Angela Renée White (born May 11, 1988),[3] commonly known as Blac Chyna, is an American model, television personality, rapper, and socialite. She originally rose to prominence in 2010 as the stunt double for Nicki Minaj in the music video for the song "Monster" by Kanye West.[4] She gained wider media attention after being name-dropped in the song "Miss Me" by Drake the same year, leading to a number of magazine appearances, including pieces in Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. In 2014, she launched her own makeup brand, "Lashed by Blac Chyna", and a beauty salon in Encino, Los Angeles. She has since made a number of media appearances, including in her own reality television shows, Rob & Chyna and The Real Blac Chyna.[5]

Career

While stripping at King of Diamonds, a popular Miami club, Blac 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."[6] In 2010, Drake name-dropped her in "Miss Me".[6] Her rising popularity led to modeling jobs on the covers of Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. Later that year, she was cast as Nicki Minaj's stunt double in the song "Monster" by Kanye West.[4]

Throughout her career, Blac Chyna has undergone several surgeries for buttock augmentation and breast enhancement, but has also had surgery to reduce the size of her chest.[7]

In February 2013, she enrolled in JLS Professional Make Up Artist School. In December 2013, she launched her online boutique, "88fin", filled with new clothing and products from her clothing line of the same name. Also that month, she launched her own brand of adhesive eyelashes, "Lashed by Blac Chyna". In February 2014, she purchased a beauty bar in Encino, Los Angeles, which offers makeup courses.[4]

Since 2016, she 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.[8] In 2019, she starred in The Real Blac Chyna on Zeus Network.[5] She has also appeared in Tokyo Toni's Finding Love ASAP!, and VH1's Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.[9]

Blac Chyna produced content on OnlyFans, which she joined in April 2020.[10] She subsequently departed from the platform in 2023.[11]

Personal life

In December 2011, Blac 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 that year, but she refused. They began dating in December 2011,[6] and had a son together in October 2012.[12] They split in 2014 when Tyga began a relationship with Kylie Jenner, leading to a number of social media feuds between Blac Chyna and Jenner that ended when Blac Chyna started dating Jenner's half-brother, Rob Kardashian, in 2016.[6] In November 2016 she gave birth to their daughter.[13]

In December 2016, Kardashian announced on his Instagram post that he and Blac Chyna had split.[14] They reconciled a few days later, but separated again in February 2017. In July 2017, Kardashian posted sexually explicit photos of Blac Chyna on social media, leading to Blac Chyna's obtaining a temporary restraining order against him.[15] In October 2017, Blac Chyna filed a more than $100 million lawsuit against the Kardashian family for defamation. The trial began in April 2022.[16] On May 2, 2022, a jury found in favor of the Kardashian family, with no damages being awarded to Chyna.[17]

In March 2023, Blac Chyna revealed that she had been baptized a year earlier following her conversion to Christianity. She also stated that she had deleted her OnlyFans account, while also reversing some of her plastic surgery and removing her tattoo of Baphomet in light of her newfound faith.[11]
