Long before his days with Amber Rose and the rumors of a relationship with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West was in a committed relationship with Alexis Phifer. West gave Phifer a shout out on his debut album, The College Dropout. The two grew so close they agreed to get married.

The couple split not much after Kanye West's 2007 release, Graduation. His breakup with Alexis Phifer, paired with the death of his mother, led to Kanye West recording 808s & Heartbreak, his R&B debut album. Alexis Phifer choosing to leave Kanye had less to do with his personality than it had to do with his lifestyle.

While she does not have any hard feelings towards Kanye West, they will never be a couple again because Alexis Phifer did not like to be in the spotlight. Phifer said because Amber Rose enjoyed the spotlight, she was able to handle it better than she was able to. Alexis Phifer said she let Kanye West know she was not comfortable in the spotlight and this is why she left him.

Following the experience, Alexis Phifer said she does not see herself getting involved with another rapper in the future.
