Craig Barritt/Getty ImagesKylie Jenner is addressing the engagement rumors head on.
E! News reported that Kylie and her boyfriend Tyga are not engaged despite him referring to her as his "fiancée" in a Snapchat video, and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to her website to clear the air. She explained in a live stream Thursday night that Tyga was merely mocking a video he discovered on Instagram.
"He was making fun of an Instagram that he posted like 30 minutes before," the 18-year-old explained. "He knew there was this guy who was on Instagram, where he found this funny little video and it's of this guy doing an interview and he's like, 'I don't like nobody. I just play with my fiancée and my little dog.'"
In the video that sparked the rumors in the first place, Tyga said, "I don't f--k with nobody. It's just me, my fiancée and the dog I just got. I don't f--k with nobody."
It only took the one reference to set the Internet on fire. But a source close to the family clarified that the couple, while serious, are not set to tie the knot.
Over the past year, Kylie's social media presence has exploded. During New York Fashion Week the reality TV star gained one million followers in just seven days! She also has seen enormous success on Snapchat, which has launched several Instagram accounts that capture her videos and post them for those who don't follow her Snapsterpieces.
Her growing social media presence has led Kim Kardashian to realize that she might not be on top for much longer.
"I love it, like, I love it," Kim said during Kylie's live stream. "I need some time off. I mean honey, let's be real, you've got to put in a few more years before you actually dethrone me. But I give my baton to you. Who better to pass on knowledge to my baby sister, rather than a random, non-family member."
Kylie opened up to E! News during Fashion Week about her social media success and why she thinks she's such a hit. "I think it's because maybe I show behind the scenes of the paparazzi," she mused.
"I don't think a lot of people know my personality and what I do with my friends. I don't know."
Whatever it is, it's working!
