Amber Rose has spoken out about her relationship with Kanye West, claiming that the rapper pressured her into wearing provocative outfits during their time together. The 41-year-old model, who dated Kanye from 2008 to 2010, revealed on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe that she once cried after being forced to wear a see-through dress against her will.
“He Wants His Woman to Be Desired”
Amber alleges that Kanye has a pattern of dressing his partners in revealing outfits, a trend that continued with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and current partner Bianca Censori.
“Kanye is for sure dressing her like that,” Amber said. “Yeah, he did the same thing to me and Kim. It’s just who he is.”
She claimed that Kanye enjoys making his partners objects of public admiration:
“He wants other men to want his woman… He wants all his friends to want to f** his girlfriend. He wants everybody, when you walk in a room, that his girlfriend or wife is the most desirable.”*
Feeling Forced Into Fashion Choices
Amber recalled that as a young woman, she felt obligated to comply with Kanye’s vision, even when she was uncomfortable.
“When you’re that young, it’s like okay, you’re buying me this stuff, I do look pretty and cool. But if you look at old pictures of me when I was dating Kanye but I’m out by myself, I have all his clothes on. I have baggy jeans, a T-shirt, a big jacket. I raided his closet when he wasn’t home because I used to hate to dress like a w***.”*
She detailed a painful memory of being pressured into a sheer dress while overseas:
“I cried. I remember crying. I was in like Italy or Paris or something and I remember crying and arguing with him, saying, ‘I don’t f***** want to wear this s***, I don’t wanna wear it.’”*
According to Amber, Kanye dismissed her concerns, responding:
“You don’t understand, it’s fashion, I’m a genius.”
Despite her protests, Amber ended up wearing the outfit and was heavily criticized online.
The Pattern Continues?
Kanye, 47, has received widespread backlash for his reported influence over Bianca Censori’s wardrobe. The 30-year-old model has been seen in increasingly revealing and minimalist outfits, sparking debates over whether Kanye is dictating her style.
Their high-profile appearances, including Bianca’s nearly-nude look at the Grammys, have further fueled speculation about Kanye’s control over his partners’ fashion choices.
Amber’s Message on Autonomy
Amber’s revelations highlight the ongoing discussion about control, fashion, and autonomy in celebrity relationships. She has consistently advocated for women’s empowerment and self-expression, encouraging others to prioritize their comfort over external pressures.
What’s Next?
With Kanye continuing to make headlines for his influence over Bianca’s style, Amber’s comments add another layer to the ongoing discourse. Whether Bianca will address the speculation remains to be seen, but Amber is making it clear—she won’t stay silent about her past.
