Model and socialite Amber Rose - who dated the `All Falls Down` hitmaker in 2009 - admitted the rapper "saved her life" by helping her make a name for herself in the fashion industry. She explained: "Honestly, Kanye saved my life, and I don`t even think about what I would have been; I just think about what I`m going to be┘I don`t look at myself as a celebrity. "I`m just a dope chick from South Philly! I mean, it`s crazy when fans come up to me and cry and just want a hug from me. It bugs me out! But it`s really cool." The 27 year old beauty - who has also made appearances in various music videos, such as Ludacris` `What Them Girls Like` - revealed she finds the paparazzi interest in her life "overwhelming". She told YRB magazine: "I like to be on the beach with my man with no top on. I`m very comfortable with my body. But there`s no privacy - that`s the only thing that overwhelms me. "Every time I see a light flash, I think it`s the paparazzi. Those f****rs give me anxiety."
