Amber Rose says you can’t even joke anymore without making international news … saying she wasn’t really throwing shade at Beyoncé — she was just trollin’ a friend.

The model and TV personality was out in full costume for a Hollywood Halloween party when photogs caught up with her … and, they had to ask about her claims that the Queen Bey copied her speech for a recent Kamala Harris rally.

ICYMI … Beyoncé spoke at Harris’ rally in Houston Friday night alongside her Destiny’s Child compatriot Kelly Rowland — where she said she wasn’t speaking as a celebrity or a politician, but instead as a mother.

The popular celebrity-focused Instagram account The Shade Room posted a clip from the speech … and in the comments, Amber wrote, “She wanna be me so bad. Literally took my whole speech.”

Of course, the internet went nuts over the comment … which Amber now says was a total troll job, no malicious intent behind it whatsoever.

Amber says she trolls her friends all the time … and, she’s met Bey a few times — so, this was just one pal giving a little guff to another.

AR says it’s funny ’cause even trolling isn’t safe anymore … ’cause even little jokes can blow up wide.

Worth noting … Amber’s already endorsed Donald Trump for prez, and with Bey backing Harris, it’s easy to see why some people thought she was throwing real shade.

Rose also gives her thoughts on a ton of celebs backing Harris … and, despite what some may think, she doesn’t believe the Harris campaign is paying them for their support.
