Blac Chyna put her ex Tyga on blast Wednesday in a series of expletive-ridden Snapchats.
The reality star took to the social media app to make several serious — and somewhat confusing — claims about the rapper, alleging that he didn’t pay child support for their 4-year-old son King Cairo.
Chyna, 28, started her rant by writing that it was now “funny” to her how Tyga, 27, allegedly behaved following their split several years ago. (The two met when Chyna starred in Tyga’s “Rack City” music video in 2011 and welcomed King in October 2012. They got engaged shortly afterwards, but broke it off by August 2014.)
