Kanye's ex Amber Rose to give pro-Trump speech at RNC 2024
Former reality TV star and Trump supporter Amber Rose announced on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, that she’ll speak at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next week.
“It’s True! ... #MAGA,” said the model, who famously had a past relationship with rapper Kayne West that ended in 2010 and briefly married to rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2013.
Her support for the former president’s third bid for the White House was solidified in a video released earlier this year. In the footage, Rose dons the distinctive red hat with the “Make America Great Again” slogan, “MAGA,” and is wearing a chunky gold necklace with a doll-sized head of the former president attached.

Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and married to Trump’s son, Eric, hinted at the presence of “unlikely attendees” at this year’s convention.
“I think you’ll be very excited, and I think very surprised actually to see a lot of the people that we’re going to have speaking at the convention this year,” the former president’s daughter-in-law said during a stop in Waukesha on Monday, according to ABC affiliate station WISN-TV.
The date and time of Rose’s appearance at the RNC has yet to be confirmed.

Rose recently posted a photo on Instagram posing with Trump and Melania and captioned it “Trump 2024,” as previously reported by USA TODAY, triggering a backlash on social media.
This marks a major political shift from 2016, when Rose called the GOP frontrunner a “f***ing idiot” in an interview with The Cut, saying, “He’s so weird. I really hope he’s not president.”
The convention is scheduled for July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the GOP will officially nominate Trump as the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election. The event is anticipated to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Wisconsin, including delegates from all 50 states and six U.S. territories.
