Angela Renée White, born 11 May 1988 in Washington, D.C., is an American model, television personality and entrepreneur known professionally as Blac Chyna. Working as an exotic dancer in Miami, including at the King of Diamonds club, she rose to prominence in 2010 as Nicki Minaj's stunt double in Kanye West's 'Monster' music video and after Drake name-dropped her in 'Miss Me' that year, leading to covers for Dimepiece, Straight Stuntin and Black Men's Magazine. She trained at JLS Professional Make Up Artist School, launched the online boutique 88fin and, in 2014, her makeup brand Lashed by Blac Chyna and a beauty salon in Encino, Los Angeles. She starred with Rob Kardashian in the E! reality series Rob & Chyna in 2016. From 2022 she publicly returned to using her birth name, Angela White, documenting sobriety, baptism and the reversal of cosmetic procedures, and in 2026 she announced a memoir, Sober Mine.
