‘I got business to take care of!’ Blac Chyna takes apparent swipe at the Kardashians in new music video – after reaching settlement in her ‘revenge porn’ lawsuit against Rob Kardashian
Blac Chyna has taken an apparent swipe at the Kardashians in her new music video – days after reaching a settlement in her revenge porn lawsuit against Rob Kardashian.
The reality star and model, 34, dropped new rap single, Can’t See Me this week, eight days after her attorney claimed matriarch Kris Jenner, 67, was trying to ‘financially ruin’ Chyna, after she lost her defamation lawsuit against them in April.

Oh dear: Blac Chyna has taken an apparent swipe at the Kardashians in her new music video – days after reaching a settlement in her revenge porn lawsuit against Rob Kardashian
Amid her current legal woes, she tells workers: ‘I got important business out there to take care of and when I call you, I want you to come out there and shake your a**es proper’.
She also raps: ‘Since you can’t f**k with me that’s incest, couple commas on the check that’s no stress’.
The star then says: ‘Have you ever been paid? Have you had a millie in your face?’ – which appears to reference the settlement she will be paid by ex fiance Rob.
This comes eight days after Dailymail.com revealed Chyna has reached an 11th hour cash settlement with Rob in her lawsuit accusing him of posting ‘revenge porn’ of her online after they split up.

Happier times: This comes eight days after Dailymail.com revealed Chyna has reached an 11th hour cash settlement with R ob in her lawsuit accusing him of posting ‘revenge porn’ of her online after they split up (pictured 2016)
Just how much Rob – Chyna’s co-star in the reality show Rob and Chyna and father of her five-year-old daughter Dream – agreed to pay Chyna hasn’t been disclosed and will likely remain ‘confidential.’
But the settlement averts a jury trial that was scheduled to start last week at Los Angeles Superior Court.
As prospective jurors gathered outside the courtroom, neither Chyna nor Rob showed up – and nor did their attorneys – for what was supposed to be the process to select 12 men and women for a jury.
Instead, Judge Gregory Alarcon’s clerk announced that a settlement had been reached between the former couple.
Judge Alarcon scheduled a hearing August 12 when he’ll formally dismiss Chyna’s revenge porn lawsuit against Rob, which she filed almost five years ago.
The settlement came four days after a motion from Rob claiming the two had already agreed a settlement was thrown out by the judge.

Chyna had insisted that she’d never signed any such agreement.
And, after hearing arguments from lawyers on both sides, Judge Alarcon denied Rob’s motion to enforce the settlement he insisted they had reached.
In the settlement Rob claimed he and Chyna brokered, she supposedly agreed to drop the revenge porn lawsuit if he got her removed from another unrelated lawsuit brought against both of them by her former friend, Pilot Jones, who accused them of falsely outing him as gay.
His attorney, Eagan, argued Thursday that the settlement Chyna denied signing, was actually agreed on May 23 via email by her attorney Lynne Ciani.
And, he added, Rob lived up to his side of the bargain by getting Chyna removed from the Jones lawsuit.

