Are Chris Rock and Amber Rose New York’s Newest Celebrity Couple?
Chris Rock and Amber Rose are rumored to be in a romantic relationship after the two are believed to have spent Christmas together. Interestingly, these speculations surfaced ten years after Chris Rock and Kanye West dissed her in a song called “Blame Game.”
Last Monday, the pair was seen in New York City spending time away from their children. The duo went out for a casual stroll and many people were surprised to see them together.
The two were stylishly dressed as they walked around the Big Apple before returning to Chris Rock’s apartment. The 40-year-old rapper and model wore a black leather jacket over a hoodie, sweatpants, and a pair of Nike high-tops.
Meanwhile, Chris Rock strutted around in a casual blue plaid button-down, beanie, and white sneakers. The 48-year-old comedian looked smitten with his date. While strolling, he was seen engaging in friendly banter with Amber who was also obviously enjoying his company.
But are they in a relationship or are they just friends? One thing’s for sure—he was previously part of Kanye West’s song, “Blame Game,” in 2010.
The song incorporates a hip-hop skit courtesy of Chris Rock where he compliments a woman’s dress sense and sexual technique.
In the song, Chris Rock asks who taught his lover her bedroom skills. A woman responds “Yeezy taught me.” Chris then thanks Yeezy and tells the girl that she was taught well.
The song is believed to be inspired by Kanye’s relationship with Amber whom he met in 2008.
Recall that in 2017, Amber had an interview with Complex Magazine where she said that she was the more heartbroken of the two when her relationship with Kanye ended. She said at the time, “I have never cheated on any of my boyfriends, and still have never said anything mean about Kanye… This is after six, seven years of constant bullying from him.”
The aftermath was made especially difficult for Amber when Kanye released his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which many assumed was about their relationship.
Amber had said to Glamour, “That’s an extreme form of bullying as well. To have such a huge voice to put out an album to say whatever the fuck you want… it was not a great time for me. I’m famous and I’m broke, I don’t have any money, we weren’t married, he didn’t owe me shit, and I had to figure out what I was gonna do with the fame and with my life at the time. I had to take the heartbreak on top of it.”
“If I was going to kill myself, I would have done it during those times,” she said bluntly.
Despite her failed two-year relationship with Kanye, she has modeled for Louis Vuitton and was part of Ford Models. Amber has also been cast in several hip-hop videos. She married rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2013 and divorced him a year later. After everything she’s gone through, we sure hope that her next relationship (whether with Chris Rock or someone else) is “the one!”
