Amber Rose is reacting to Kanye West's song "Famous" which opens with the rapper taking credits for making the women in his life famous. She acknowledges that people know her as Kanye's girlfriend in 2009, but those days are over.

"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,' " Amber tells The Daily Beast, "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.' "

The 32-year-old model insists there is a double standard at play. "Over time, with going out in public, I realized 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 my f***ing ass off for everything I have," she says, "But Wendy Williams put Charlamagne on. Jay-Z put Kanye on! But they don't do that to men, and they always want to diminish my accomplishments and put them on someone else when I work really hard."

Amber is able to have her own voice after splitting from husband Wiz Khalifa. "When you're in a relationship, especially with a famous man-I was married to Wiz [Khalifa] and we were together for four years-there are certain things that you stop yourself from doing," says Blac Chyna's BFF.

"Wiz is a rapper so he talks about 'fucking hos' and doing s**t like that, but I'm a feminist, so I have my views about that while also supporting my husband in his craft, and supporting him to be creative. That became very difficult," she shares, "And now that we've separated, I was able to have my own voice and do me. And it worked."
