Amber Rose is taking part of the blame for Kanye West’s infamous outburst at the 2009 VMAs.
Rose, 42, admitted to fueling West’s shocking stunt — in which he interrupted a 19-year-old Taylor Swift as she accepted the award for Best Female Video — by hyping him up and encouraging him to drink prior to the awards show.
“[I’m] like, ‘you’re a f—king superstar. We need to get that [Hennessy]. We need to be on the carpet just taking shots of Henny on the carpet,’” Rose recalled telling Ye before the show on Tuesday’s episode of the “Ball in the Family” podcast with Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball.
“You the biggest thing in the whole world. I’m hyping him up,” she said. At which point, she says, the rapper quickly agreed and proceeded to grab the bottle.
“It kind of backfired because all of a sudden I’m just sitting there and then he’s on stage. I’m like, ‘Oh s–t. I was not expecting that.'”
“That’s naturally Kanye’s personality. Do I agree with how he did it? No,” she said. “But was he right? Yes. That’s how I feel.”
Still, Rose said she has spoken with Swift since the incident and that there’s no bad blood between the celebs.

The awards show moment went down in history and started a years-long feud between West and Swift. The pop star, 36, even took a swipe at him in 2023 while performing onstage during her Eras Tour.
West, 48, dated the Philadelphia-born stripper-turned-model from 2008-2010. The couple allegedly broke up due to the rapper’s interest in Kim Kardashian — who would later go on to become his wife.
In 2012, Rose called out the “Kardashians” star as a “homewrecker.” West and Kardashian later ended things in early 2021.
He moved on from the relationship with his current wife, Yeezy architect Bianca Censori.
After ending things with West, Rose began dating rapper Wiz Khalifa whom she married in 2013. The couple eventually called it quits after one year of marriage in 2014. They share 13-year-old son Sebastian Taylor Thomaz.
She eventually moved on with Alexander “AE” Edwards, with whom she shares 6-year-old son Slash Electric Alexander Edwards.
Rose has also been previously romantically linked to rapper 21 Savage and MGK.
