Pop culture’s favorite and outspoken celebrity, Amber Rose teams up with Zoobe to break barriers in the tech world with the introduction of her first 3D character. Amber’s army of “Rosebuds” will be able to customize her character into their own alter ego to express themselves and communicate as Amber Rose in the digital world. Rose is giving her fans the unprecedented opportunity to use their physical appearance and personality in this fashion. With her new character, Amber aims to elevate her MUVA presence in the social world.

“MUVA loves connecting with her Rosebuds.  I’m excited to see the wonderful things my fans will create with my 3-D character,” says Rose.

“We are extremely proud to add Amber as our first Zoobe Star to our character cast. She has an enormous social media presence, and is constantly challenging the ways in which celebrities remain in touch with their fans,” notes Norbert Richard Meinike, Chief Marketing Officer at Zoobe. “Much like all of our characters, Amber does not shy away from having strong opinions, and we love colorful personalities! At the moment, there isn’t anyone else out there who we see as a more perfect Zoobe Star.”

“Now is your chance to have ME come to life right in front of your eyes!” says Rose. “My 3-D character is stepping into your life through your mobile device, all thanks to a new app called Zoobe.”

Rose will “Reveal” her Zoobe character at an exclusive unveiling event during SXSW Sunday, March 13th in Austin, Texas. This free app is available on iTunes and Google Play.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re pretty much aware (and probably still buggin’) over the epic Twitter showdown between Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa Wednesday. The two emcees had the world clutching their phones, hanging on to their every tweet — making sure they missed nothing. However, while one-half of the Internet was trying to figure out when KK stood for weed, the other saw dollar signs and quickly assembled a collection of merchandise to profit off their feud.

Thanks to Etsy, High Kee Tee and yeeezuswaves.com, the deleted rant by ‘your OG’, Yeezy, can live on forever. The typical paraphernalia, from mugs to tees to cigarette lighters, are here to remind us all of one of the most memorable events in 2016 and Hip-hop. Peep the merch below.

The Maryland emcee recently let us into his thoughts, detailing his standpoint on activists and worldwide issues. Needless to say, the “Set The Tone” artist keeps it 1000 with his music, so it’s no surprise that he’s being straight with us about this.

It is safe to say that the “Numbers” lyricist will not be trading rap to play the role of an activist anytime soon, however he noticeably feels some type of way about certain situations:

“I’m not an activist, I have these things that I wanna say, but I didn’t sign up to that. I signed up to make great music, I didn’t set myself up to possibly be assassinated. I feel like if I go in that direction, I will give up rap. I will go all the way. I’m gonna drop everything and dedicate my entire life, that’s the type of person I am.”

Reflecting on social media, Logic avoids jumping on the Twitter wave, reaching people through his music as appose to ranting on internet platforms:

“Some shit happens and then two minutes later it’s trending, which I think is also cool though at the same time because it does bring awareness to the world. But then I think; Okay, the world is aware but then the world doesn’t do anything about it.”

Logic holds his position by aiming to promote positive messages to the world:

“I think my job is to discuss certain things that I believe in on my music and then have that bleed over in to this.”

A pair of teens, Katie Burroughs and Kathleen Lee have been hard at work recreating Kanye West and Kim Kardashian‘s looks. Copying the pair to a tee (though doubtlessly at just a fraction of the looks’ original price tags), the duo have created some priceless photos inspired by America’s favorite couple. They even dress up as baby North West in one image! These outfits could be perfect, and pretty effortless, Halloween costumes for all of the undecideds out there this year. Check out a few of their looks below, and look up @what_would_yeezus_wear on instagram for more ideas. #WWYW #whatwouldyeezuswear
