Blac Chyna


Angela Renée White, known professionally as Blac Chyna, is an American model, socialite and entrepreneur. Originally rising to prominence in 2010 as the stunt double for Nicki Minaj in the music video for the song "Monster" by Kanye West, Chyna gained wider media attention after being name-dropped in the song "Miss Me" by Drake in the same year, leading to a number of magazine appearances, including pieces in Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. In 2014, Chyna launched her own makeup brand, "Lashed by Blac Chyna", and a beauty salon in Encino, Los Angeles. Chyna has since made a number of media appearances, including in her own reality television shows, Rob & Chyna and The Real Blac Chyna.

Early life and career

Angela Renee White was born on May 11 1988 to Shalana Hunter and Eric Holland in Washington District Of Columbia. Chyna began stripping in Maryland to pay for her college tuition. While attending Johnson & Wales University in Miami, Chyna resumed stripping, eventually dropping out from the exhaustion of handling both stripping and studying, after having repeatedly fallen asleep in class. Chyna began to focus on stripping and modelling, taking the name "Blac Chyna" on the suggestion of a customer as a stage handle.
While stripping at a popular Miami club, Chyna's unusual and "exotic" look made her popular; radio host Angela Yee described her as looking "like someone who was going to be famous." In 2010, Drake name-dropped her in "Miss Me". Her rising popularity led to modeling jobs on the covers of Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. Later in the same year, she was cast as Nicki Minaj's stunt double in the song "Monster" by Kanye West.
Throughout her career, Chyna has undergone several surgeries for breast enhancement, but has also had surgery to reduce the size of her chest.
In February 2013, Chyna enrolled in JLS Professional Make Up Artist School. In December 2013, she launched her online boutique entitled "88fin", filled with new clothing and products from her clothing line of the same name. Also in the same month, Chyna launched her own brand of adhesive eyelashes called "Lashed by Blac Chyna". In February 2014, Chyna purchased a beauty bar located in Encino, Los Angeles, offering makeup courses.
Since 2016, Chyna has appeared in a number of reality television shows, including E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and her own reality show with then-boyfriend Rob Kardashian Rob & Chyna, also on the E! network. In 2019, Chyna starred in The Real Blac Chyna on Zeus Network. Chyna has also appeared in Tokyo Toni's Finding Love ASAP!, and VH1's .

Personal life

In December 2011, Chyna appeared in the music video for the song "Rack City" by rapper Tyga; she has said that Tyga asked her to join him on tour in the same year, but that she refused. The two began dating, also in December 2011, and had a son together, born in October 2012. The couple split in 2014 when Tyga began a relationship with Kylie Jenner, leading to a number of social media feuds between both Chyna and Jenner, eventually coming to an end when Chyna began dating Jenner's half-brother, Rob Kardashian, in 2016. Their daughter was born in November 2016.
In December 2016, Kardashian announced on his Instagram post that he and Chyna split. They reconciled a few days later, but separated again in February 2017. In July 2017, Kardashian posted sexually explicit photos of Chyna on social media, leading to Chyna obtaining a temporary restraining order against him.
