Blac Chyna Reveals the Ins and Outs of Her Breakup with Tyga
On the latest episode of Nick Viall's The Viall Files podcast, Blac Chyna – who now goes by her birth name Angela White – delved into how she and her ex-fiance Tyga ended their three-year relationship in 2014 when he started dating Kylie Jenner.
"I feel like it ran its course and then he started talking to Kylie at the time, which she was like 16 or something,” the model said. “Yeah, I was engaged and stuff, so that's kind of what ended it."
White also revealed that she found out about Tyga and Jenner “the same way everyone else did, on the internet…the internet can be brutal."
She’s currently in a custody battle with the “Taste” rapper after he filed for sole legal and physical custody of their son, King Cairo. He also wants White to be granted visitation rights. She described the situation as “really hard” for her, especially because she was also close to Kim Kardashian.
White told Viall she was forced to leave the home she shared with Tyga even though he and Jenner didn’t confirm their relationship until mid 2015.
"It was actually when Tyga's friends threw me out of his house. Yeah, they packed my stuff up and put it in my, well, his truck at the time," White said.
“I never used to talk about these things, but I'm like, you know what? I think I'm kinda done with that and people need to hear my side. It's been years. I didn't come out and be a bitter baby mama, you know what I mean? I feel like time has passed.”
White admitted being with her kids is what brings her the most joy: the model also shares daughter Dream Kardashian with ex Rob Kardashian.
“I have my Kingy and my Dreamy and they really helped shape the woman that I am today. I’m so grateful for them. I love them,” she said.
Despite the past drama, White said she’s currently in "a positive space" with the Kardashian-Jenner family and is focusing on self improvement.
“Blac Chyna is the brand,” she said. “Blac Chyna was getting me in trouble. I wanted to separate the two. You get caught up in the makeup and the hair. On the day-to-day, I’m Angela. If I’m doing a hosting, I’m Blac Chyna.”
