In February, rapper Tyga announced the passing of his beloved mother, Pasionaye Nguyen, in a post on Instagram. Tyga said she died on January 18. He did not specify a cause of death.
According to Rhymeswithsnitch, earlier this week, Tyga met with celebrity psychic Tyler Henry to help him make contact with his mom.
In a post on his Instagram Stories, the 35-year-old rapper thanked Tyler for helping him connect with his mom. He captioned the post, “Thanks for visiting today. Great conversation and connecting [with] my mom.”
Tyga didn’t share what he and his mom discussed.
In his emotional Instagram tribute to his late mom on February 21, Tyga wrote:
“I been trying to understand and process why God takes the most meaningful and most beautifulest people away from us. But I know I’ll never get an answer that will fill the emptiness in my heart. Can’t imagine life without you by my side. You were the best and most supportive person in my life, you always made things better when I felt at my lowest and worst. I would trade anything just to be able to be with you again. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.”
Passionaye was born in Vietnam and Tyga’s father was born in Jamaica. His parents raised him in a middle-class home in the Valley.
Later, when Tyga pursued a rap career, he claimed he grew up in the hood.
Tyga signed a recording contract with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment. Tyga is best known for his hit single “Rack City” off his second album, Careless World: Rise of the Last King (2012).
