Kanye’s MAGA Ex Reveals Her Role in His Taylor Swift Ambush
The Daily Beast • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Amber Rose, Kanye West's ex-girlfriend, revealed she encouraged West before his infamous 2009 interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, where he protested Swift winning Best Female Video over Beyoncé.
- Rose admitted she told West he was "the biggest thing in the whole world," and he consumed alcohol before unexpectedly jumping on stage, though she acknowledged the act was in line with his personality.
- The incident sparked a long-standing feud between West and Swift, including controversial lyrics in West's 2016 song "Famous" and public disputes involving Kim Kardashian and Swift.
- Despite Rose's support for Donald Trump and her MAGA campaigning, many Trump supporters mistakenly criticized her, reflecting her complex public image beyond the West-Swift saga.
- The feud remains unresolved over a decade later, with Rose attributing the start of the conflict to West's alcohol-fueled decision at the 2009 awards show.
