Kanye West and Alexis Phifer

Rapper Kanye West has ended his engagement to fiance Alexis Phifer. The supposed cause of the breakup? His obsession with his "Glow in the Dark Tour," leaving almost no time for his fiancee. A source close to the couple told UsMagazine.com 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 has spoken out about the breakup as well, telling People.com, "It's always sad when things like this end, and we 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."
