Both Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose were drawn into the monumental Twitter rant Kanye West unleashed against Wiz Khalifa last week, which ended with Amber trying to humiliate Kanye with some eye-opening revelations about his sexual proclivities.
Naturally the world assumed Kim and Amber were now enemies – but there’s been a major and confusing twist in the story as they simultaneously posted a selfie together.

Yes, Kanye’s ex-girlfriend and his current wife are in the same picture and it’s not a throwback – Amber was papped in the exact outfit on Monday night.
Amber posted the same picture with a bolder caption, reading “Swingers”, with a frog and cup of coffee emoji.

No-one’s quite sure what this development means, but it would be nice to think that the two ladies have chosen to rise above the insults and fight for the same side in the ultimate girl power selfie.
Kanye was criticised for “s***-shaming” Amber when he tweeted to her ex Wiz, with whom she has a child: “You let a stripper trap you … I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years.”

As a woman and mother, understandably Kim might not have been too happy.
Of course, this could also be part of a concerted PR effort or even a new plotline for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Who knows?
Well, Twitter had some ideas.
In my mind Amber and Kim were tired of being insulted by men, came together to squash the beef and slay. I love it! pic.twitter.com/prxxkqr4MP

I bet Kim and Amber ran into each other and thought it would be funny to take a picture together and confuse the world.

Kim and Amber = PR stunt 101. Kris Jenner truly is a marketing genius.
