Family
Tokyo Toni, who is of Caribbean descent, was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on October 12, 1969. Her daughter, Blac Chyna, is well-known for being a reality TV personality and the former partner of Rob Kardashian, with whom she shares a child. This has brought notoriety to her mother as well.
Shalana was born and raised in Santo Domingo, The Dominican Republic, by parents of African descent. While she identifies as American, her cultural background is Caribbean.
She completed her high school education in 1977 and went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree from a university in 1981. Subsequently, she began working to sustain herself financially.
Career
There is a great deal of information circulating regarding the involvement of this woman in the US Army in the past. It is indeed accurate that Shalana enlisted in 1991 and served for several years before embarking on her entrepreneurial ventures.
At present, she is recognized as a female entrepreneur running her talent agency, On My Grind Entertainment. Additionally, in 2014, she established Promotions LLC and holds the position of CEO.
However, Tokyo Toni‘s major recognition came from her appearances on reality television, where her daughter became a regular on various shows showcasing their lives and ultimately got engaged to Rob Kardashian.
In 2016, Toni joined the cast of Rob & Chyna, a reality show documenting the daily lives of Chyna and her well-known partner. Three years later, she also became a member of The Real Blac Chyna, a series showcasing her daughter’s personal and professional endeavors.
Throughout the show, it became evident that the mother-daughter relationship was far from ideal, as they frequently faced conflicts and scandals. Additionally, they also had a few public fights on social media.
Despite their past issues, it appears that they have reconciled as Chyna has been showing support for her mother on Instagram and celebrated her happiness when she remarried.
Personal Life
Previously, Shalana had been involved in several romantic partnerships. The most significant of these was during her youth when she was in a relationship with Eric Holland. Eventually, Shalana and Eric became the parents of Blac Chyna, who was named Angela Renee White.
Unfortunately, Shalana and Eric’s relationship did not last. It is common knowledge that Eric was regularly involved in illegal behavior.
Tokyo Toni’s romantic life after that period involved dating other individuals. In 2019, she participated in a reality dating show called Finding Love ASAP! on the Zeus network. During the show, she openly shared her bisexuality and had male and female contestants vying for her affection.
Tokyo Toni is currently married to Marcellus Hunter. They tied the knot for the first time in 2012 but eventually divorced in 2017. Following threats of physical harm from Toni, Marcellus obtained a restraining order against her.
After some time, they reconciled and decided to remarry. They marked their reunion with an extravagant wedding. Shalana’s only offspring is Blac Chyna.
Tokyo Toni has gained attention in recent years thanks to her daughter’s growing celebrity status. Additionally, she is a grandmother to both Chyna’s son, King Cairo (fathered by Tyga), and her daughter Dream (whose father is Rob Kardashian).
Net Worth
In 2024, the entrepreneur is believed to possess a net worth of $4 million, which she acquired through her various business pursuits. Shalana currently resides luxuriously in Washington DC, USA.
