EMBATTLED DJ AND FORMER MANAGER OF GULLY BOP, SHAUNA CHIN, NOW GOES BY “CHIN CHIN!”

EMBATTLED emerging dancehall act Shauna Chin says going forward she’ll be using the name Chin Chin for all bookings and business transactions.

She was speaking with the Jamaica Observer in light of the legal tussle over the name with Jamaican international actress Shauna Chin.

“My name is Shauna. I cannot change that. If people see me in the streets and call me Shauna Chin, I am going to answer. But that is not the name I use whenever I am doing business or for bookings,” the female deejay said.

Chin Chin, whose given name is Laneice Shauna Anderson, is the former love interest of deejay Gully Bop.

 “I am using Chin Chin as I really want to separate myself from just people knowing me as Gully Bop’s ex,” she continued.

Chin Chin recently inked a three-year recording contract with America-based recording company Diamond Music Empire. She is also receiving favorable responses from her recent releases called Why and The Truth.

Last week actress Shauna Chin indicated her lawyers were preparing a cease and desist for the dancehall act to stop using the name. According to the actress, she officially trademarked her name in 2010. Chin has made appearances in the CBS’s drama Criminal Minds.
