Meeting Kanye West and Appearing in Drake’s ‘Best I Ever Had’

Rosa was only finding her footing in the music video industry in the mid to late 2000s when one of the directors she worked with called her and spoke about a man who wants to meet her about a prospective business opportunity. The person told Rosa, a man named “Kenny” wanted to meet her and she went to the meeting.

The dancer was not so proficient in English back in the day, and when she met “Kenny,” it turns out the man is Kanye West, rapper, and producers extraordinaire. People confused Kanye a lot back in the day, now he is a household name, but back in the day hip hop heads were the only ones who heard of the rapper and knew how to pronounce his name.
