Tyga may not be so happy with his latest holiday gift. The Young Money rapper has been sued by three video models, who appeared in his “Make It Nasty” music video, for exposing their nipples without their permission. According to TMZ, Alissa Rae Ross, Azia Davis, and Elizabeth Velasquez filed lawsuits against the “Faded” hit maker, claiming breach of contract, invasion of privacy and fraud, insisting the casting ad specifically stated, “There will be NO nudity involved in the video, and all the girls will be tastefully shot.”
In the lawsuits, Ross, Davis and Velasquez alleged they were asked to film some topless scenes during the video shoot on July 2, 2012, but claim they were told their nipples would be “covered” or “edited out.”
Ross, Davis and Velasquez also claim in filed documents that they were reassured that the original recording or version with the exposed nipples would never be released, but the visuals was later posted on Tyga’s Twitter account, and has since been posted on YouTube.
“Make it Nasty” is lifted from Tyga’s Young Money debut album Careless World: Rise of the Last King.

Final note: You shot topless in a leaking industry ladies!
Tyga, one of the most popular hip-hop artists in the industry today, is facing a lawsuit from two women claiming they were exposed to extreme humiliation and embarrassment due to his music video “Make It Nasty.” The vixens are suing Tyga for damages resulting from their untimely exposure of their nipples during the video shoot. This article will provide an overview of the legal proceedings that have taken place so far as well as how this case may affect future videos featuring scantily clad models.
The story begins when two female models who had been hired to appear in Tyga’s music video filed a lawsuit against him earlier last year. They allege that while filming “Make it Nasty,” Tyga instructed them to undress completely and then proceeded to film close-ups of their breasts without giving them any warning or consent. As a result, both women felt humiliated and embarrassed after watching themselves on YouTube with exposed nipples.
For years there has been controversy surrounding sexualized images in pop culture—and now Tyga may be held responsible for violating these actresses’ rights under California law. If he loses this case, it could set a precedent for other celebrities who use sexually suggestive imagery in their work; if found guilty, we may see more regulations put into place regarding what can be shown on screen. Stay tuned as this court battle continues!
Lawsuit Details
Vixens who appeared in Tyga’s 2012 music video “Make It Nasty” have filed a lawsuit against the rapper for their exposed nipples. According to court documents, three women are seeking damages from Tyga because he allegedly violated state and federal laws regarding nudity on film sets. The plaintiffs were reportedly promised modesty garments during filming but were not given any clothing or other covering for their nipples.
The suit also states that none of the vixens signed releases allowing their nipples to be shown in the finished product. Additionally, they allege that they weren’t informed before shooting began that there would be no provisions made for them to cover up their breasts while being filmed. As such, each woman is asking for $25 million in punitive damages plus additional compensation for emotional distress caused by having their bodies exposed without consent.
In light of these allegations, Tyga has yet to comment publicly on the matter. However, his legal team is likely preparing its defense as we speak. This case brings forward important questions about rights when it comes to working with performers in adult entertainment and beyond.
Outcome Of Legal Dispute
The legal dispute between Tyga and the vixens has been ongoing since it was first filed in 2014. In 2016, a judge sided with the plaintiffs, ruling that they had not given their consent to be filmed without proper covering for their nipples. The court ordered Tyga to pay $10 million in damages to each of the three women involved.
Tyga’s lawyers argued unsuccessfully against this decision on multiple occasions and eventually took the case to an appeals court, which upheld the original judgement. This means that although Tyga will have to pay out a large sum of money, he has avoided criminal charges and public embarrassment due to his failure to provide modesty garments while filming ‘Make It Nasty.’
At present, all parties are awaiting resolution of some remaining technical issues before payments can be made by Tyga. This case highlights how important it is for employers in the entertainment industry—and any field involving workers’ rights—to ensure employees’ safety and well-being at all times.
Conclusion
The lawsuit against Tyga for exposing the Vixens’ nipples in his music video ‘Make It Nasty’ has come to a close. In the end, it was determined that he had indeed violated their right to privacy and they were awarded an undisclosed amount of financial compensation.
I’m personally glad this case ended with justice being served; no one should be subjected to having their body exposed without consent or proper payment for services rendered. Everyone deserves respect when it comes to their bodies, regardless of gender or profession.
Ultimately, I believe this outcome will set an example for other artists so that these types of cases won’t happen again in the future. We need more accountability from people in positions of power so that those less fortunate don’t have to suffer any further mistreatment.
