Memo to GQ: Amber Rose will not be defined by the men she's dated.

On Tuesday, the 31-year-old took to Instagram where she's slammed GQ magazine for describing her as "Kanye's infamous ex" and "Wiz Khalifa's baby mama," in a profile pegged to her forthcoming book, "How to Be a Bad Bitch."

GQ also referred to Rose as a "teen stripper turned megalomaniac muse" and the magazine's attempt at being punny with its shout out to West's 2010 album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," didn't go over so well either. 

"Really [GQ], I'm so much more then Kanye's Ex or Wiz's baby's mama. Damn, why the fuck did u guys reach out to me for this article and photo shoot? To dumb me down? I talked about feminism and my Slutwalk... " she wrote along with photo of the offending article.

She continued, "Wtf nice title smh I expected so much more from u guys and I'm so disappointed. I was so excited to be featured in GQ not realizing I was shooting for a tabloid. My slutwalk was for ignorant shit like this. Oh "Her beautiful dark twisted journey to the top"? Nice pun. Negative af. Thx for nothing."

At the SlutWalk Rose hosted on Oct. 3, she opened up about being slut-shamed for the first time at just 14 years old.  Rose' mother Dorothy walked alongside her famous daughter and showed West exactly what she thought of his infamous "30 showers" commen t with a sign that read "FUCK YO 30 showers!" 

Meanwhile, Rose isn't the only star to take issue with the media using her relationships as a way to describe her. 

In June, Ariana Grande shared an empowering feminist message reminding the world that she would not be defined by her relationships. 

“Because I’m not Big Sean’s ex. I’m not Niall [Horan]’s ‘possible new girl,'" Grande says in the video. "I’m Ariana Grande -- and if that’s not interesting enough, don’t talk to me," she said in a behind-the-scenes video for the "Honeymoon Diaries."

Well said, ladies.
