Young Money's new Compton, Cali artist, Tyga, just dropped his debut, No Introduction, on Tuesday (June 10), and just as his career takes off, he's already experiencing problems in the rumor mill.

Late last week, videos surfaced on the internet with West Coast rapper 40 Glocc and his associates bragging about having the 18-year-old rapper's chains in their possession.

Throughout the video, 40 Glocc and Village Boo display Tyga's alleged chains, mocking him for getting jacked by people they know, and offering to return them for a price.

The young rapper appeared on "TRL" this week in promotion of his debut, but when asked about the YouTube video, he declined to address it directly, simply saying he loves haters.

"I love it," Tyga. "It's making me go harder. What did Mr. West say? He said, 'I'm excited when somebody don't like me, it keep me writing, so exciting.' That's real man. It makes your heart bigger. They don't understand I'm a little dude and you're bringing out the fire out of me. I love the hate man, it's good."

He was also wearing at least one of the chains that were jacked during the appearance.

40 Glocc, however, claims the chains were given back ... scratch that bought back, but doesn't say by who.

"The chain was bought back," 40 said in an email statement. "... and now it's time to expose these chumps, and no, his artist Tyga is not a kid, he is 20 years old."

Also in the statement, the Infamous/G-Unit artist explains why the rapper's chains were stolen, saying it's related to gangbanging.

"Lil Wayne dissed the whole crip card on a song worldwide," 40 says. "He said if you ain't swoop gang, you are under water food chain ... meaning a (crab). That's real live bangin' on wax if you ask me, so I had to expose the chumps. Especially after the chain got bought back in cash money."

No Introduction is in stores now.

"if you aint in the swoop gang you underwater food chain"...to be part of the 'swoop gang' is a state of being, its a role that you are filling in. the under water food chain is a process, noone can ever be under water food chain... the lyrics make no fucking sense(probably cause he is a drop out)...and by no means does it mean your a crab(this guys is even dumber than wayne)... where the hell are the educated artists??? and please dont say nas that guy would suck his own dick if he could, he is convinced that he is a revolutionary and a visionary... on stillmatic he says at the end of a song "to my nigga che guevera killed by his country"...che was argintinian and a cuban citizen he was killed in bolivia... this ignorant shit is why i havent listend to hip hop in over a year...

I don't like 40 Glocc because he's against Dip Set, and I like Dip Set. I don't care for Tyga because I haven't heard a damn thing he's made yet. But if Wayne is throwing out eronious Crip disses, dudes will respond. Triple OG Blood said he ain't Blood. Wayne is trying to be Blood without getting jumped in. If 40 Glocc is Crip, he's obligated to respond. There's a difference between rap and street shit. Wayne is not Blood, Wayne is Sqad. Remember that local hybrid gang shit he was repping before he started traveling outside of New Orleans. Remember the Sqad t-shirts and headbands back when headbands were cool. Remember the Soulja rags and shit. You're a good rapper Wayne but stop faking Blood; you look desparate.

I saw Tyga's album in the stores yesterday but at first it looked like he was a R&B artist the way he was dressed. Will have to sample his music and see if he really is better than some of 40Gloccs better stuff. He needs to prove because there are enough other younger artists out there who have put in more work and made good stuff who need to get on like Problem, Ya Boy, etc, etc
