American rapper, actress, and model Amber Rose recently said in an interview that women should take advantage of their strengths in order to manage their finances and become an “entrepreneur in a changing world.”

However, her advice earned criticism, particularly the part that encouraged women to use their “seductive skills” on their significant others. Rose explained herself in an interview with TIME.
“As women, we’re fortunate enough to use our seductive skills in order to be able to get money from our significant others.”
Rose, 32, said that she also delved on the topic of seduction in her new book, How to Be a Bad B****, in which she claims that she can attest to all of her recommendations.

The model-turned-activist said that during her career as an exotic dancer, she “literally had to persuade” men to give her money out of their pockets.
“I apply that to my daily life,” the Blackish actress said.
She emphasized that most women are not capable of putting their seduction skills to good use and, as a result, they miss out on getting anything they want from their men.
Because of the remarks about seduction, some people slammed her on social media.
“How about teaching women to get a [sic] higher education so you don’t depend on a man to fatten your pockets,” said one critical commenter in a Twitter post.
Another user said Amber Rose was just embarrassing herself and that girls should just finish school so they would not have to depend on any man to succeed.
The actress and recent author replied to them in her own Twitter post.
Lol y’all are so Corny So it’s wrong to ask ur “Significant other” (The person u care about) to help u financially so u can reach ur goal? ?

Still, Amber Rose believes she is in a good position to give advice to people because of what she has already gone through in her life. She shares that in 2011, she made $1 million; although, she spent all the money the same year.
As a result, she underwent a difficult situation because she still had unpaid taxes. Fortunately, she managed to pay all the taxes even though it didn’t come without hard work.
Aside from the controversial advice that earned the criticism of some people on social media, Amber Rose also shared some great tips for young women who want to become successful.
One of her tips for girls is to have a specific goal that they want to attain. These goals should be specific and have their own timelines in their lives. Some of the examples she cited include having a family, looking for a mentor, and learning to save up.
Amber Rose added that women should “fully research” the path or business that they want to go to. In addition, they should learn how to say “no,” especially when asked out by friends.
“Tell them that you’re trying to save up for whatever it may be, and if they want you to come out with them then it has to be their treat,” she said in the interview.
Amber Rose, whose real name is Amber Levonchuck, also shared that she is an entrepreneur, and that part of her success is that she treats her staff well. She also said that while others see her as merely a stripper, she is also smart, witty, and capable of running her own business.

Rose is also not keen on people belittling her or her skills, as was the case in a recent GQ profile that described her as merely, “Kanye’s infamous ex and Wiz Khalifa’s baby mama.”
