Amanda Lepore Just Said Those Kanye Rumors Are True—But Should We Believe Her?
Hold onto your lip gloss and keep your eyes on TikTok, because Amanda Lepore just dropped a bombshell—again.
If you were anywhere near pop culture Twitter back in 2017, you probably remember the wild rumor that Amanda Lepore, the iconic, ultra-glamorous transgender nightlife legend, once had a fling with none other than Kanye West. It all started with her memoir Doll Parts, where she teased a relationship with a “famous rapper” whose songs were bumping in every club and whose wife had a body a lot like hers. Naturally, the internet put two and two together and screamed: Kanye?!
But hold up. Back then, Kanye’s camp was not having it. A rep flat-out denied everything, saying Ye had never even met Lepore. And Amanda herself? She kept it coy, never naming names, never confirming, never denying—until now.
Fast forward to 2025, and Amanda’s on TikTok giving the girls (and the gays) what they live for: vintage tea served piping hot. In a cheeky new video, she says the rumors are “true,” flashing that signature bombshell smile and leaving the comments section in flames.
So what’s really going on here?
Let’s break it down.
Lepore’s memoir definitely included some juicy blind items, but she never said “Kanye” directly. Still, the hints lined up a little too well. The rapper in question was said to be newly married (Kanye had just wed Kim K at the time), frequently heard in clubs (duh), and attracted to a woman with Lepore’s signature Barbie-meets-Burlesque silhouette.
Naturally, internet sleuths did what they do best, and theories exploded. But Kanye’s team shut it all down instantly, calling the rumors “completely false.” And honestly, that was kind of the end of it—until Amanda popped back up in 2025 with a wink and a “yeah, it’s true.”
Now, before you start rewriting hip-hop history, remember: there’s still zero concrete evidence tying Kanye to Amanda beyond her coy comments and the memoir’s hints. And let’s not forget—Lepore is a legendary performer who knows how to get people talking. She’s been in the scene for decades and knows how to stir the pot just enough.
So is it true? Did Kanye really have a secret romance with Amanda Lepore back in the day? Or is this just a bit of fabulous storytelling from a nightlife icon who knows how to keep us guessing?
Whatever the truth is, one thing’s for sure: Amanda Lepore still has the girls gagged after all these years. And whether this tea is real or just hot gossip, we’re kind of obsessed with the chaos.
Stay tuned, because something tells us this story isn’t over just yet.
