Amber Rose announced in May that she would be endorsing Trump in the 2024 election. According to reports, the reality star is set to speak at the Republican National Convention the coming week.
“Amber Rose, a reality TV personality and model who shocked fans by endorsing Donald Trump for president earlier this year, is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention next week, a source familiar tells CNN,” Holmes tweeted on Monday.
The model, who had a past relationship with rapper Kanye West, that ended in 2010, has actively campaigned against sexual violence, and spearheaded the Los Angeles “SlutWalk” — a feminist movement against slut-shaming and sexual assault.

But in May of this year, she announced that she would be endorsing Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
The following month, she posted a photo of herself with Trump and former first lady Melania Trump, with the caption “Trump 2024” along with three American flag emojis. She also posted a photo of herself wearing a MAGA hat and a gold chain.
But West later said the meeting had grown heated with Trump becoming “perturbed” by his request and that he was angered by Trump’s criticism of his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.
Trump sharply criticized West and ramped up his efforts to distance himself as he called the rapper a “seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black,” according to his Truth Social platform.
West also faced backlash in 2022 over allegedly antisemitic social media posts. As a result, several brands, including Balenciaga, JP Morgan Bank, Gap, and talent scouts Creative Artists Agency, cut ties with him.
