Amber Rose is one of the celebrity speakers at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which kicks off the four-day event in Milwaukee on Monday.

Rose, who is famously in a relationship with Kanye West, voiced her support for Donald Trump in a video earlier this year wearing a Trump supporter's distinctive red “Make America Great Again” hat.
