Blac Chyna – whose real name is Angela Renee White – has made lots of headlines for her feud with Kylie Jenner and now for her new relationship with Kylie’s half brother, Rob Kardashian. This girl seems to be full of surprises, which is why we have a list of 9 things you probably didn’t know about her!
She used to be a stripper and went by the name Dora Renee.
When she first started urban modeling, she called herself “cream.” She gave herself the name Blac Chyna after she met a man at the strip club where she worked who called himself Black China because he was black and had “Chinese-looking” eyes.
She was born in Washington, D.C., but moved to Miami when she was 18 to go to school. She attended Johnson and Wales University in Miami.
She graduated from JLS Professional Make Up Artist School in May 2012.
She launched an online boutique called “88fin,” which sells products from her clothing line. She has her own brand of adhesive eyelashes called “LASHED by Blac Chyna.” She bought a beauty bar in Encino, California, where she offers makeup courses. She also opened her own Lashed Bar, which offers eyelashes, eyelash extensions, lash strips, make up, facials, threading, eyebrow tinting, body waxes, eyelash tinting, spray tans, body wraps, and facial threading.
She met Tyga, her ex fiancé, at Miami’s famous King of Diamonds strip club where she was working at the time. “When I first met her, it was hard to see her. I was on the road – I think we had a party over there at [King of Diamonds strip club] and she gave me her number,” he said. They began dating when she appeared in his music video for “Rack City.”
In August 2011, she won Model of the Year at the Urban Model Awards.
She played Nicki Minaj’s stunt double Kanye West’s music video for “Monster,” which featured Minaj, Jay Z and Rick Ross.
She’s only 5’2 and 123 pounds.
