Tyga reportedly raps about sex with Kylie Jenner in his latest song.
The 'Rack City' hitmaker released the mixtape track 'Stimulated' earlier this week and it's been claimed the lyrics refer to his bedroom activities with the 18-year-old 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star.
He raps: "I'm stimulated, I'm at the bank, I'm penetratin', I'm puttin' in, I'm penetratin', I'm gettin' big, she stimulated.
"They say she young, I shoulda waited, she a big girl, dog, when she stimulated."
The 25-year-old musician previously denied he was dating the reality TV star but, after celebrating her 18th birthday earlier this month, they appear to have confirmed their relationship with a number of public displays of affection.
And it now seems he's comfortable telling the world about their intimate relationship.
The track continues: "F**k what they talkin' about, I do what the f**k I wanna do.
"She a big girl, dog, I'm puttin' in, yeah, I'm penetratin', I'm gettin' big, yeah, I'm stimulated.
"Might take her home, gonna dinner plate it, I don't heat it up, I don't microwave it, she already hot, she sizzle, baby.
"No salt-n-pepper, she been the flava, I'ma stimulate her."
However, it's not the first time one of Tyga's explicit raps has been linked to Kylie.
After singing about "catching a felony" in his single 'Pleazer' it was claimed he was referring to the fact it was illegal for him to have sex with the brunette beauty while she was still just 17 years old.
He rapped: "T nasty, 'bout to catch a felony for it."
However, the 'Ayo' rapper later denied the claims, insisting he was still with the mother of his son King Cairo, Blac Chyna when the song was recorded.

Ellie Goulding's new single is "very different".
The 28-year-old star is gearing up to release her third studio album later this year and has teased fans can expect a new sound from the LP's first single, which has been created with top pop producer Max Martin.
She hinted: "The first single? I really like it, it's very different for me.
"But I think it's a good different. Max Martin [produced it]."
The 'Love Me Like You Do' hitmaker continued to say the track will be accompanied by a 'Thelma & Louise'-style video, which she promised will be released in the next month.
She told Capital FM: "Well it involves me and another girl who's really hot and we're sort of like 'Thelma & Louise'.
"I guess [you'll see it] in about a month's time. I'm very excited about it."
Ellie - who has been dating McBusted's Dougie Poynter for the last 18 months - recently revealed she had almost completed the album and would be releasing it before the end of the year.
She said: "I don't really know why this word seems appropriate but it's definitely bigger.
"Whether that means it's more adventurous, or a bit more ambitious, or a bit more daring, I don't know. But I'm certainly taking on something a lot bigger than I have before and sonically it's a lot bigger.
"So that album is coming out and what people make of it I don't know, but it is coming. It's nearly finished and it will be out this year. Even if it's out on December 30, which is my birthday, it will be out this year."

Ed Sheeran has revealed details about his new label, Gingerbread Man Records.
The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker has launched his own record label - which is a subsidiary of Warner Music UK LTD - and has expressed his excitement about working with up-and-coming artists.
Ed said: "I'm extremely excited to be starting-up my own label. It's something I've been planning for some time. I've always loved endorsing acts from the very beginning and I get to work with artists I truly believe in."
The 24-year-old star - whose second studio album 'x' is the most streamed record on Spotify ever - has also revealed the details of his first signing, Jamie Lawson, who he recently championed at a tiny show in London and who will release his album later this year.
He added: "My first signing is Jamie Lawson - he's an incredible talent, who I've known for a couple of years, and we've actually been on tour this year across Australia and the UK/Europe. Jamie's self-titled album is coming on October 9 and I can't wait for you to hear it."
The four-time BRIT Award winner will release Jamie's first video through the label's new official YouTube channel, which fans can subscribe to now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfLAzLhQsUOYIAq02LB32nQ

Rita Ora's collaboration with Ed Sheeran is one of the "sweetest" she's ever heard.
The 24-year-old singer teamed up with the 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker on the song 'Us' for her new album and she's admitted it's one of her favourites.
She said: "For me, it's one of the sweetest, heartwarming, incredible love songs/reality that I've ever heard, and it kind makes me think, 'Thank God that someone wrote that in a song."
Despite releasing the album 'Ora' in 2012, Rita has insisted she's treating her upcoming record as her first proper release.
She explained: "I'm approaching it like it's my first record 'cause I haven't necessarily released a worldwide record before. It really presents the music I love as a fan of music, from my love of punk to hip-hop to R&B to soul."
The 'Poison' hitmaker - who previously delayed the release of her album following her split from Calvin Harris - was also selective about who she worked with this time around.
She told Rap-Up.com: "I made sure this album wasn't a one-way street. It's about expressing my sexuality, expressing my independence as a female, being really honest with my past and working with only a hand selected group of people."
Rita also worked with Chris Brown on the song 'Body On Me' and the pair got up close and personal in the music video but she insists their relationship is purely platonic.
She added: "It's definitely the most intimate video I've done so far. Chris is so fun to work with and being friends with someone and working with them, it kinda takes the pressure off, so it made it much easier actually and we were doing our job, we were doing a role, and we just created this concept and we acted out our roles."

