Kanye West's 'ex' coming for Carnival
By Nigel Telesford (T&T Express)United States model Amber Rose is looking forward to experiencing Trinidad Carnival for the first time next week.
The former girlfriend of rap star Kayne West told the Express on Sunday she is "so excited to be in Trinidad for Carnival" and revealed that close friend, Trinidad-born hip-hop star Nicki Minaj has told her all about the festival.
Rose starred in Minaj's first music video, Massive Attack, early last year.
In an exclusive phone interview, Rose said she was en route from London to Sunday night's prestigious Academy Awards in Los Angeles, but could not wait to be in Trinidad.
Among other things, Rose said she is "looking forward to sampling a Trini roti".
Rose is being flown in for Carnival by Antilia Inc, a New York-based special-events, travel and concierge service company.
Last year, the agency hosted international supermodel, Tyson Beckford, NAACP image-award winning actor Malik Yoba and renowned celebrity photographer Jonathan Mannion for their "Antilia Carnival Experience" at The Carlton Savannah Hotel and also welcomed R&B superstar Mya and NFL stars Edgerrin James and Clinton Portis at a private event held in the WOW Suite of the hotel on Ash Wednesday.
Headed by CEO Simon Khan, Antilia Inc is dedicated to promoting Caribbean music, culture and tourism to the world and selected Rose to host "an intimate, private event in Trinidad on Ash Wednesday".
Details on this event have not yet been revealed, but Rose and the rest of Antilia's VIP guests will play mas on Carnival Tuesday in popular band Bliss.
