Rose says she is constantly reminded of her relationship with West, which ended in 2010, reported Female First.
"The misconception--and I still hear this seven years later, to this day--is, 'You're only famous for Kanye.' Initially, absolutely. In 2009, when they're like, 'Amber Rose--Kanye's girlfriend,' I was like, 'OK, that's pretty accurate. That's what it is.'
"But I didn't ask to be famous, and I didn't even talk or do interviews for two years, because I thought, 'I don't want this. I'm not famous.' Over time, with going out in public, I realised it would never go away, so I didn't have any choice but to progress. Everything I've done since then is my own doing, and I've worked very hard for everything I have," she said.
