"Amber Rose" Family Didn’t Go To Her Wedding Because Wiz Is Black

DETAILS INSIDE

In a clip from OWN’s upcoming documentary, Light 

Girls, Amber Rose breaks down in tears. The usually 

poised model is overcome by her feelings of anger 

and betrayal over her family’s refusal to attend her 

2013 wedding to rapper Wiz Khalifa. The reason for 

their abstention? Wiz is African-American.

Rose, who is half-Creole, half-Italian, tells OWN that 

her family feels they are “superior, or better than an 

African-American” due to their Creole culture. “Our 

younger generation, we’ve embraced [modern] culture 

so much,” she says, citing her elder family members’ 

racial biases and her father’s whiteness.

Rose and Khalifa are currently in the process of 

finalizing their divorce. Light Girls airs tonight (Jan. 19) 

on OWN at 9:00 p.m. EST.
