Tyga is getting more and more attracted to the classic Rolls-Royce, considering he keeps posting images with a 1959 model on his Instagram. We all know how important the British luxury car is for all these rappers nowadays, who compete each other with the number of Wraiths and Ghosts they own, but in Tyga's case it looks more like an obsession if you ask us.
Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, known by his stage name Tyga, really wants it all, even though some things should remain for the connaisseurs. Since it’s owned by BMW AG, the Rolls-Royce models seem like they’ve turned into rappers’ favorite luxury coupe. We get that. But what we can’t agree with, is having the old school British ones also touched by this trend.

In the picture Tyga recently posted on social media, we can see a 1959 model, which means we’re talking about the Silver Cloud II. Even though it had little changes on the exterior, as opposed to his predecessor this model came with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which pushed the weight to 2.11 tones. Performance was greatly improved and top speed was raised to 114 mph (183 km/h). The main improvements came with the acceleration and torque, while power steering became standard and electrically operated windows were now available as an option.

After all, this car makes you feel like the head of state, but that is only because kings and queens all over the world owned these sort of luxury limousines. We understand how rappers nowadays feel better when associated with gangsters, even though most of them are surrounded by bodyguards 24/7 and still play GTA on playstation. But seriously, nobody should joke around with the classics like these fellow wants to.
