Amber Rose Says She Hyped Kanye West Before 2009 VMA Interruption of Taylor Swift

The remarks revive questions about responsibility for the 2009 VMA interruption.

Overview

  • Rose, speaking on the Ball in the Family podcast Tuesday, said she urged Kanye West to bring Hennessy and take shots on the red carpet before the show.
  • She said the plan backfired and that she was shocked when he suddenly went onstage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech.
  • Rose said she disagreed with his onstage move but believed his point that Beyoncé deserved the award.
  • She said she later spoke with Swift and there is no bad blood, adding that Swift sent merch and concert tickets for her son.
  • TMZ, Page Six, Complex, and AllHipHop reported the comments and noted no new responses from West or Swift as coverage again outlines the 2009 moment when West cut off Swift to praise Beyoncé.
