14 DAY TRIAL // Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan turned 18 on August 10, and one day later, she was already going public with her boyfriend Tyga, the 25-year-old rapper she’d been dating since she was 15 or 16.
Because he can no longer be charged with statutory rape, since Kylie is of age, Tyga will be included on the new season of the family’s E!-produced reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, currently shooting in St. Barts. He will also be getting paid, Radar Online has learned.
Tyga is now “part of the family”
Insiders familiar with the production tell& the e-zine that, since Scott Disick is out of the picture and so is Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner), there’s money to be spent on a new love interest. Momager Kris Jenner has “fought hard” to have creative control over the way her daughter’s relationship with Tyga would be portrayed on the show, and she’s won.
The family (minus the aforementioned Disick and Caitlyn) in now on an E!-sponsored vacation in St. Barts, and Tyga has been by Kylie’s side around the clock. They’ve also been acting like the couple the entire world knew they were, with the E! cameras documenting their every move.
Tyga has been integrated in the show, and his relationship with Kylie will be central to next season’s storyline.
“The family has decided to integrate Tyga into the show because all of them really like him and it looks like he is going to become a part of their family,” says a spy.
Dating Kylie also pays the bills
That’s not all, though: the same report notes that Tyga is also getting paid for his appearances on the show. Apparently, he’s famous enough to command an impressive paycheck, and could stand to make up to $500,000 (€439,058) for just one season.
For the time being, he’s paid on an episode-by-episode basis because producers don’t know if his presence on the show will boost ratings. Once this season airs, if he turns out to be good for the ratings, he will get more money through a better contract deal.
Other men whom fans can expect to see next season, based on this report and paparazzi photos from the St. Barts vacation, available online, are Corey Gamble, Kris Jenner’s latest “boytoy,” and James Harden, who recently started dating Khloe Kardashian.
Given last week’s incident with Lamar Odom, Khloe’s ex-husband, when he “ambushed” and “attacked” her outside a gym in LA, it’s very likely that he’ll also be making an appearance.
