Despite being constantly referred to as Kanye's ex-girlfriend, Rose was determined to make it on her own two feet and wasn't about to let a few setbacks stop her.
"I can't go back to Philly, I'm not going to be a dancer again, you know I met a lot of great people during this time when I was with homeboy [West] years ago." she told Complex (via Hello Giggles). "I'm just gonna take the steps and find out how to be an entrepreneur and start my own businesses and companies, and that's what I did."
But not only was Rose dedicated to making a name for herself, she was going to do it without capitalizing on her famous ex-boyfriend.
"I could've got a reality show just off the fact that I was his girlfriend," she said. "I could've wrote a book just off the fact that I was his girlfriend... But I'm a real ass b*tch, I'm gonna take the high road, I'm gon' work my ass off, and I'm gonna get everything that I'm gonna get on my own, so nobody can be like, 'Yo I gave her that.'"
With a book, talk show career, and a non-profit organization that empowers women under her belt, there's no denying that Rose built a brand that's entirely independent from Kanye. Although, she did set social media on fire by tweeting him the greatest hashtag of all time, but c'mon. She earned it.