Niall Horan is set to "land the second biggest solo deal".
The star's group, One Direction, are set to disband in March and while Harry Styles is being tipped for a huge solo career, 21-year-old hunk Niall is also rumoured to be planning his own album.
A source revealed: "He's one of the most popular members in the US and could land the second biggest solo deal. He could get £4m."
The 'Night Changes' singer could be heading in a different musical direction to his bandmates though, having been taking guitar lessons from iconic Rolling Stones musician Ronnie Wood and being inspired by the band's rock legacy.
The source continued: "Niall loves rock music and became a really good guitarist after getting lessons from Ronnie Wood."
However, there could also be other new ventures in the pipeline for Niall, having professed his passion for a whole range of sports in the past few years, even being a caddie for professional golfer Rory McIlroy
The insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "There's even been talk of a sports promotion or marketing role."
Meanwhile, global record label Sony are set to snap up Harry with the hopes of him releasing his debut solo record next year, just months after One Direction's as-yet untitled fifth album.
A Sony insider revealed to The Sun newspaper: "Harry has always been One Direction's most popular member and it's obvious that we want to secure him. He's a global superstar.
"Everyone wants to know what his solo material will sound like, there's also a lot of pressure to get it right.
"Harry is a smart guy and is really good at surrounding himself with talented people."

Calvin Harris is the world's highest paid DJ.
The 'Summer' hitmaker - who's dating pop-star Taylor Swift - has topped Forbes Magazine's annual list of highest paid earners, raking in an estimated $66 million last year in pre-tax earnings between June 2014-June 2015.
His staggering wage is far more than the second highest paid DJ, David Guetta, who made $37 million last year from his residencies in Las Vegas and Ibiza and headline slot at this year's Coachella Festival in California.
Dutch DJ Tiesto came third on the list with $36 million whilst Skrillex and Steve Aoki - who both earned $24 million - followed in joint fourth place.
Calvin's haul - which surpassed 'Hunger Games' star Jennifer Lawrence who is the world's highest paid actress earning $52 million in the same period - comes from the sale of his debut 2014 LP 'Motion' which reached the top of U.S. dance charts and the his modelling stint for Giorgio Armani for underwear, eye wear and watch lines, as well as his own Las Vegas residency.
He told Forbes: "The rise of dance music has been astronomical... I happened to be in the right place at the right time."
Forbes said: "He's had a pretty good year at the office."

Jessie Ware is "a few songs in" to her new album.
The 'Say You Love Me' singer has revealed she's started working on her third studio album following the success of 2014's 'Tough Love' and is "feeling good" about the direction of her new music.
Asked about her future plans, she said: "I'm going to be writing a new record. I'm into it. I'm a few songs in and feeling good, so I'm going to be just writing."
The 30-year-old musician explained she is especially looking forward to working on her new collection because although it's been less than a year since she released her second LP, she's feeling "a bit bored" of herself, so may experiment with her sound on her next release.
She continued: "It's kind of coming to the end of the festival season, and then I'm in hibernation mode and I'm going to be just writing. So yeah, I've just been around singing the same songs, ready to write some new ones.
"I'm just a bit bored of myself, so I don't know how that's going to work out, I'm still going to be myself on the third album, but you know ..."
And while she's proud of all the music she has released to date, she confessed she has grown fed up of her track '110%', also known as 'If You're Never Gonna Move', even though it's a crowd pleaser.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1, she said: "I'm really sorry to everyone that likes this song.
"RIP '110%'. I love that song, I love that I made it with Bashmore, but it's so hard to sing and I kind of just, I'm so bored of it. That's terrible isn't it? I shouldn't say that."

Sam Smith is heading into the studio to record his second LP.
The 'Lay Me Down' hitmaker told festival-goers at Virgin Media's V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex on Saturday (22.08.15) that the festival is the last UK date he will play before he begins work on the follow-up to his debut album 'In The Lonely Hour'.
Before launching into hit single 'Stay With Me', he told the crowd: "V Festival is one of my favourite festivals to play. I will be heading into the studio to make my second album, so V is the last UK dates before I go and make my second record."
The 23-year-old singer became very emotional halfway through his set and opened up about the person who broke his heart and inspired the album.
Before performing 'Not In That Way' he explained: "I like to take this time in the show to talk a little bit about who this record is about, what inspired this album ... Basically, I fell in love with a guy three years ago and he completely broke my heart. I was in love with him and he didn't love me back. And it wasn't a very nice situation for me.
"The only way for me to get over that and get through that was to write this record. It's actually really helped me, I've been on tour now for the last three years. I've gone from feeling these songs, so completely in my chest and in my heart and singing them, to finally getting over him, which is a good thing. And now it's a little bit hard sometimes to sing these songs. And these songs are now no longer my songs they are your songs."
V Festival saw the likes of James Bay, Kasabian, George Ezra and Ellie Goulding play to thousands of music lovers, with Sam's pal Gregory Porter also being applauded following his performance by celebrity fans such as Conor Maynard and Ella Henderson.

Calvin Harris closed V Festival's Virgin Media stage with a spectacular performance of his greatest hits.
The Scottish superstar DJ pulled in the biggest crowd of the entire weekend on Sunday night (23.08.15) as he drew the festival to a close at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex.
The 'Outside' hitmaker's headline set saw a dazzling firework and pyrotechnics display with several flares thrown throughout.
However, that didn't detract from the music as he played a set list of all his top hits, including 'I Feel So Close', 'I Need Your Love' and 'Outside'.
The 31-year-old producer today (24.08.15) took to Instagram to share a photo of the crowd watching the fireworks during his set with a caption, which read: "Madness in Chelmsford last night...amazing crowd great festival (sic)"
Earlier in the day Ellie Goulding took to the same stage and wowed festival-goers with her own rendition of Calvin's hit 'Outside', on which she sings.
The 'Love Me Like You Do' hitmaker's McBusted boyfriend Dougie Poynter was spotted leaving the side of the stage immediately after her set as girls in the audience screamed his name.
