We all know Blac Chyna as Rob Kardashian's fiancée and baby mama, but who was she before
she got tangled up in the Kardashian family's reality TV web?
Here’s what Blac Chyna was like before the fame.
Early life
Chyna was born Angela Renée White on May 11, 1988 in Washington, D.C.
She attended Henry E. Lackey High School in Maryland.
After high school, she studied at Johnson and Wales University in Miami.
Stripping career
Chyna started stripping at 18.
While in college in Miami, she performed at the Diamonds club under the alias "Cream."
In an interview with XXL, she said that she started dancing at the newer, slightly higher-end
King of Diamonds shortly after.
Modeling career
Chyna's modeling career took off in September 2010 when she graced the cover of Dimepiece
magazine and was featured in Straight Stuntin' and Black Men.
She nabbed the Model of the Year Award at the 2011 Urban Model Awards and continued
building notoriety in spreads for Urban Ink and Smooth Girl.
Music video vixen
In November 2010, Chyna appeared in the video for Kanye West's "Monster" as Nicki Minaj's
pink-haired, hooded body double.
A year later, Chyna appeared in Tyga's "Rack City" music video, and Tyga quickly became
her first fiancé and baby daddy.
Her next appearance was in Minaj's "Come on a Cone" video in October 2012.
Around the same time, Drake mentioned Chyna in his song "Miss Me"...

...and Nicki Minaj also name dropped her in 2-Chainz "I Luv Dem Strippers”...
(Nicki Minaj rapping)
...so Chyna was already becoming a notable name in the hip-hop scene.
Entrepreneurial efforts
In 2013, Blac Chyna launched her 88 Fin clothing line and her own brand of false eyelashes,
LASHED by Blac Chyna, which later became a full skincare line.
In 2014, she opened her LASHED Beauty Bar salon in Encino, California, offering a variety
of cosmetic services, in addition to makeup lessons.
Relationship with Tyga
Chyna and Tyga’s relationship officially began when she was in his "Rack City" video
in 2011, after which the pair were often spotted at events together.
The couple posed together for Urban Ink magazine in March 2012 and confirmed that they were
expecting a child shortly afterward.
They became engaged that August, and son King Cairo was born in October 2012.
Blac Chyna and Tyga split in October 2014 amid reports that he cheated on her with Kylie
Jenner, but the pair was rumored to be on-again off-again for quite some time.
Fling with Future
In early 2015, Chyna was briefly rumored to be dating rapper Future.
The chatter grew louder when she stepped out with the word "Future" tattooed on her hand.
Unfortunately for her, Future wasn't nearly as invested, and Chyna spent some time trying
to convince her followers that the ink was fake.
It wasn’t, according to TMZ.
Chyna has reportedly gotten the tattoo removed—and grown adept at hiding her hand.
Hookup with PJ Tucker
Though neither Chyna nor basketball pro P.J. Tucker ever confirmed a relationship, eagle
eyes on the internet realized something was up when they matched up Tucker's tattoos and
fancy watch to those of a gentleman on Chyna's Snapchat.
Why was this such a big deal?
Because Tucker was married.
After the rumors erupted, Chyna deleted all of her posts with the mystery man, and Tucker
temporarily deleted his Instagram account.
He returned with a vengeance, posting a picture of his happy family as his first snap back.
Criminal record
Under her given name of Angela Renée White, Chyna has quite a rap sheet.
Radar Online reports that she has more than 20 driver's license suspensions in Maryland,
which resulted in an arrest after being pulled over for speeding in 2008.
And according to USA Today, Chyna was arrested at an Austin, Texas airport on January 29th,
2016 for public intoxication after allegedly exhibiting odd behavior and possessing ecstasy.
A police report from the incident states that the model's "behavior was extremely angry,
cursing at everyone…”
"Are you still texting -------?! Yes or no!?"
"What are you even trying to do right now?"
"Alright you know what, ---- you cuz you're a ------- liar.
Cuz if you wasn't you woulda said no.
Bye, have a ------- nice life, by yourself, I swear to God!"
So, you know...business as usual.
