Kanye West Calls Off Engagement

Grammy Award-winning rapper Kanye West is solo again.

Designer Alexis Phifer told People that she and West called off their year-and-a-half engagement but they still "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."

West and the designer of the "Ghita" clothing line, had been dating since 2002 and finally announced their engagement in 2006.
