Kanye West splits with fiancee

Kanye West and fiancee Alexis Phifer have split, with Phifer telling People Magazine they will remain friends and attributing the break-up partly to his tour schedule.

Sticking with pop engagements, here's one that's not going so well. Or not going at all, in fact. Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer have announced that they have split up. They will remain friends, though, Phifer told People Magazine. She said: "It's always sad when things like this end. I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavours. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met".

The couple announced their engagement last year and had planned to marry last Christmas, but the death of West's mother put plans on hold. Phifer attributed the rapper's busy tour schedule to their split.
