Amber Rose Opens Up About Kanye West's 2009 VMAs Incident: Reflecting on Growth and Understanding
Amber Rose recently opened up about her role in the infamous 2009 VMAs incident where Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. During an appearance on the "Ball in the Family" podcast with Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball, Amber admitted to hyping Kanye up before the show and encouraging him to take shots of Hennessy. She was surprised when Kanye stormed the stage, but she stood by the point he was making, even though she didn't agree with how he did it.
The incident created a wild live-TV moment when Kanye declared Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time during Taylor's speech. Amber clarified that she didn't support Kanye's actions but acknowledged the message he was trying to convey. She mentioned that she later spoke with Taylor and there's no bad blood between them. Taylor even sent merchandise and concert tickets for Amber's son, who is a big fan of Swift.
Reflecting on the incident, Amber emphasized that everyone involved has matured since then and described the situation as a result of being young and figuring things out. The incident, which took place nearly two decades ago, serves as a reminder of the growth and changes that have occurred over the years.
