Amber Rose face backlash after claiming Beyoncé stole her RNC speech
American model and rapper, Amber Rose, is facing backlash for alleging that Beyoncé stole her speech from the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Rose made this accusation in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring Beyoncé’s speech at Kamala Harris’s rally in Houston, Texas, on October 25. In the video, Beyoncé stated that she did not attend the rally as a “celebrity” or “politician,” but rather as “a mother, who cares deeply about the world [her] children and all of our children live in.”
During Rose’s speech at the RNC, where she endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump, she also shared a personal touch by identifying herself as “a mother,” emphasizing that her entire world revolves around providing for her children.
“She wanna be me so bad. Literally took my whole speech,” Rose wrote in her comment, along with a rolling eyes emoji.
Fans didn’t hold back in mocking Rose for drawing comparisons between herself and the “Halo” singer.
“Bey definitely don’t wanna be you,” one claimed in the Instagram replies, while another added: “Amber please don’t start your s***.”
“Girl now you know she definitely does not want to be you,” a third responded. “Giving delusional.”
Following Rose’s comment that quickly went viral, she later clarified that she was merely joking and had no intention of believing Beyoncé had stolen her speech.
“I was literally trolling,” she told TMZ on October 27. “I troll with my friends all the time. I did not think that was going to be international news when I posted that comment. But I love Beyoncé, I know Beyoncé. We’ve hung out a couple times, she’s an amazing girl.”
She then highlighted the absurdity of her comment making headlines, insisting it was all a joke.
“I was not [serious],” Rose added about her comment. “A delusional person would be serious.”
During Harris’s rally on Friday, centering on women’s reproductive rights and healthcare, Beyoncé joined the stage to commend the Democratic nominee as a “woman who has been advocating for what this country truly needs right now—unity.” She later shared how her own experiences of motherhood influenced her decision to vote for Harris.
