Supermodel Amber Rose has defended her ex-boyfriend Kanye West in his feud with pop star Taylor Swift.
Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian West took to Snapchat over the weekend to share footage of Kanye talking to the singer about his song "Famous", in which he calls Taylor a bitch and says they might have sex, prompting Swift to hit back and insist she never "approved" the song.
His ex-girlfriend Rose, however, says that Kanye was so contrite after interrupting Taylor's MTV VMAs speech in 2009 that she knew he would have sought Taylor's permission before releasing it, reported Female First.
Speaking in a sneak peek of "The Amber Rose Show", she said: "I want to talk about Kim and Kanye's Snapchat. "So, I'm not the biggest fan of Kanye... But I was next to him at the VMAs that year. I remember the repercussions after that.
"I remember Taylor's mother and father coming up to us and saying, 'One day Kanye, you'll have a daughter and somebody is going to do that to you'. He was so remorseful. I mean he really felt so bad, because it wasn't about Taylor. It was about Beyonce and her video... He didn't want to interrupt Taylor - he didn't even know who she was at the time.
Rose said people did not want to work with West after his 'interrupting' act so she is sure he would have taken Swift's permission before releasing "Famous".
"It was just a very hard time for him, and I was around to see that. I watched Lady Gaga cancel the tour. I watched people say that they did not want to work with him anymore because of it.
"And he really went through a lot of crap and I know that Kanye would never ever go through that again by not calling Taylor and say, 'Heads up, I'm about to go write this verse real quick. Just wanted to make sure you're cool with it.' I know that about Kanye.
