The woman, the myth, the legend... Who is this headline-grabbing gal we call Blac Chyna? Answer: many, many things. Chyna is a former exotic dancer, current businesswoman, girlfriend to many, friend to Amber Rose, and enemy of the Kardashian klan (excluding her current bf, Rob). In short, Blac Chyna is everything you hoped one person could fully embody (and more!). We're callin' it now, Blac Chyna is going to be the standout star of 2016. Here's everything you need to know about this bad b*tch...[Photo: Splash News]
Blac Chyna is not her real name (GASP!)
Back in her stripping days (aka, 2010), Blac Chyna went by the stage name Cream. She met a client named Black China, a man so-termed because he's black with "Chinese-looking eyes." Bla-I mean Cream, or, um Angela Renee White (at birth) graciously stole her client's politically incorrect name. She added a "Y" and removed the "K" to make it her own.

Blac is Amanda Bynes' beauty muse
At the height of Amanda Bynes' public insanity and social media ranting, the former child star sat down with InTouch to explain the influence behind her new look (which included a bevy of colorful wigs, platinum extensions, and a set of dimple piercings). Bynes came right out with it, telling the tabloid, “I wanted to look like Blac Chyna.” Notice those cheek piercings!

Blac is an entrepreneur
BC owns LASHED, a false eyelash line and beauty bar in Encino, CA. I'm willing to say LASHED has the most amazing website I've ever seen — book an appointment today!

Blac Chyna and Tyga seemed like a forever couple
Blac Chyna is Tyga's "Rack City" muse — does love get any truer than that? Tyga detailed their relationship for Rap-Up in 2013, saying, “We got a real gangsta relationship. Ya’ll [sic] not gonna see us doing no crazy, corny stuff. We go to the strip club together, do stuff like that.” Despite the WILD drama surrounding their split, Tyga is supportive of BC and her new beau Rob Kardashian. When asked to address the "IT" couple, Tyga told reporters, "Everybody deserves to be happy."

Blac and Tyga have a son
Chyna and Tyga welcomed son King Cairo in October 2012. Remember 2012? Tyga's future girlfriend Kylie Jenner was a tween at the time.

Kim Kardashian is her former bestie
Some serious Romeo and Juliet drama is goin' down in Kardashian land right now. But before Blac Chyna's then-boyfirend Tyga started going after the K-girls' littlest sister Kylie, Chyna was just another Kim K pal. They bonded over their Calabasas address and baby mama status with respective rappers Kanye West and Tyga.

She is rap's favorite former stripper
Blac Chyna is a rap legend in her own right. In 2010 she was name-dropped in Drake's "Miss Me": "Yea, I'm in the city of the purple sprites/ Some one tell Meliah I'm on fire/ She should work tonight/ Call up king of diamonds and tell china it'll be worth the flight." And in 2012, Chyna appeared in Nicki Minaj's "Come On A Cone" music video. Fun fact: Kim Kardashian has a cameo in that same vid!

Blac Chyna knows EVERYONE
Miss Chyna's relation to the Kardashian fam/empire is strangely incestuous, and we just keep finding new connections! Let us help untangle this web of deceit: Blac Chyna is the former fiancee of rapper Tyga, with whom she shares a son. While BC was dating Tyga, she hung out with fellow rap girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Tyga reportedly left Chyna for then-underage sister of Kim, Kylie Jenner. This caused Kardashian to sever all ties with Chyna. There's been an undercurrent of hatred running between the Kardashian/Jenners and Miss Chyna since Kylie began dating Tyga. Now, Jenner's half-brother Rob Kardashian is dating Tyga's dreaded ex, which is *OBVIOUSLY* a huge betrayal, and has led to the FEUD OF ALL FEUDS that is now upon us. In case you were looking for yet another layer of intrigue, BC was Nicki Minaj's body double in the music video for "Monster" which featured Kanye West (brother-in-law to Rob and Kylie!) MIND = BLOWN.
