Kanye West Slapped Amber Rose With "Seven Figure" Gag Order

More reports on Kanye West's alleged gag order on Amber Rose have surfaced with sources claiming she is being paid at least a million dollars to remain silent.

A source revealed more details about the agreement to blogger Perez Hilton.

Sources are saying that Kanye West has signed a multi-million dollar contract with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose to "silence" her from speaking about his personal life. She reportedly agreed to never reveal any details about the rapper in return for cash. An insider says, "It's pretty common to have 'silence' agreements amongst entertainers. I heard that Amber's getting seven figures to keep her lips closed." Hmm, we wonder why Kanye is shelling out so much to keep Amber's mouth closed. What does he have to hide?? (Perez Hilton)

Initial speculation grew after a tweet from Rap-Up Magazine last week.

"Kanye has the gag order on Amber Rose. She just told us she doesn't do interviews. But she was still cool about it." (Rap-Up's Twitter)

Rose recently turned down an interview while attending a California party for Maxim Magazine.
