Amber Rose Reveals Famous Ex Who Pushed Her to Publicly Support Trump

Amber Rose, the model and actress who was perhaps the most unconventional speaker at the Republican National Convention, explained who prompted her to come out as a Donald Trump fan. Rose sat down for a recording of conservative commentator Candace Owens’ YouTube show, which will be released in full on Friday. In excerpts obtained by DailyMail.com, Rose said it was her ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa, who prompted her to publicly declare her support for Trump.

She did so on social media in May, writing “Trump 2024” in the caption of a photo of the model with the former president and first lady, all in formal attire. “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 prompted her to express her support for MAGA, saying it had become “an internet moment.”

The clip stops before Rose gives any more details than just Khalifa as her inspiration. She did admit, however, that she believed embracing Trump would result in her cancellation. “When I stood on a ledge and posted the picture of me, Trump, and Melania, that was my moment where I was like, ‘I’m (Expletive) done, I’m done,'” she recalled.

Rose also said that she wasn’t sure how she would be treated at first when she went 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 someone who’s from the left would be intimidated by that, because that’s maybe not the norm that we’re used to,” Rose said. Overall, she was fascinated by the experience.

She said one of Trump’s speechwriters helped her write her speech. “I wrote my speech with one of the writers that works for Trump,” she explained. “I told them everything I wanted to talk about. I didn’t want to talk about the border, I didn’t want to talk about any of that stuff. I just wanted to keep it like my mom, I wanted to talk about the economy, inflation, that kind of stuff.”

“My story — how I got to this side,” she continued. “And they wrote something about it and I put it in my own words, and that’s what everyone at the RNC saw.” During her speech, the model explained that her father had become a Trump supporter, someone she believed was racist, a characterization her father denied.

“So to prove my dad wrong, I did my research and looked at everything that has to do with Donald Trump,” she said onstage. “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, straight, it’s all love,” Rose said. “And then it hit me, these are my people, this is where I belong,” she added to cheers.

She told Owens she didn’t think the speech would be a hit. “I thought there were so many speakers, nobody knows me in the political world … and honestly the whole day before I spoke there were maybe a few young girls who were my fans and stuff, who wanted pictures, but nobody really knew who I was,” Rose said.

“And right after that speech, boy, I took like 3,000 pictures in four days,” she said. “I promise you it was from morning to night. Downstairs at the hotel, outside the RNC, walking to the RNC … it absolutely changed my life.” The rapper was still processing her newfound fame on the right. “I’m just a girl from Philly,” she told Owens.
