Stunts And Shows: Amber Rose’s Ex-Publicist Is Back At It
Barely out of his teens, then Temple University student Janero Merchand played a pivotal role in putting a relatively unknown Amber Rose on the map after meeting the model on the set of a photo shoot and later connecting her with Kanye West in the days that follow.
“When I first met Amber Rose, a lot of people don’t know this, she had on a Baby Phat coat and Nike high heels,” Janero says. “But what I saw about Amber Rose was she had a star quality potential.”
As the fairy tale goes, Kanye paid for her trip out to the west coast to star in the visual for 808’s and Heartbreak’s cut “Robocop,”sparking an instant connection with Amber in the process.
The countdown to the demise of Amber and Janero’s relationship, personally and professionally, was officially on after she returned back home to Philly. Watch the self-appointed “Michael Jordan of models” (ROFL) offer his side of the story after the jump.
Today, she lives in LA with current squeeze, rapper Wiz Khalifa, the 24-year-old who shot to mainstream fame with his ode to Pittsburgh, “Black and Yellow” last year.
