Blac Chyna was blinded by dollar signs during her OnlyFans days.
The model, 37, opened up about the “greed” she experienced as a creator on the platform in TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans, which premiered on FOX on Tuesday, September 2.
“It’s like, ‘I need more, I need more, I need more,’ when I really didn’t need it,” Chyna (real name: Angela White) explained. “I knew that if I sent private messages with [my] top off, I would get more money.”
Chyna added that many women sign up for OnlyFans believing that they will only post bikini photos, but the often lucrative platform tends to pull creators in deeper.
All in the past? Blac Chyna subtly seemed to dismiss her drama with the Kardashian-Jenner family in a new interview with a shout-out to Kim Kardashian. Chyna, 34, wore a T-shirt baring a sultry photo of Kardashian, 42, from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2023 ad campaign during an interview with Hollywood Unlocked. In an Instagram […]
“They’re going to keep asking for more things. They wanna see more more, more,” she said of OnlyFans subscribers, later adding, “There’s literally no future in OnlyFans.”
The Rob & Chyna alum was an OnlyFans creator from April 2020 to March 2023. While reports circulated in 2023 claiming Chyna made $240 million from the platform, she clarified in an interview with Forbes at the time that it was actually around $2 million.
“I had opened it because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. Like, what’s about to happen?’ And I had just recently done a TV show called Only Cams, where I produced it and filmed on it just a little bit,” Chyna explained.

Chyna added that she “didn’t want to do it at first,” but she “had so many lawsuits” that she was “dealing with” at the time. In 2017, Chyna filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. A jury sided with the Kardashian-Jenner family in 2022. Additionally, Chyna and ex Rob Kardashian went up against each other in revenge porn and assault lawsuits, which were settled in 2022.
“Aside from that, I’m like, ‘I gotta figure out, how can I continue to have my house, take care of my kids, do everything I need to do.’ So that’s why I started the OnlyFans,” Chyna, who shares son King Cairo, 12, with ex Tyga and daughter Dream, 8, with Rob, 38, continued.
As OnlyFans made a name for itself as an online subscription service for content creators, many established stars took advantage of their large audience by joining the website. OnlyFans allows people to put out any sort of content, including nude photos, at a price they think their followers will pay to view them. From monthly […]
“I’m not doing OnlyFans anymore, I’m kind of past that,” Chyna told Daily Mail in March 2023 after she quit the subscription service. “It is one of those things where I did what I needed to do at that moment because of the circumstances I was in.”
Chyna added, “Besides, with me being baptized, that’s just not what God will want me to do. It’s kind of degrading. Now I’m just going by faith. I’m not even really going by the Blac Chyna way or the Angela way. Let me just let God lead me. I thought, ‘Let me dig deep and see what it is that I’m doing wrong.’ Because obviously there’s something I’m not doing right, even if I think I am. Now I’m doing the right thing to the best of my ability so I can become whole.”
TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans is now streaming on Hulu.
