It became clear just what an intense point in their relationship Amber Rose and 21 Savage are at, on Monday [July 10], when Rose opened up on what her growing love affair with the rapper means to her, in an early morning Instagram post.
Fresh off of a trip from Atlanta, where Rose had spent time in the company of 21's family, the former stripper-turned-model/actress apparently got caught up reflecting on what kind of weekend it was, as she posted images of she and 21 sleeping in on the flight. In a photo of him glancing over her as she lay staring into her phone to snap the flick, she spoke of how amazing it is to wake up feeling such love, writing:
"I've cried endlessly and been hurt a lot in my life, I've been abused, talked to like I wasn't s**t, been gaslighted and Slut-shamed by men that I once loved and cared about. So I'm so thankful that God brought this amazing person in my life who genuinely has my back and is ready to "pull up" to defend my honor by any means."
While many cite her past relationships with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa in chalking up the budding romance to an affinity for rappers, there are those who see Rose and 21 as an odd couple of sorts. For one thing, the age gap between them, at nine years, is greater it was when the public was calling her a cougar for her relationship with Wiz, who was four years her junior. Secondly, there is the perceived lifestyle difference, with Rose having increasingly embraced her feminist identity and 21 just coming into his own at the forefront of a brand of hip-hop that bears no shortage of adjectives for women that are regularly denounced by feminists.
During a recent interview with 92.3 in L.A. 21 revealed that he's been working on himself under his other half's guidance. He admitted to regulating his diet thanks to Rose and while speaking on the Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna episode took some positions concerning women that showed a side to him that women like Rose could get used to. Whether her attraction has to do with her seeing that he could be amenable to what she stands for, or her just loving something about him, what is clear is that Rose sees them lasting, or so she says, when completing the post by writing, "Maybe he's just as broken as me and that's why we're perfect for each other but either way he's not going anywhere and neither am I."
