Amber Rose Says She’s ‘Partially’ to Blame for Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s Infamous VMAs Drama
Rose said she hyped West up before he interrupted Swift’s speech and believes Hennessy shots helped fuel the moment.
- On Tuesday, Amber Rose admitted on the "Ball in the Family" podcast that she partially fueled Kanye West's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards interruption by encouraging his alcohol consumption before the ceremony.
- Rose explained that she acted as West's "biggest cheerleader," urging him to bring Hennessy to the event and embrace his status as a "superstar" before the show began.
- When West jumped onstage to interrupt Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for "Best Female Video," Rose was shocked, recalling, "Oh s–t. I was not expecting that."
- West's proclamation that Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" should have won sparked a years-long feud between the artists, though Rose stated she and Swift never fell out over the behavior.
- Looking back, Rose clarified that she often acted as a peacemaker behind the scenes during their relationship, countering the "party girl" image media projected despite her role in that night.
