RAPPER Tyga has defended himself after a red-faced Sir Paul McCartney was filmed being denied entry twice to his Grammy Awards after-party.

The Beatles superstar, 73, was eager to let his hair down after the ceremony but was banned from entering a bash at Argyle in Hollywood, which was being hosted by Tyga.

In a video filmed at the door, he can be heard joking: “How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit.”

The Hey Jude singer previously collaborated with Kanye West, who is married to Kim Kardashian, the sister of Tyga’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner. But not even that was enough to get him in.

But Tyga has since tweeted that he had no knowledge that the “legend” McCartney was shooed from his party. Had he known he rocked up, he said he would not have denied him entry.

Former Grammy Award winner Beck and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins were also unable to get into the extravagant bash and after a second attempt, they decided to try their luck elsewhere.

The trio instead made their way to Hyde cocktail bar on Sunset Boulevard in LA where Republic Records was holding a party.

However, when the party’s co-host Bow Wow discovered the news later on, he was shocked,

“Wait, time out. The Paul McCartney came to Argyle and they wouldn’t let him in?” he said.

“Well maybe it’s because we always come here and they know our faces.”

But there was no shortage of famous faces to keep them company when they got to the party, as a slew of other stars including Taylor Swift were there.

She was joined by her boyfriend Calvin Harris, along with Lorde, The Weeknd, Bella Hadid, Joe Jonas, Jeremy Renner, Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr.
