Amber Rose Wants $20M From Kanye For Influencing His Music
Kanye West's ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose, feels she should have been compensated for influencing her ex's music.
Last Wednesday, the model appeared on "The Jason Lee Show" and talked about her past relationship with West, among many other topics.
According to her, she and Ye were dating when he was recording his album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" in 2009. It was released the following year.
"I should have [gotten] $20 million for 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.' But I got nothing," Rose said during the interview.
She also told Lee that it was her suggestion to include Nicki Minaj on "Monster" from Kanye's "MBDTF" album.
"I don't think I got credit for that. I mean, I didn't do it for credit. And that's not to take -- Nicki, she's amazing when it comes to writing raps," the model explained.
A few years after inspiring "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," Rose alleged that the wax figure used in West's 2016 song "Famous" from "The Life of Pablo" album resembled her.
"I should have gotten money for the wax figure he used without my consent. Butt naked! But I didn't get [anything]," the video vixen said.
She continued, "I should have been compensated in some way for using my likeness and so many songs and the wax figure."
Meanwhile, the model took the blame for the "Fade" rapper's 2009 MTV VMAs stunt, where Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video by saying Beyoncé deserved the award.
"It was halfway my fault," she said.
Rose confessed that she encouraged her ex to drink while they headed to the show, saying, "You know what babe, you're a f***ing rockstar. You need a bottle of Henny. Like, let's just go to the red carpet and have that... We were living our best lives at the time."

Amber and Kanye dated from 2008 until 2010. However, she broke up with the rapper and later alleged that she endured being constantly bullied by West in the wake of their split.
"The only thing I got from him was fame and fame don't get you no f***ing money," she said in a 2017 Complex interview.
