuit over his clothing line, and Tyga is having a summer his publicist will never forget.
