Angela Renée White (born May 11, 1988), widely recognized by her stage name Blac Chyna, is an American model, television figure, rapper, and socialite. She first attracted attention in 2010 when she worked as Nicki Minaj's stunt double in Kanye West's "Monster" music video. That same year, Drake referenced her in his track "Miss Me," which significantly increased her visibility and led to features in publications such as Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin, and Black Men's Magazine. In 2014, she debuted her cosmetics line titled "Lashed by Blac Chyna" and launched a beauty salon located in Encino, Los Angeles. Subsequently, she appeared on reality television programs including Rob & Chyna and The Real Blac Chyna.
Career
Blac Chyna gained prominence through her unique appearance while employed as a stripper at Miami’s King of Diamonds club. Following Drake’s mention of her in the song "Miss Me," she landed several magazine cover modeling opportunities and served as Nicki Minaj’s stunt double in Kanye West’s "Monster" video.
Her professional journey also includes undergoing various cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentations and buttock enhancements, with some surgeries intended to reduce breast size.
In 2013, she attended JLS Professional Make Up Artist School and launched an online store called "88fin," featuring her own apparel collection. That December, she introduced "Lashed by Blac Chyna," a line of adhesive false eyelashes. Early the next year, she acquired a beauty bar in Encino that offers makeup training courses.
From 2016 onward, Blac Chyna has been featured on reality television, including appearances on E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians and starring alongside then-partner Rob Kardashian in their show Rob & Chyna. In 2019, she headlined The Real Blac Chyna on the Zeus Network and also appeared on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood as well as Tokyo Toni's Finding Love ASAP!.
She joined the subscription platform OnlyFans in April 2020 and reportedly earned $240 million during 2021 before ending her presence on the site in 2023.
Personal life
Blac Chyna made an appearance in rapper Tyga’s music video for "Rack City" in December 2011 and began a romantic relationship with him that same month. They welcomed a son in October 2012 but parted ways in 2014 after Tyga started dating Kylie Jenner, which triggered disputes on social media. Subsequently, Blac Chyna dated Jenner's half-brother Rob Kardashian, with whom she had a daughter born in November 2016.
Rob Kardashian announced their breakup via Instagram in December 2016; although they briefly reunited, they separated again by February 2017. In July 2017, Kardashian shared explicit images of Blac Chyna online, prompting her to seek a temporary restraining order. Later that year, in October 2017, she filed a $100 million defamation suit against the Kardashian family. The case went to trial in April 2022, where the jury ruled in favor of the Kardashians and awarded no damages to Chyna.
In March 2023, Blac Chyna revealed her conversion to Christianity, noting that she was baptized the previous year. She also disclosed deleting her OnlyFans account, reversing some cosmetic surgeries, and removing a tattoo associated with Baphomet. In October 2023, after dating for approximately one year, she became engaged to Derrick Milano; he proposed during Howard University’s homecoming festivities.
