For many people, arguably Kris Jenner among them, it may seem as if
Blac Chyna came out of nowhere: the PR equivalent of Venus rising fully
formed from the foaming sea with an engagement ring in one hand and a
pregnancy announcement in the other. But look closer and you’ll start to
notice Chyna everywhere: dancing in rap
videos, sitting courtside at NBA
games, making appearances on your favorite reality
show, in the pews at the biggest celebrity
wedding
of the decade. While no one and everyone was watching, Chyna was making
calculated moves to close in on her own empire with a precision and
finesse that not even the Kardashians saw coming. This wasn’t a PR
breakthrough. It was a coup.
And so the Kardashians, a family
often accused
of stealing black men, black features, and black culture, got beat at
their own game by a black woman. And not just any black woman, but a
video vixen who was never supposed to see the inside of the country
clubs the Kardashians frequented growing up.
