Amber Rose: "From Rags 2 Riches"

Amber Rose gives YRB details on her childhood, how she’s dealing with being labeled a celebrity, her sexual preference, and her feelings on Kanye West…

Amber’s Childhood in Philly:

“I grew up very poor, raised by a single mother. We didn’t have much as far as material things, but we had love and we had fun all the time. She raised me to have confidence and always taught me to be humble no matter what God brought my way… I’m confident in everything I do in life.”

Amber’s Preference: Man or Woman

“The thing that people don’t understand when it comes to a relationship with a man or woman is that it’s not about sex at all, even though that’s the first thing that pops in your head. It’s about the love and the vibe you get from the person, and I believe you can find that in anyone.”

Amber’s Celebrity Status:

“Well, I don’t look at myself as [a celebrity]. I’m just a dope chick from South Philly… It’s crazy when fans come up to me and cry and just want a hug from me. It bugs me out! But it’s really cool… But there’s no privacy – that’s the only thing that overwhelms me. Every time I see a light flash I think it’s the paparazzi. Those fuckers give me anxiety.”

Thoughts on Kanye West:

“Honestly, Kanye saved my life, and I don’t even think about what I would have been; I just think about what I’m gonna be…”
