After causing a stir with a bold claim that Beyoncé “took her whole speech,” Amber Rose is now clarifying her comment, admitting it was all a joke that spiraled out of control.
Beyoncé spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston, Texas, on Friday night, October 25, officially endorsing the vice presidential candidate ahead of next month’s election.
“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician,” Beyoncé said during her speech. “I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided. Our past, our present, our future merge to meet us here.”
Following the singer’s speech, Amber Rose accused Beyoncé of stealing her speech at the Republican National Convention this summer.
“She wants to be me so badly,” Amber, who supports Donald Trump in the election, commented on The Shade Room’s coverage of Beyoncé’s speech.
There were noticeable similarities in Beyoncé and Rose’s speeches, as both address the importance of motherhood and how it influences their voting decisions.
During her July RNC speech, Amber Rose stated, “I’m a mother. My whole world revolves around providing for my children and keeping them safe…We all want a better country for our children.”
However, when a TMZ photographer in Hollywood asked Amber Rose about the comment, she confessed, “I was literally trolling. I troll with my friends all the time. I did not think that was going to be international news when I posted that comment.”
She continued. “But I love Beyoncé, I know Beyoncé. We’ve hung out plenty of times. She’s an amazing girl. But I was lowkey trolling, so…”
Amber Rose also stated that it is “crazy” how a single comment can ignite the internet.
“It’s funny, though. It’s crazy like, one comment can just become international news,” Amber Rose added. “I was literally joking.”
“I was literally joking,” she repeated. Amber Rose went on to say that only “a delusional person” would seriously consider Bey’s desire to be them. She also stated that we “live in a free country” where people can express their political views.
