I swear this is not a Kardashian story. Well, not really. Allow me to explain. On Friday afternoon, famous-for-having-a phatty Amber Rose was asked during a radio interview with The Breakfast Club about the alleged relationship between rapper, Tyga, 25, and Kylie Jenner, 17.

This episode “held no cut cards”, as we like to say in the DMV. We have “conflict” straight out the gate.
