Amber Rose Speaks on Kanye West Influence
Amber Rose Speaks on Kanye West Influence: Amber Rose has taken issue with Kanye West’s apparent control over his wife Bianca Sensori’s fashion choices, saying it’s a pattern she’s personally experienced.
“You definitely saw her that way,” Rose, 44, said on the March 5 episode of the Club She She podcast. “He did the same thing to me and Kim [Kardashian]. He’s the same. He wants other men to love his woman. That’s what he likes. He loves it.”
West, 47, and Rose dated from 2008 to 2010, before he moved in with Kardashian, whom he married in 2014. Their seven-year marriage, which ended in divorce in 2021, was marked by West’s strong influence on Kardashian’s wardrobe.
Kardashian admitted on a 2022 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, “Kanye was always dressing me, always styling me. “In the early 2000s, he would literally send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be… and he would send me a lot of reference photos. So it was always our thing.”
After his split from Kardashian, West began dating the 30-year-old Sensor, whom he married in late 2022. His influence on her wardrobe has been widely discussed, especially after she wore a 2025 Grammys outfit, in which West defended X or her style in response to criticism of him.
“He likes men to be mean to his wife; that’s what he likes,” Rose alleged on the podcast. “He wants all his friends to do it for his girlfriend. He wants everyone who walks into the room to think that his girlfriend or wife is the most liked person in the room.”
Reflecting on her own experience, Rose admitted that she followed West’s fashion dictates when they were together because she was young and attractive.
“Was I going to say ‘no’ to Kanye when I was so young?” he recalled. “Well, it’s like you’re buying me stuff. I look good and cool, but ever since I hung out with Kanye, when I was single, when I look at old pictures of myself, I have all his clothes. I wore baggy jeans, a big T-shirt, and a jacket. “I ransacked his room when he wasn’t home.”
Rose admitted that she often rebelled when West wasn’t around, choosing to wear his oversized clothes instead of the revealing ones he chose for her.
“Basically, I hated dressing like a whore,” she admitted. “I was crying. “I was in Italy or Paris or whatever, and I was crying and arguing with him and saying, ‘I don’t want to wear this. I don’t want to wear it.’”
According to Rose, West dismissed her concerns, insisting that he simply didn’t “get” fashion and that he was a “nerd.”
“It was like, ‘Okay, I don’t want to wear this yet,’” he said. “But I ended up wearing it and I ate it up on the Internet. The kids loved it.”
