Social media sensation and rapper, Chanel West Coast, is known for her provocative and alluring photos. Despite not having any explicit nude or intimate images, her revealing images often leave little to the imagination. Chanel, also known as Chelsea Chanel Dudley, is a multi-talented American singer and TV personality, with roots in Los Angeles, evident from her tattoo.
Alongside acting and modeling, Chanel’s claim to fame are the MTV shows “Ridiculousness” and “Fantasy Factory”. Her musical journey began in 2014 with her first single “Blueberry Chills”, followed by “Bass In The Trunk” and “Nobody” in subsequent years. Recently, she debuted two new singles, “Sharon Stoned” and “Anchors”. Chanel uses her Instagram platform to promote her new music and is a vocal supporter of the #FreeTheNipples movement. She wishes to be recognized more for her music than her TV appearances.
Chanel West Coast Departs From MTV’s ‘Ridiculousness’ to Create Her Own Shows
Chanel West Coast has decided to leave her co-hosting role on MTV’s “Ridiculousness” to focus on developing and starring in her own shows. She announced this exciting news earlier this week and is thrilled about her future projects.
As part of a comprehensive deal with Paramount Media Networks, MTV’s parent company, Chanel is set to produce both scripted and non-scripted series. In her recent Instagram post, she reassured her fans, promising them an upcoming reality series and thanking her long-time fans of “Ridiculousness”.
Chanel West Coast, before her stint on “Ridiculousness”, gained fame on the reality TV series “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory”. The show followed the life of entrepreneur and ex-professional skater, Rob Dyrdek, and his crew in his indoor skateboard park and office in L.A.
Born Chelsea Dudley, Chanel has been associated with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment. She has collaborated with various artists, including Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla Sign, French Montana, and YG, and released her debut album, “America’s Sweetheart”, in 2020. She was also a part of the VH1 reality show, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood”, in 2017.
Upon hearing Chanel’s announcement, former co-host Brim responded with clapping emojis, while actor and model Don Benjamin predicted her next steps would be significant. Some fans wondered why Rob Dyrdek was not mentioned in her announcement post.
The Heartbreaking Life Journey of Chanel West Coast
Chanel West Coast, a well-known host on MTV’s Ridiculousness with her co-stars Rob Dyrdek and Sterling “Steelo” Brim, has managed to carve a niche for herself in the industry. This famous female rapper is equally recognized for her infectious laughter and unique rhythm in her music.
Despite her fame, wealth, a stunning home in Los Angeles, a strong Instagram following of 3 million, and her own clothing line, LOL Cartel, Chanel’s life has not been all sunshine and roses. Behind her seemingly perfect life and cheerful demeanor, she has faced profound personal losses and guilt regarding the untimely death of one of her dear friends. Delve into the poignant life journey of Chanel West Coast.
Chanel West Coast Experienced a Devastating Loss at 19
In 2007, Chanel West Coast’s life was steeped in grief when her former boyfriend, Saul Garcia, was tragically murdered on December 5, along with his friend Kevin Deville. This “double homicide” took place at Hazeltine Avenue, in Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
The LAPD initially rushed to the scene following a report of gunshots fired. After they had left, another distressing call reported the sighting of “two young men lying injured on a grassy median next to the sidewalk”. Both Garcia and Deville, aged 21, succumbed to their injuries shortly after. Chanel, now in a relationship with Dom Fenison, was just 19 at the time and continues to remember her lost friends through commemorative posts on Twitter.
In 2009, she tweeted with heartfelt sorrow: “On 12/05/07 my ex-boyfriend and his best friend were shot and killed. I can’t believe you’ve been gone 2 years. I love u! RIP Saul & Kevin.”
Chanel West Coast Expresses Guilt Over a Friend’s Passing
Chanel West Coast faced another devastating loss in 2020 with the tragic death of her close friend Nicole Dubos from a drug addiction. Chanel expressed her grief and guilt through an Instagram post on February 4, 2020, where she shared her regret for not doing enough to prevent Nicole’s premature death.
“Nicole I am so apologetic I didn’t do more to assistance you. I’m so sorry that I was so hectic and expended with my own life and occupation that I hadn’t occupied the time to call you in over a year. I have never been more angry and sad about something I KNOW I could’ve helped prevent,” Chanel lamented.
In her remorse, Chanel felt she could have helped Nicole fight her addiction if she had been more aware of the severity of Nicole’s struggle. Chanel also made a heart-wrenching tribute to Nicole on Snapchat (available on YouTube), confessing her regret of not being a better friend and urging people to help their loved ones struggling with substance abuse.
A Verbal Showdown between Bhad Bhabie and Chanel West Coast
Failing to gain access to a trendy West Hollywood club is something Chanel West Coast clearly did not handle well. This was evident in November 2017, as captured by a timely TMZ crew, when she had a very vocal and public meltdown right in front of the cameras, bystanders, and the bouncers who had refused her entry. In a follow-up chat with the tabloid, which bizarrely took place in a bathtub, Chanel ruminated on the capricious nature of fame and named a few notable controversial figures.
“I believe you only get noticed when you behave like an absolute idiot,” she remarked. “We have individuals like the ‘Cash Me Outside’ girl and others who behave ridiculously and become famous for it.”
Casually throwing shade at Danielle Bregoli did not go unnoticed by Bhad Bhabie herself, and TMZ was more than willing to stoke that fire. “THE FEUD IS ON!!!” was the site’s headline, and the ‘Cash Me Outside’ girl was straightforward, “It’s bizarre that until an hour ago, I had no idea who that shabby woman was.”
It seems that Chanel West Coast has a tendency to provoke, even when the other party isn’t interested in participating.
