Blac Chyna’s mother, Tokyo Toni, lashed out at Caitlyn Jenner in a transphobic, profanity-filled video posted on Twitter.
Toni, real name Shalana Jones-Hunter, appeared to be responding to Jenner’s recent appearance on “The View.” While serving as a guest panelist on the show last week, Jenner commented on her ex-step son, Rob Kardashian’s, relationship with his ex-fiancée, Chyna.
Jenner called Kardashian “stupid” for posting explicit photos of Chyna on the internet after accusing her of cheating on him. Jenner also claims to have never met Chyna or the couple’s eight-month old daughter, Dream.
In a video posted on WorldstarHipHop’s Twitter account, Toni misgenders Jenner and calls the reality star a slew of transphobic slurs. She also accuses Jenner of lying about having never met Chyna.
“Did that motherf*cking n*gga, Caitlyn Jenner, aka Brucey, yeah big balls little d*ck him,” Toni says. “This motherf*ckin n*gga, cus he’s a man. Dressing up and pretending to be a woman.”
“You gonna lie and say you don’t know Blac Chyna. N*gga you was walking around switching in the park with me, you f*cking f*ggot. Call me b*tch I got some words for you a**,” she continues.

Gay Men’s Chorus celebrates 45 years at annual gala
‘Sapphire & Sparkle’ Spring Affair held at the Ritz Carlton
The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington held the annual Spring Affair gala at the Ritz Carlton Washington, D.C. on Saturday. The theme for this year’s fete was “Sapphire & Sparkle.” The chorus celebrated 45 years in D.C. with musical performances, food, entertainment, and an awards ceremony.
Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington Executive Director Justin Fyala and Artistic Director Thea Kano gave welcoming speeches. Opening remarks were delivered by Spring Affair co-chairs Tracy Barlow and Tomeika Bowden. Uproariously funny comedian Murray Hill performed a stand-up set and served as the emcee.
There were performances by Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington groups Potomac Fever, 17th Street Dance, the Rock Creek Singers, Seasons of Love, and the GenOUT Youth Chorus.
Anjali Murthy, a member of the chorus and a graduate of the GenOUT Youth Chorus, addressed the attendees of the gala.
“The LGBTQ+ community isn’t bound by blood ties: we are brought together by shared experience,” Murthy said. “Being Gen Z, I grew up with Ellen [DeGeneres] telling me through the TV screen that it gets better: that one day, it’ll all be okay. The sentiment isn’t wrong, but it’s passive. What I’ve learned from GMCW is that our future is something we practice together. It exists because people like you continue to show up for it, to believe in the possibilities of what we’re still becoming”
The event concluded with the presentation of the annual Harmony Awards. This year’s awardees included local drag artist and activist Tara Hoot, the human rights organization Rainbow Railroad as well as Rocky Mountain Arts Association Executive Director, Dr. Chipper Dean.
