MySpace was definitely the place to be in the s. As an aspiring rapper, Chanel West Coast was spending a majority of her time there trying to promote her own music. She was constantly expanding her network online, adding people left and right, and one of her new connections led her straight to the skateboarder Rob Dyrdek.
As he describes it, Chanel West Coast "talked to my cousins and they were like, 'She's so dumb, she thinks she's a rapper,'" Dyrdek told SFGate in a since-removed interview.
However, he didn't agree at all. He saw something in the aspiring musician and was immediately drawn to her. From there, their mutual fan-ship quickly morphed into a beautiful friendship. Rob Dyrdek has never had much to do with rap music, but he clearly knew he needed Chanel West Coast in his life. Even though Dyrdek presumably knew the job wasn't the best fit for Chanel, he offered her a receptionist job and managed to make the job sound appealing.
Yet, as their friendship grew, so did her role on the television series. She eventually became one of the stars for seven seasons, and the rest of her career took off from there. While many MTV fans can only dream of starring on the network, Chanel West Coast was hesitant to head into the entertainment industry alongside Rob Dyrdek. Instead of being recognized as a serious rapper, viewers were beginning to recognize her as a reality star instead.
Because of that alone, her music career seemed to take a backseat. Yet, her success on the small screen seemed to be only the beginning. Before her fame and fortune, Chanel West Coast had always classified herself as a rapper.
Immediately after Rob Dyrdek met her, he realized, "She doesn't just think it, she really believes it," he explained to SFGate in an interview that's no long on the site , "and she's actually good at it. Her determination to make something more of herself is exactly what drew Dyrdek to her.
She was hustling and bustling, selling tickets to her own shows, and spending all day on social media to connect with other creative people in the industry. Dyrdek experienced something similar on his way to becoming a professional skateboarder. The duo's drive eventually led to starring roles on a second show for MTV called Ridiculousness in Any Fantasy Factory fan has dreamed of all the fun they could have in Rob Dyrdek's offices, and eight lucky kids made this dream their reality.
These kids' biggest wish was to spend time with Dyrdek and Chanel West Coast, and the stars were pretty excited about it, too. The team set up the ultimate experience that they and the kids would surely remember forever.
Unfortunately for West Coast, she was tasked with being dropped from an up-high dunk tank. While she wasn't super excited about it, she conquered her fear and fell down into the iconic foam pit. The kids all got in at a good time, too.
Unfortunately, no one else will ever get to dream of entering the Fantasy Factory. Not too long after airing this series finale, the iconic offices were destroyed via Twitter. Though Ridiculousness wasn't what they were used to in the reality show realm, this viral video show became one of the most popular to ever air on MTV. While the show may seem like an underrated cable series, it's actually very successful and gets a pretty good reception from the public. You'd be surprised to know how much Chanel gets paid per episode.
Rob Dyrdek and Chanel West Coast have been friends for a long time. The two met through MySpace and through mutual friends. Early on, Dyrdek already saw potential and talent in Chanel, which led him to give her the opportunity to work on TV. Fans loved Chanel's bubbly and fun personality, so Dyrdek casted her again for Ridiculousness , which he also produces.
In an interview , the singer expressed that it hasn't been easy trying to make it big in the music industry and she has to deal with a lot of critics. It's literally bullying But I've been doing music so much longer than TV so I never thought it would be a hard transition. Since I was little all I wanted was to be an entertainer, to be in music and act She would release her first studio album Americas Sweetheart , where she would address the issues of white privilege and her struggles as an artist.
She has diversified herself as an entertainer, which has created multiple streams of income for her. The majority of her wealth is from her success as a Tv personality, and to this day, she is a co-host on Ridiculousness. Your email address will not be published.
