James Lock lashes out at Tyga for messaging his girlfriend

James Lock has lashed out at Tyga for trying hit on his girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou.

The \'Only Way is Essex\' star has seemingly put the 27-year-old rapper in his place after he allegedly sent the brunette beauty, whom James has been dating since the end of last year, a "cringe-worthy" message on Instagram recently.

According to The Sun Online, James, 30, told the \'Rack City\' hitmaker: "What\'s happening Tyga?

Are Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet the new couple?

"Listen just seen you have slid into my girlfriend\'s DMs and it didn\'t quite work out for you. Seriously though, why would she want a Tyga when she had a lion at home? (sic)"

Tyga\'s message, which was believed to be two flame emojis, to Yazmin comes just weeks after he came to the realisation that he\'ll never rekindle his romance with his on/off girlfriend Kylie Jenner after she struck up a relationship with Travis Scott.

A source said recently: "Now it seems there really is something between them and Tyga\'s finally accepting it. All his attempts to make Kylie jealous have fallen flat and she\'s not bitten at all. Tyga\'s pretty much kicking himself for messing up and for not keeping Kylie, she\'s definitely going to be the \'one that got away\' for him."

Kylie Jenner celebrates daughter Stormi's fifth birthday.

Yazmin, on the other hand, was first linked to James in December when the hunk mentioned he was dating her during a row with his ex-partner Danielle Armstrong.

He said: "I\'ve been seeing her for a little while, and obviously the show is based on reality and what\'s going on in our lives so she\'s been brought into the show.

"We had a chat and it was her choice, and she said for the sake of me and her she\'d give it a go. And she\'s come on and she\'s like a fish in water, she\'s doing really well."
