Amber Rose has recently opened up about her tumultuous relationship with rapper Kanye West, specifically shedding light on the emotional toll his influence had on her fashion choices. Speaking on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Rose discussed her experience with West making her wear revealing outfits, often pushing her to dress in a way that made her uncomfortable. Rose recalled a particularly emotional moment when West insisted she wear a see-through dress, leading her to cry over the outfit.
The Power Dynamics Behind West’s Fashion Choices
Rose explained that Kanye West has a distinctive view on fashion, particularly when it comes to his partners. According to Rose, West is known to dress his girlfriends and wives in minimal clothing, wanting them to be the center of attention. She revealed that West enjoys seeing other men desire his woman, saying, “He wants other men to want his woman… he likes that. He wants everybody that when you walk in a room, that his girlfriend or wife is the most desirable.” Rose further clarified that this was not just a one-time request, as it was consistent during her relationship with him and also affected Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife.
Struggling with the Pressure to Please
Despite her discomfort, Rose confessed that she complied with West’s demands because she was young and wanted to please him. She admitted, “I was young and I’m gonna tell Kanye now… when I’m that young it’s like okay, you’re buying me this stuff, I do look pretty and cool.” However, Rose also revealed her personal rebellion, stating that when West wasn’t around, she would raid his closet and wear his baggy clothes, opting for a more casual, comfortable style.
Crying Over the See-Through Dress
One of the most emotional moments Rose recalled was when she was made to wear a revealing, see-through dress in Paris or Italy. She cried and argued with West, telling him she didn’t want to wear the outfit. West, however, convinced her it was “fashion” and told her, “I’m a genius,” leading her to wear the dress despite her reservations. The outfit became a subject of internet ridicule, but Rose’s vulnerability in sharing this story reflects the pressure she felt during their relationship.
