Superstar rapper Kanye West is engaged to marry his girlfriend, People magazine reported on Friday.
The magazine’s Web site, citing unnamed sources close to the singer, said West, 29, proposed to his girlfriend, Alexis, during a recent overseas trip, but added that the woman’s last name and occupation were not immediately available. However, the magazine said she was West’s girlfriend prior to his near-fatal car crash in October 2002.
Prior to his success as a solo artist, West had achieved fame as a producer for Roc-a-Fella Records, where he produced hits for artists ranging from Jay-Z to Alicia Keys.
Representatives for West could not immediately be reached for comment.
