All Falls Down

Filed under: Kanye West

As Kanye West is celebrating the triumphant success of his new "Glow in the Dark" tour, new reports are surfacing that the rapper and his fiancee, Alexis Phifer, have split.

The couple had been engaged since 2006 when Kanye proposed to her in Italy while on vacation.

An insider told US Weekly that "Kanye is possessed by the tour and everything going on and just couldn't keep it going. They are still friends and have broken up and gotten back together before, so it could work out."

Alexis herself confirms the split, telling the mag, "It's been hard and not been an easy time. I tried to keep things private but yes, it's sad when things end like this and we truly do remain friends. I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met, that's for sure."

We're sure Kanye's not gonna have a problem finding a plethora of women wanting to date him now!

      I suppose its contradictory cos i luv P nasty so much but unless its either kanye or his lady friend we will never really OFFICIALLY know what goes on behind closed doors….wed i agree - it would be silly to get married cos of someone elses wishes!! So Kanye is getting on with makin the bucks - doesnt mean they gonna split!!!

      Poor Kanye! It sucks to lose a parent and keep the rest of your life together. Unfortunatly sometimes those closest to you suffer the most of your abuse because you feel comfortable enough around them to let out your true raw emtions

      Why did she have to release a statement to the press?It’s not like her and Kanye were a media megawatt couple, like the Beckhams, Tomkat, Brandgelina etc..

      Kanye has never been very public about his relationship and I didn’t know who this braod was until today.LMAO!!

      maybee..kanye's camp wanted to be proactive with regards to his image and reputation??

      Maybe she got tired of being his beard. Everybody knows Kanye is gay, but dark-skinned people always get the benefit of the doubt. You wonder why Perez loves him so much. Kudos to his girl for getting out of their fraud of relationship. Hey Kanye, Eddie Murphy is single and waiting for you!

      Everyone (black and into real hip hop) knows that Kanye is gay. His mother (r.i.p) didn't know it - while she was alive he would never have disgraced by coming out the closet. But now….. Well Kanye is going to be only Kanye and that is gay. Give him some time. Their break up had nothing to do with a "tour" - now he don't have to worry about who he's freakin' on tour and it sure won't be any women!

      34

      maybe they broke up because she hates black people.

      What's up with the shit stains on her face? Can't a rich brother do better than that? Reminds me of Deelishus from Flavor of Love and her ghetto-nasty eyelid.

      May his mother RIP, but if she did not want him to marry Alexis Phifer.. I doubt there would be anything she could have done to change his mind about a break up. (unless she walked)

      he's a genious…. i believe it..
      his work is more important..just like all the other genious'.

      The bad thing about dating an artist is the hierarchy of their priorities: 1-themselves; 2- their art; 3 & 4 - you and/or their friends. Le sigh, but sometimes it's worth it.

      i like how she says, "one of the most talented" and not "the most talented" person she's met. to the public eye, it's totally innocent, but it was probably just a passive jab at him.

      Perez, you do know Kanye is gay? Think about it…..he has left clues

      Good. Kanye is one of the biggest f'n mysteries today. Why is he popular? Guy is a f'n idiot and poor excuse for a human being. All his fake onstage crying bout his mom make a black man sick! Get off the stage asshole. U give blacks a bad name.

    56. ginaaaaaaaaaaaaa says – reply to this


      56

      I was actually waiting for this news. I KNEW after his mom passed they would break up. After you lose someone like your mother (like your conscious, makes u do good in life), you kinda say "screw it…" He is now free of anything and can fly like a bird. He doesn't need to impress mama with a good woman anymore…go Kanye, hope you keep urself busy & happy.

      it is hard to date a musician like this. they get so wrapped up in what they are doing they have time for nothing else. from what I hear she is a sweetheart. he will come back to her when his tour is over. IF SHE WILL HAVE HIM….

      yes….it is a real hard world for a " rapper" to be an out gay………but i think he will come out now. his "girlfriend" is gone and his mommys heart won't be broken by the fact that her son loves men…… and timbaland should come out to.
