Amber Rose, the Philly-raised TV personality took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee to show her support for former President Donald Trump. Rose, known for her candid personality and first introduced to us by Kanye West, made waves with her politically charged speech on the opening night.
Rose’s address came with an unexpected appearance by former President Donald Trump himself, who was seen with gauze covering his right ear. Her speech marked a significant departure from her previous public stance, as she voiced strong support for Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
“I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States,” Rose declared on stage.

In a bold statement, Rose criticized the media, accusing them of spreading misinformation about Trump. “I’m no politician and I don’t wanna be, but I do care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump,” she said. “I know this because for a long time, I believed those lies.”
Amber Rose’s endorsement of Trump was one of the highlights of the RNC’s opening night, which also featured speeches from notable Republicans including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Alabama Sen. Katie Britt. Rose emphasized a message of unity and truth, challenging the narratives she believes have been perpetuated by left-wing propaganda.
“The left told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate the other side — the people who support him. When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth: American families were better when Donald Trump was president. We were safer, wealthier, and stronger,” Rose concluded, drawing applause from the audience.
Her speech was met with mixed reactions, especially considering her previous affiliations and the general expectations of her fan base. Rose’s pivot towards Trump and the Republican platform marks a significant shift, potentially influencing her followers and fans within the hip hop community.
Another notable speaker at the RNC was Sean O’Brien, the first Teamsters union president to address a Republican National Convention. His presence underscored a broader theme of working-class disillusionment with traditional political affiliations. “The American people aren’t stupid. They know the system is broken. We all know how Washington is run. Working people have no chance of winning this fight. That’s why I’m here today, because I refuse to keep doing the same things my predecessors did,” O’Brien stated.
As the 2024 election approaches, Rose’s surprising turn towards Trump will undoubtedly spark further debate and discussion within both the political and entertainment spheres.
