Amber Rose accuses Kanye West of not writing his own music
You do not mess with a South Philly girl, and Amber Rose proves that every time she’s feeling some kind of way.

While attending a birthday party for rapper Travi$ Scott, at L.A.'s Supper Club on May 1, the actress/model had enough with the DJ playing songs by her ex, Kanye West, so she took the mic and made a bold statement (which was caught on camera).
"Stop playing n–––s I used to f–k. Stop," shouted Amber. "Why don't we play the n––a who writes the songs for the other n––a – Travis Scott."
Signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. record label, 23-year-old recording artist and producer Travi$ Scott has produced beats since he was 16 and been credited for co-producing West's songs "Don't Like", "To The World" and "New Slaves." Calls to Supper Club have not been returned.
This allegation was likely ignited by the heat between Amber and members of the Kardashian clan. The former Delilah's dancer first sparked tensions when she called Kim a "whore" on a morning radio show. Queen bees from camp Kardash soon started throwing verbal heat in her direction and the fire keeps burning.
Upon a careful listening comparison, Scott and West's music sounds similar. From the auto-tuned vocals to familiar sounding beats, themes and lyrics, there's something to be said about the similar influences.
But, we've heard Kanye freestyle many times and we know the artist has a heavy hand in the creation of his instrumentals (and isn't shy about credited his album's producers, like Hudson Mohawke). So to say Scott is responsible for creating the Chicago rapper's recent music is far fetched.
There is, however, another side to this story that claims Travi$ is the sound biter. An article published in February of 2015 to Deadspin claims Scott's rise to fame is fishy, unoriginal and rides on the coat tails of Kanye and Kid Cudi.
On a more local note, Amber will be making a return to Philadelphia on Sunday, June 7th at Bamboo Bar (927 N. Delaware Ave.) for a day party.
