Blac Chyna is setting the record straight on her breakup with Derrick Milano, and she’s making it clear there’s no messy drama behind the split. The Seen Her rapper, whose real name is Angela White, opened up in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight about why the couple decided to part ways.
“First of all, it was mutual, and I feel like sometimes in life people try to hold on to certain things, but I’m going in a different direction than Derrick — like we’re both doing our own things,” the 37-year-old explained.
Blac, who shares two children with ex-fiancé Rob Kardashian, said her focus right now is on healing and being present for her family. “I feel like I just really need to focus on myself and my kids and my spirituality and everything that comes with that,” the Doom artist continued.
And for anyone hoping for some behind-the-scenes drama, she’s quick to shut it down. “We’re really good friends still… I’ll still call, ‘Hey, you good? Is everything okay?” she shared, noting that she and Derrick remain on good terms.
Blac also stressed that there wasn’t any cheating or scandal that caused the breakup. “Nobody cheated. It was like an ongoing thing — growing in different directions, for sure,” she clarified.
She added that staying in a relationship past its expiration date can create problems. “Sometimes people stay in relationships too long. And then that’s toxic, and then you start to grow this hatred toward the next person.”
The split comes after a whirlwind year for Blac, who’s been making headlines for her personal transformation. She’s been candid about her journey toward a healthier lifestyle, removing cosmetic enhancements, embracing a more natural look, and leaning into her spirituality. The rapper has also been vocal about focusing on motherhood and carving out time for self-care.
As for Derrick Milano, the Grammy-winning songwriter and producer is also busy with his own projects. The two went public with their relationship last year, sharing affectionate posts and red-carpet moments, but now both say they’re ready to put their energy into separate paths.
While celebrity breakups often come with public feuds and cryptic social media posts, Blac’s approach is refreshingly different. She’s leaning into honesty, avoiding finger-pointing, and making it clear that sometimes relationships end simply because people grow apart.
Her fans have been quick to applaud her transparency, flooding social media with supportive comments and praising the way she’s handling the split.
In an industry where many relationships are built in the spotlight and crumble under it, Blac’s calm, drama-free explanation is a reminder that not all breakups have to be ugly — and sometimes, the healthiest move is just to walk away with mutual respect intact.
