With Blac Chyna engaged to Rob Kardashian and pregnant with her first child, it came as little surprise last month when reports claimed that the famous model would be changing her name from Blac Chyna to Angela Kardashian to match her new life as Rob’s wife. However, new reports claim that Chyna may not be thinking of giving up her original celebrity name just yet.
As previously reported, Chyna’s real name is Angela Renee White and a rep for the model told the press last month about Chyna’s name change and said that Chyna planned to capitalize off the Kardashian name as much as she possibly can.
According to recent reports, Chyna has already submitted the legal paperwork to become a Kardashian, which will allow her to flaunt the Kardashian name, which carries a lot of weight in the business of being a “social media celebrity.” With the name, Chyna will be able to command bigger and better deals as she expands her brand in the world of entertainment services, television and movie appearances, and party hosting.
Although fans assumed Chyna would want to change her name as soon as possible, reports surfaced this morning claiming Chyna isn’t ready to give up her “Blac Chyna” moniker just yet.
Sources close to the celeb say that she only decided to legally file the paperwork for the name change already because she didn’t want anyone else to snag the name first and profit off her new title. The sources say Chyna is proud of the career and image she’s built as Blac Chyna and doesn’t want to just abandon her name and life just yet.
However, the sources say that Chyna understands that Kardashian is a more powerful name than her own and they say she was inspired to start the process of changing her name by her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Kim Kardashian, who trademarked the name Kim Kardashian West after she married rapper Kanye West.
Well, we assume Chyna will change her name around the time she finally ties the knot with Rob, which is expected to happen within the next year.
