Rapper Tyga has denied reports that he is dating reality TV star Kylie Jenner.

After actress Amber Rose slammed him for dating a 17-year-old girl, Tyga declined the relationship rumours while appearing on a radio station Tuesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

`I'm not dating Kylie, I just want to get that out of the way. I want to be clear to everybody that I didn't leave my family to be with Kylie. That's ridiculous,` he said.

`Me and Chyna (girlfriend Blac Chyna), we broke up almost close to a year now, because of the decision we made, and things in our relationship that wasn't going right, so we decided to split to raise an emotionally stable kid.

`That's what we did and now we have a great relationship. I just want to be clear about that. I don't leave anybody to be with anybody,` he added.

His comments came one day after Rose and and Kylie's step sister Khloe Kardashian feuded on Twitter.

Tyga then went on to explain his relationship with the Kardashian family.

`...I've been friends with them before I even met Chyna. I was friends with Scott (Disick), her family for years, so me hanging out with them was nothing new. People just want to make a story out of it," he added.
