The Untold Truth Of Chanel West Coast

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Given her years spent in the entertainment industry, one would think Chanel West Coast knows plenty of influential people in the business. After all, her network had to have gone up a notch when the rapper was signed to Lil Wayne's label, Young Money Entertainment, in 2013, right? Not so fast. She opened up to Billboard about the experience that same year, saying, "I went to Miami, played him my music, and I just remember ... he sat back and said, 'Man that sh*t was stupid.' I was like, 'Yo. Wayne thought that sh*t was stupid.'" She added, "As soon as he said that, I knew I was in."

However, West Coast apparently wasn't as "in" as she thought. Despite her professional affiliations due to her position on a notable label, and the fact that "her ornery Pomeranian may be named Weezy," according to LA Weekly, "she's never had the real Weezy's phone number." Beyond that, at the time of the 2014 profile, "she feel[t] totally disconnected from Drake, Nicki Minaj, and the rest of Lil Wayne's powerhouse collection of artists."

The star even admitted that she found the situation "really annoying," explaining that she "feel[t] like the red-headed stepchild of Young Money." Maybe she should send out some old-school greeting cards to the other rappers in her sphere to see if that helps her make friends with her labelmates? Then again, maybe not.
