TMZ first reported that the rapper turned himself in after his ex-girlfriend Swanson posted photos of bruises she allegedly received at the hands of the rapper over the weekend.
"I've been emotionally, mentally and physically abused and I'm not hiding it anymore," she wrote alongside a photo of herself with a black eye.
Swanson then shared screenshots of their text conversation, adding that when she "tried to leave, he physically assaulted and refused to let me leave for hours."
"I'm so embarrassed and ashamed it had to get to this but I have to stand up for myself," she added on Instagram.
Swanson and Tyga started dating in early 2021.
A rep for Tyga did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
