Kanye West is Back on the Market

Kenye West & Alexis Phifer have split up!
After a year and half-long engagement, Kanye West and Alexis Phifer called it off. Alexis, a designer, claimed she and the rapper remain friends, although their relationship is over.

“It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer tells People. “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.”

Alexis put a happy spin on the end of the relationship, but a friend said the couple had serious problems and couldn’t work things out.

“They’d been having problems,” a pal of West’s says. “Kanye is really focused on his show; he’s putting everything into the show right now. Alexis is a nice girl, but Kanye has been going through a rough time. They hit a rough patch and for now they’ve split.”

According to the friend, Phifer and West, both 30, had been spending less time together in the last few weeks as the Grammy-winning star prepared for his nationwide “Glow in the Dark” tour. “I haven’t seen [Alexis] around at all the last few times I’ve seen him recently,” the friend added.

He seems like a total nightmare to deal with. Poor girl.
