Amber Rose isn’t the traditional parent. She walks around nude in front of her young son to teach him about women’s bodies and also allows him to curse as long as he doesn’t do it in school. And all of those things have been met with controversy.
So it’s no surprise then, that Rose’s newest interaction with her child is making waves.
On Sunday, Oct. 21, Rose uploaded a photo to her Instagram page that captures her moments before she’s about to kiss her 5-year-old son, Sebastian, on the lips.
“My Greatest Gift 🎃 #sebastiantaylorthomaz,” Rose captioned the photo.

Some celebrated the affectionate moment.
“Beautiful!”
“I absolutely love this❤️”
“A mother & sons bond is like no other! I love this picture of you two. 🙌💙💙”
“@amberrose This is a great pic. When I look at it and read the caption, my heart flutters with love. What you show your son, he’ll never forget and grow up a better person overall. 🙏🏾😍😍”
But many others criticized the neo-feminist and entrepreneur.
“He needs to go get a checkup ASAP.”
“Poor kid has kiss all the dudes her mom has blown lol.”
“if only he knew 😞”
“She gonna give him salmonella 🤮🤮🤮”
“I wouldn’t kiss my son on the lips, but that’s me. We were taught that some things are not appropriate and this is one of them. But that’s my family. Each family has their own rules, and this is a rule that will be passed down to my son as well. That’s reserved for a mate.”
However, some fans swooped in to defend Rose.
“I can’t believe people have made such messed up comments on this picture! It’s a mother @amberrose and her son! How dare the world make this into something it’s not!!”
“Some of you people are miserable… Its the only explanation I can come up with for going out of your way to make disheartening and judgemental comments. She May give her son kisses (as I do with my son also), but it’s evident based on the malice in this feed some of you need to learn basic manners like ‘if you do not have anything nice to say do not say anything at all’… Smh.”
