Amber Rose Attributes “Sexpot” Image to Kanye West Influence
Amber Rose, the 40-year-old model and rapper, has opened up about her past relationship with Kanye West, attributing her provocative style during that time to the influence of the controversial musician.
Speaking on the ‘Just B with Bethenny Frankel’ podcast, Rose revealed that West, whom she dated from 2008 to 2010, encouraged her to dress in a “sexy” manner. She confessed that while she has always considered herself conservative, West’s interest in fashion and desire for her to exude sex appeal led her to adopt a “sexpot type of girl” persona during their relationship.
Rose acknowledged feeling impressionable and young at the time and admitted that she went along with West’s preferences, even though it didn’t align with her true self. Even after their breakup, Rose found it challenging to shed the “sexy” image imposed on her, feeling pigeonholed in the entertainment industry.
Reflecting on her early years of fame, Rose admitted to cringing at the thought of how she was perceived and the roles she was pressured to fulfill. Despite her efforts to break free from the stereotype, she encountered resistance from industry professionals who were intent on maintaining her provocative image.
Rose’s candid revelation sheds light on the influence of celebrity relationships and the pressures individuals face in the public eye. As she continues to navigate her career, Rose remains committed to staying true to herself and resisting external expectations imposed on her appearance and persona.
