Amber Rose and Kanye West’s relationship history
Amber Rose and Kanye West began dating in 2008, marking the start of a widely publicized relationship. Rose first appeared in the music video for Young Jeezy and Kanye West’s 2008 single, “Put On.” West also featured her in the unreleased music video for his song, “RoboCop.” The couple made frequent public appearances, including the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where they were seen on the red carpet together. Their relationship lasted until 2010, when they separated, with West reportedly focusing on his music career.
In a 2012 interview with Star magazine, Rose accused Kim Kardashian of being a factor in their breakup, stating, “She’s a homewrecker” (via RadarOnline). She alleged that Kardashian had been involved with West while still in a relationship with Reggie Bush.
West addressed Rose’s relationship with rapper Wiz Khalifa in his 2012 song “Cold,” where he referenced Kim Kardashian and acknowledged Rose’s new relationship. In a 2015 interview with The Breakfast Club, West commented, “It’s very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that’s with Amber Rose. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim” (via Complex).
In 2016, West reignited tensions by tweeting at Wiz Khalifa, stating, “You let a stripper trap you.” Rose responded, criticizing West for mentioning her son. Later that year, Rose and Kardashian met privately, resolved their differences, and posted a selfie together.
In October 2016, an alternate version of West’s song “Famous” leaked. The lyrics suggested Rose “still owed him sex,” though the final version referenced Taylor Swift instead. In 2017, Rose appeared on Everyday Struggle, reflecting on her past with West and the public scrutiny surrounding their relationship.
