The Popdust Files: rack city, tyga

Tyga has never exactly been the most clean-cut of rappers, but now it looks like he’s gearing up to be something close to the Kid Rock of hip-hop. The Young Money rapper had already delved into the lucrative world of pornography with his RackCityXXX.com website and accompanying film—hey, if you’ve got the title, may as well use it, right?—but now he’s embracing the adult industry in full, with a scheduled appearance performing at the upcoming AVN awards, awarding “exceptional performance in various aspects of the creation and marketing of American pornographic movies.”

“It’s going to be a lot of fun being in Vegas, going to the awards and performing on stage,” Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson (yeah, that’s Tyga’s real name, no big deal) said of the ceremonies. “Once I saw it on TV I knew how big it was. It’s the 30th anniversary, and I know it’s a big night. I got a little taste of porn now through doing my movie and playing the awards is going to be something else. I’m really looking forward to it, and I plan on having a lot of fun.” Geez, we wonder if he’ll play “Rack City” there?
