Amber Rose shocked fans on Monday when she endorsed Donald Trump for president at the Republican National Convention.
But what also caught attention was the tattoo on her forehead – and there is a surprising meaning behind it.
The 40-year-old rapper and model paid tribute to her two children Sebastian Thomaz and Slash Edwards with the drawing, which reads ‘Bash Slash’.
When she got the tattoo in 2020, Amber told Fox Soul TV why she chose it. It came after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant.
‘I have to be honest, and I don’t want this to sound cheesy, but after Kobe [Bryant] “When I died, I started thinking about my life,” she said.

Amber added that Kobe’s passing wasn’t the only reason she got the tattoo, but that it was also “kind of like that.”
When Amber showed off her tattoo on Instagram in 2020, she wrote, “To the people telling me I’m too pretty for a face tattoo are the same people who would tell me I’m ‘too pretty’ even if they thought I was ugly and would lie to me. Lol.
“Or they would just tell me I’m ugly, so either way, the moral of the story is: do what you want in life – muva.”
On Monday, Amber claimed at the Republican Party Convention that former President Donald Trump is “the best chance we have to give our babies a better life.”
Rose, the ex-girlfriend of Kanye West and ex-wife of Wiz Khalifa, explained to the Milwaukee that she changed her mind about Trump after doing some research and attending a few rallies.
She was one of the few speakers Trump captured in person Monday night, as he sat in a box at the Fiserv Forum, his ear bandaged, looking smitten.
“I realized that Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, straight, it’s all love,” Rose said. “And that’s when it hit me: These are my people, this is where I belong.”
She said her experience with Trump’s “red hat supporters” changed her mind.

‘I have to be honest, and I don’t want this to sound cheesy, but after Kobe[Bryant] (pictured) died, it made me think about my life,’ she said of why she got the tattoo.
“So I let go of my fear of judgment, of misunderstandings, of attacks from the left, and I also put on the red hat,” she said.
Amber’s fans were outraged when she posted a photo of herself posing with Trump, 77, and his wife Melania, 54, at a gala event in May.
Rose wrote in the caption, “Trump 2024 ususus,” which prompted a flood of negative reactions from fans in the comments.
She has long been an advocate for women’s rights and founded Slutwalk in 2015 in an effort to end rape culture and victim blaming.
Many see her support for Trump as hypocritical, given his frequent accusations of sexual harassment and his role in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Fans wrote: ‘Imagine being an “advocate” for women’s rights and supporting Trump and his party who overturned Roe V Wade. Wild,’;
‘AMBER, HE IS LITERALLY AGAINST EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR! WTF?!?!?!’
Another fan brought up her feud with Joseline Hernandez on College Hill: Celebrity Edition, adding, “Like Joseline said, you just wanna be a white girl.”

Rose and Hernandez got into an argument about race, and when Hernandez said she “really wanted to be a white girl,” Rose appeared to hit her. The footage of this was not shown.
Some well-known faces also opposed her support.
Producer, actor and attorney Nathan Hale Williams said, “Unfollow me at speed. He’s against everything I thought you stood for. Bye girl.”
Meanwhile, actor and activist Amber Whittington added: ‘Damn it Amber… You are a bisexual woman of color leading a movement to stand up for women’s rights and their power against anyone who abuses it… that is literally the OPPOSITE of what he supports… smdh.’
Blakely Nieman Thornton commented, “Go to sleep honey, you’re drunk,” while actress Vivica A. Fox added, “WTF?? #GURLBYE.”
Season eight winner of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Bob The Drag Queen, added, “AMBER?!?!?! WTF.”
