Amber Rose accuses Beyoncé of stealing her Republican National Convention speech following the singer’s appearance at Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Houston on Friday: ‘She wanna be me so bad’
Amber Rose has accused Beyoncé of stealing her Republican National Convention speech following the singer’s appearance at Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Houston on Friday.
“She wanna be me so bad. Literally took my whole speech,” Rose wrote on Instagram, according to a screenshot from the Shade Room.
There are clear similarities in their speeches, as they both spoke about the importance of motherhood and how that impacts their voting.
“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyoncé, 43, noted at the beginning of her speech at the rally, which took place in her hometown.
“A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”
“Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations,” she added. “We must vote, and we need you.”
Rose, 41, also introduced herself as a mother at the RNC in July.
“My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life,” she said.
“That’s something that unites all American parents, whether we’re Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, or Liberals — we all want a better country for our children.”
“But I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump, President of the United States,” she went on.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both stars for comment.
Not all fans were convinced Beyoncé purposefully mirrored Rose’s speech and many took to the Shade Room’s comments section to protest.
Sorry she don’t even notice you,” one fan commented, shading Rose.
“To say THEEE beyonce wanna be you is wild asf,” another quipped.
A third commented, “If REACHING were a person 😂😂😂 Amber please, not now🤦🏽♀️😂.”
While fans defended Beyoncé against Rose, they slammed her for exiting Harris’ rally without performing a song.
Several social media users posted videos showing rally attendees allegedly leaving out of disappointment.
One person called the ordeal “embarrassing” while another likened it to throwing gasoline in a dumpster fire.
Harris has not publicly responded to the disappointment.
