Bandaged Trump smiles as Amber Rose tells Republican convention he is the 'best chance we have to give our babies a better life' and says 'I belong here'

Model and rapper Amber Rose told the Republican National Convention Monday night 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 had a change of heart about Trump after doing some research and attending some rallies. 

She was one of the handful of speakers Trump captured in-person Monday night, as he sat in a box at the Fiserv Forum, with a bandaged ear, looking smitten.

'I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight, it's all love,' Rose said. 'And that's when it hit me, these are my people, this is where I belong.' 

Rose said the first Trump supporter in her racially diverse family was her father and she pushed back saying she believed the Republican was racist. 

He pushed back, she said, and told her Trump wasn't.

'And when he insisted, he said prove it. So to prove my father wrong I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump,' she said. 

She said her experience with Trump's 'red-hat wearing supporters' made her change her tune. 

'So I let go of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left and I put the red hat on too,' she said to cheers and screams. 'I never felt more free and more love for my country than I do now.'      

Rose's appearance stood out Monday as the other speakers consisted of politicians, average Americans and a top union boss. 

Republican conventions historically haven't had a lot of Hollywood types onstage compared to the Democratic counterparts. 

And even Trump's past as a reality TV star hasn't really helped. 

In the last decade and a half the most notable onstage celebrity appearance was likely when director and actor Clint Eastwood pretended that a chair was then President Barack Obama, making the case for GOP nominee Mitt Romney in 2012. 

Trump attracted a handful of D-listers to the 2016 convention in Cleveland, giving Antonio Sabato Jr. and Scott Baio speaking slots. 

In 2020, Trump's convention moved to Washington, D.C. amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with a slimmed down speakers' schedule. 

Beyond Rose, reality TV star Savannah Chrisley will speak onstage at the four-day affair.

There were some rumblings that 50 Cent may also be on hand, with CNN reporting Monday that the rapper 'is in talk' with convention officials to perform. 

But a spokesperson told DailyMail.com that he currently has a scheduling conflict. 

'He's slated to be somewhere else,' his publicist said.
