Amber Rose, the model and actress who was likely the Republican National Convention’s most unconventional speaker, explained who gave her the push to out herself as a Donald Trump fan.
Rose sat down for a taping of conservative commentator Candace Owens’ YouTube show, which will be released in full on Friday.
THE SUPERSTAR REVEALED
In clips obtained, Rose said it was ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa, who pushed her to publicly show her support for Trump.
She did so on social media in May, writing ‘Trump 2024’ as a caption of a photo of the model with the former president and first lady, all in formal wear.
‘My ex-husband actually told me to do it, Wiz,’ Rose told Owens.
Owens had asked Rose – whose other famous ex is disgraced rapper Kanye West – what compelled her to show her support for MAGA, commenting that it became a ‘moment on the internet.’
The clip cuts off before Rose divulges more details beyond naming Khalifa as her inspiration.
SHE HAS HER FEARS FOR SUPPORTING TRUMP
She did admit that she believed embracing Trump would result in her getting canceled.
‘When I went out on a ledge and I posted the picture with me, Trump and Melania that was my moment where I was like, “I’m f***ing done, I’m done,”‘ she recalled.
Rose also said that at first-glance she wasn’t sure how she would be treated as she headed to the Milwaukee convention, noting that she looked around and saw ‘a lot of white men in suits.’
‘And so I can understand why maybe a person of color or somebody who comes from the left would be intimidated by that because maybe that’s not the norm that we’re used to be around,’ Rose said.
