Amber Rose has weighed in on her ex-boyfriend Kanye West’s apparent influence on his wife Bianca Censori’s style.
“He is, for sure, dressing her like that,” Rose, 44, said on the Wednesday, March 5, episode of the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “He did the same thing to me and Kim [Kardashian]. That’s who he is. He wants other men to want his woman. That’s what he’s into. He likes that.”
West, 47, and Rose dated for two years from 2008 to 2010 before he later moved on with Kardashian, 44. West and Kardashian, who share four children, were married for seven years until divorcing in 2021. During their marriage, Kardashian had also looked to the rapper as a stylist.
“Kanye has always dressed me, he’s always styled me,” Kardashian previously said in a 2022 episode of The Kardashians. “In the early 2000s, he would, literally, just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be … and he’ll send me so many reference pictures. So, that’s always really been our thing.”
Kanye West has a track record of styling the women in his life to suit his tastes — and his wife, Bianca Censori, is no exception. “It’s an element of control for Kanye,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly in spring 2024.

Following his breakup with Kardashian, West moved on with Censori, 30, and they wed in late 2022. After the Australian Yeezy designer wore an invisible dress to the 2025 Grammys last month, West claimed via X that he had “dominion” over Censori and his style.
“He likes that men are, like, drooling over his woman; that’s what he’s into,” Rose claimed on Wednesday. “He wants all his friends to want to f— his girlfriend. He wants everybody that walks into a room [to think] that his girlfriend or wife is the most desirable in the room.”

According to Rose, she followed that guidance when she dated West because she “was young.”
“Am I going to tell Kanye ‘no’ when I’m that young?” Rose recalled. “It’s, like, OK, you’re buying me stuff. I do look pretty and cool, but if you look at old pictures of me when I’m dating Kanye, but when I’m out by myself, I have all his clothes on. I have on baggie jeans, big a– T-shirt, jacket. I raided his closet when he wasn’t home.”
The most talked-about fashion moment from the 2025 Grammys red carpet on Sunday, February 2, wasn’t caused by clothes, but rather lack thereof.

She added, “I would wear all his stuff because I used to hate to dress like a whore, basically. I used to rebel when he wasn’t home and I’d go into his closet.”
West also allegedly forced Rose to step out in her own see-through dress.
“I cried,” Rose claimed. “I was in Italy or Paris or something and I remember crying and arguing with him and being like, ‘I don’t want to wear this s—. I don’t want to wear it.”
Per Rose, West had told her that she just didn’t “understand” fashion and he was a self-proclaimed “genius” who did.
“It’s, like, ‘OK, I still don’t want to wear it, but I wind up wearing it and they ate me up on the internet,” Rose recalled. “The guys loved it.”