‘We performed the request…..And we got the dismissal (of the Jones case), signed by Mr. Jones.’
But he said, Ciani was trying to renege on the agreement and push for the revenge porn trial anyway.
‘She is trying to re-trade after we performed our part of the agreement,’ said Eagan. ‘It’s a classic bait and switch with them saying now, ‘We want hundreds and thousands of dollars.’
Ciani called Eagan’s motion to enforce the settlement he claimed Rob had, ‘absurd’ and ‘preposterous.’
‘There is no binding agreement to enforce,’ she told the court Thursday. ‘They are trying to enforce an unenforceable agreement.’
She said that Chyna never agreed to give up her claim to financial damages for the revenge porn lawsuit if the Jones case was dismissed.
Legal woes: At a two-week trial in April, Chyna had sought $108 million in damages, accusing Kim Kardashian, her sisters Khloé and Kylie Jenner and their mom, Kris, of defaming her and plotting to get her TV show Rob & Chyna axed; Kris Jenner pictured in December 2021
‘We have a legal right to go to trial.’
Ciani added that the revenge porn case comes down to money.
‘What X amount of dollars would get this settled,’ she said. ‘If we came up with an amount to agree on, we would not be here today.’
Eagan proposed sending the case to a settlement judge for a ‘negotiated resolution.’
‘The parties do want to settle this case,’ he said. ‘Mr. Kardashian thought he had an agreement.
‘He doesn’t want his daughter in five or 10 years to read about a fight between her parents involving sexually explicit images.’
Ciani countered, saying that Chyna ‘wants her daughter to know that it is not OK to have nude photos posted against your will.
‘Revenge porn is serious – it’s a crime.’
Thursday’s ruling sending the case to trial was a major victory for Chyna who is still smarting over her loss to the Kardashian women in April when the jury in her $108 million defamation lawsuit against the billionaire family awarded her zero in damages.
Fighting back: ‘In this case, a Los Angeles jury reached a verdict that defendant Kris Jenner falsely claimed that “Chyna beat the s*** out of Rob’s face” and that defendant Kylie Jenner falsely claimed that Chyna would “proceed with using and physically abusing my brother’
Last week, Chyna’s lawyer, Lynne Ciani, told DailyMail.com that Jenner — the grandmother of Chyna’s daughter — is trying to ‘financially ruin’ her client.
At a two-week trial in April, Chyna accused Kim Kardashian, her sisters Khloé and Kylie Jenner and their mom, Kris, of defaming her and plotting to get her reality series axed.
While the jury did not completely exonerate the billionaire clan from blame, they did not feel Chyna deserved any damages and awarded her zero.
It was a massive defeat for the one-time model and now — rubbing salt into her her wounds — the Kardashians are demanding that she pay the $391,000 they say they spent fighting her lawsuit. And that doesn’t include their lawyers’ fees.
Attorney Ciani hit back Wednesday, telling DailyMail.com, ‘Kris Jenner’s attempt to financially ruin Angela White, the mother of her granddaughter Dream Kardashian, will not work.’
Partying: The four Kardashian defendants – Kylie, Kris, Khloé and Kim – attended nearly the entire trial, but when the verdict was read all were in New York at the Met Gala last month
Dream’s father is Kris’ son Rob Kardashian, Chyna’s former fiancé and her co-star on Rob & Chyna.
‘Under California law, costs are awarded to defendants only when they are without fault.
‘In this case, a Los Angeles jury reached a verdict that defendant Kris Jenner falsely claimed that ‘Chyna beat the s*** out of Rob’s face’ and that defendant Kylie Jenner falsely claimed that Chyna would ‘proceed with using and physically abusing my brother.’
‘The same Los Angeles jury reached a verdict that defendants Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner did not act reasonably and in good faith to protect their own economic interests in the Rob & Chyna show.
‘Angela White’s objectives in the litigation were to prove that Kris and Kylie Jenner’s statements were false and that all four defendants did not act reasonably and in good faith regarding Season 2 of Rob & Chyna.
‘Because Ms. White achieved these litigation objectives, defendants cannot be considered ‘prevailing parties’ under California law and they cannot recover their exorbitant litigation costs of $391,000 from Ms. White.’
According to a list of the purported expenses obtained by TMZ, the Kardashian–Jenner clan says Chyna owes enormous sums for a variety of trial costs including more than $9,000 for service of process, over $7,000 to host electronic documents, nearly $20,000 to pay the court reporter and $63,000 to cover depositions.
The single largest item was nearly $185,000 for ‘models, enlargements, and photocopies of exhibits.’
The family didn’t even bother listing a purpose for a final charge for almost $97,000, which they merely labeled as ‘Other.’
In addition to those expense, Chyna will be on the hook for the Kardashian–Jenners’ attorney fees.
According to the outlet, the judge who oversaw the lawsuit will have to sign off on the charges before Chyna will be required to cough up the money.
In response to the fees, the reality star’s mother Tokyo Toni is attempting to fundraise $400,000 to cover them.
Chyna had accused Kris and her daughters Kim, Khloé and Kylie of making statements to ruin or defame her reputation, along with trying to get her reality series canceled.
Though the jury ruled that the Kardashian–Jenners were at fault in some instances, Chyna was not awarded any damages.
Rob Kardashian’s ex was in the courtroom and showed off a seemingly emotionless face as the verdict was read, but the defendants, who had attended nearly all of the court sessions, skipped it to attend the Met Gala in New York City.
Although the jury did find that the Kardashians were not justified in telling Rob & Chyna producers that she had abused Rob, they didn’t believe that contributed to the cancellation of the series.
Kim was out of danger even before the verdict was reached, as the judge threw her out of the suit during deliberations.
Chyna has vowed to file an appeal.
