Amber Rose Cries Over Kanye West Bullying On RapFix Live [VIDEO]

Amber Rose seems to be trying to move past all of the drama with Kanye West, but she hasn't been able to lately.  During a sit down with Sway yesterday on MTV RapFix Live, they talked about her relationship with Wiz Khalifa and her new single "Fame," but things took a turn for the worst when Kanye was mentioned.

Watch below as Amber Rose reached a breaking point about the bullying she faced in the streets from Kanye West fans after 'Ye made some hurtful comments in his music about her.  If you want to see a more in-depth interview about the situation, hit the jump to see her appearance on The Breakfast Club yesterday.

Jimmy Kimmel's Spoof Commercial For Kanye West's DONDA [VIDEO]

Although Kanye West doesn't tweet consistenly, he's never one to disappoint whenever he logs on. Just take a look for yourself. After going on a huge rant about America's education system, he mentioned that he's starting a think-tank, creative firm named after his late mother Donda and started tweeting all over the place.

While Kanye did make a few valid points in his rant, who couldn't help but poke fun at it?  Jimmy Kimmel surely capitalized and created a spoof promotional video for the company using the rapper's actual tweets. HILARIOUS.

Watch The Throne's "Ni**as In Paris" has undoubtedly proven itself to be the hottest track of the year.  I don't know one person who doesn't get amped up as soon as he/she hears "Ball so hard mothaf**kas wanna fine me."

I've heard that Jay-Z and Kanye West have performed the anthem usually 3 times in a row during their shows, but they pulled out all the stops during their Detroit show and performed it 7 TIMES!!! It seems like the crowd loved every moment of it.  Watch the 6th and 7th performances below, and let me know what you think about "Ni**as In Paris."

Amber Rose Addresses Kanye West's Apology [VIDEO]

Yesterday, footage from Jay-Z & Kanye's Watch The Throne stop in Philly surfaced revealing Kanye West thanking Philly for Amber Rose. In a recent interview with XXL, she addressed 'Ye's comments and revealed that she did watch the video and that she forgives Kanye for being an "asshole" during their relationship.  It doesn't look like there's a reunion in the future, however, as Amber Rose seems extremely happy with Wiz Khalifa.

Last night, Hov and Yeezy took to Philly to showcase their grandiose and, from what I hear, spectacular Watch The Throne tour.  During a performance of "Runaway" Kanye showed off his vulnerable side, and thanked the city for making the woman he once fell in love with.   What's more interesting is that just days before, her new beau Wiz Khalifa said the following:

Philly, thank you for making her...But she's mine now.
