admin

Model and mum of one, Amber Rose addressed viral speculations she celebrated finalizing her divorce from her ex-husband and father of her son, Wiz Khalifa, in a recent interview with The Daily Beast. The 32-year-old, who GQ magazine infamously tagged ‘Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend and Wiz Khalifa’s baby mama’ recently, also cleared the air about misconceptions about her and more. Read excerpts below.

On celebrating her divorce at a strip club with ex-hubby, Wiz Khalifa

“It’s so fuckin’ weird! Why would we celebrate one of the worst times in our lives? The truth is we’d signed our divorce papers four, five months prior to that night. It took that long to go through the court system, and that initial day we went out is when it was extremely final through the court, so they said, ‘Hey! They’re celebrating their divorce!’ We would never celebrate our divorce. We mourned it. It was a very difficult time. Wiz literally just called me and said, ‘I’m gonna take my baby mama out. I love you, you’re my best friend, so let’s go spend some money on some strippers.’ And he knows that I won’t go to the strip club unless he’s spending at least $20,000. I just can’t do it. I’m a former dancer so I need to throw some money. So we went and we just had the time of our lives.

I think they closed at 2 a.m. if I’m not mistaken, and then we went out to eat. Then I slept over that night and we woke up with the baby in the morning, so it was cool. We are the best of friends. We’re actually better now that we’re divorced, which is weird, but it’s just worked out that way. He’s that dude.

…you know what? At the end of the day, we both really love our son and he’s the most important thing, so for us to be amicable and be friends and have family days for Sebastian—our son is the happiest when we’re together. We can’t be together in a marriage, but we can be there for our son and that’s what we do.”

On misconceptions about her

“People refer to me as a ‘slut’ because they assume, but they don’t know shit… When you’re in a relationship, especially with a famous man – I was married to Wiz [Khalifa] and we were together for four years – there are certain things that you stop yourself from doing. Wiz is a rapper so he talks about ‘fucking hos’ and doing shit like that, but I’m a feminist, so I have my views about that while also supporting my husband in his craft, and supporting him to be creative. That became very difficult. And now that we’ve separated, I was able to have my own voice and do me. And it worked.

The misconception – and I still hear this seven years later, to this day – is, ‘You’re only famous for Kanye.’ Initially, absolutely. In 2009, when they’re like, ‘Amber Rose – Kanye’s girlfriend,’ I was like, ‘OK, that’s pretty accurate. That’s what it is.’ But I didn’t ask to be famous, and I didn’t even talk or do interviews for two years, because I thought, ‘I don’t want this. I’m not famous.’ Over time, with going out in public, I realized it would never go away, so I didn’t have any choice but to progress. Everything I’ve done since then is my own doing, and I’ve worked my fucking ass off for everything I have. But Wendy Williams put Charlamagne on. Jay Z put Kanye on! But they don’t do that to men, and they always want to diminish my accomplishments and put them on someone else when I work really hard.”

“Oh, I’m not talking about that. I am not talking about that…I’m not talking about Kanye at all. I understand why you’re asking me that – you’re just doing your job – but I’m not going there.”
