Chanel West Coast In Bathing Suit 'Still Slaying'

Chanel flaunted her bare belly for the first time since announcing her pregnancy a couple of months ago. Sporting a floral print two-toned swimsuit from her new line, Chanel arched her back and tugged on her bottoms while showing off her growing baby bump.

"5 months pregnant where?🤷🏼‍♀️😂 still slayin in a bikini 👙," she captioned her pics.

Along with her baby bump reveal, Chanel also announced that she is launching a new swimwear line called Coasty Swim. The brand is an eco-friendly swimwear line, according to their brand new Instagram account. There is no date yet on when the products will be dropping but there are already a couple of swimsuit photos posted on the account.

The swimwear line is Chanel's latest business venture. She had a clothing line back in 2019 and a collection of smoking supplies for Daily High Club.

To ensure her body stays fit through her pregnancy, Chanel still maintains her active lifestyle. With a busy career and a new business to manage, she has a lot on her plate. But, the pint-sized beauty still finds time to do fun activities like walking, golfing, and attending various events.

Pregnancy is a great time to get active, says Mayo Clinic. Exercising during pregnancy can reduce backaches, prevent excessive weight gain, promote better sleep, and boost mood levels. Experts recommend pregnant women get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

While her club and rap music has been successful, Chanel doesn't plan on sticking to just one genre. In an interview with E!, she explained that she might do a completely different type of music in the future. Motherhood has inspired her to become the best version of herself.

"I really just feel inspired to make more serious and thoughtful music. I really want my child to be able to listen to my music and be proud and inspired when they hear it."

Haters and critics come with the territory, per Chanel, who claims she has learned to build a thick skin to survive in the industry.

"At first, it got to me a lot. It's literally bullying. I felt like I was back in school. 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, and it just comes with the territory and you gotta build up a thick skin. For the most part, I've just ignored it," she told Popdust.

In the same interview, Chanel also revealed that her rebellious nature has helped her achieve success in her creative projects.

"To be honest, I've always been rebellious by nature. I'm not the type to do [things I don't want to do]. So for me, I think being independent is just better for my personality. Because I'm very adamant about doing what I wanna do creatively."

When it comes to diet, Chanel isn't very hard on herself, especially now that she is eating for two. She has previously told Hollywood Life that she enjoys pizza and burgers but makes sure that she is still burning calories.

"I try to eat healthy but since I work out I still enjoy a large pizza by myself! But In & Out burgers and all those things, you can have those as long as you workout."

Choosing the right pieces to wear is important to flatter your figure. For Chanel, she makes sure that what she wears - from swimsuits to red-carpet dresses - highlights the best parts of her body.

"Finding the right clothes that flatter your body is everything because in the past, I wasn’t as aware," she told Hollywood Life.

Music will always be her first love and it looks like Chanel has plans to explore more of her career in the future. Chanel grew up around music because her dad worked as a DJ in New York. She took singing and dancing lessons when she was a kid and developed a great love for music.

She shared her love for her craft with Maxim. “It’s my passion, and no matter what, even if I never get a hit single, I’m going to keep making music. But, I like to say I think that big hit is right around the corner.”
