Blac Chyna slurred a statement on voting to TMZ Monday when leaving dinner with a friend. The conversation started out contradicting her final message on the topic.

"I don't give a f*** if you vote or not!" Chyna said. She was accompanied by a friend who seemed to be her designated driver, though the friend stayed in the car as Chyna approached the group of reporters. At first, the friend did try to pull Chyna away from the reporters.

"Okay, go out and register to vote. Get the word out," she said. As reporters spoke to her, she was concerned with relaying her message. "Shut up. Shut your mouth. Let's get the word out!"

Chyna seemed to seize the paparazzi following as an opportunity to share her voice on the topic.

"Since you all want to follow me, go out and vote," she said. "Figure out when it's your registration. When is the deadline? It's midterms. You know what I'm saying?"

Chyna continued the conversation with a topic close to her heart: "It's breast cancer awareness. My grandma died from that. And care is for the women to check themselves out. You know what I mean?"

She also shared the importance of a relationship with religion. "I keep quiet. I keep silent. You want to know why? Read up on your religion. Get more in tune. You know what I mean?"

The conversation with TMZ ended with Chyna threatening to stomp out the cameraman's light, which it looks like she did.

The model has not been vocal about politics in the past, but her decision to speak on the matter now follows in the footsteps of other celebrities. Taylor Swift announced her political interests in a lengthy Instagram post, which declared her voting alignment with Democrats. The Instagram post, shared on October 7, was followed by another in which Swift told her followers how to vote early. In recent days, the musician has shared photos of her fans who have voted via her Instagram story.

Ariana Grande is also a new voice in the political arena. The singer posted a small-text note on an Instagram story photo last week. The photo, which of a voting envelope, read "vote f******."

Celebrities have been encouraging voting in the midterms for months, but the pressure seems to have increased due to the Trump administration's latest attempt to define gender, as revealed in a Sunday New York Times article. Celebrities like Billy Eichner and Jazz Jennings have spoken against the pending change, which would acknowledge gender as an unchangeable definition, established at birth.
