She Must Not Be a Gold Digger: Kanye Engaged

Posted Aug 11th 2006 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

Grammy winner and Bush loyalist (kidding) Kanye West is engaged, according to PEOPLE magazine.

Kanye reportedly proposed to his girlfriend, Alexis, while overseas for two weeks recently.

Kanye has become one of the most prominent figures in pop culture over the past couple of years, not only for his music, but his original sense of style. He also made headlines for his choice words for the President during last year's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

4. I love his song "Gold Digger", but I am not black so I have to sing to myself when no one else is around. At least that what my girlfriend tells me.

Good luck to him.

15. Kanye is ugly as hell, uneducated, and a nasty black mf. He thinks bc he has money, it makes him speciall, but he is still dirty trash. Talkin sh*t about women and blaming actions of his own ignorant race on the president! Whenever he talks, its all hatred, stereotypical stuff that has no validity. I'm sure the girl he's marrying IS a gold digger because he has a wretched disposition, nasty face, and an ignorant mind.
