KANYE NAMED MAN OF THE YEAR BY GQ!


After a year of both tremendous highs and lows for the Chi Town MC/producer, Kanye West is now gracing the cover of GQ magazine for their Men Of the Year issue.

According to USA Today, the issue will hit newsstands on November 27 and will see Kanye sharing the honor with fellow men of the year Bill Clinton and Daniel Craig, who will also have their own covers. A candid Kanye spoke on several issues including the possibility of him marrying his current fiancé, Alexis Phifer.

"I'm just going to go and get married -- I'm not going to make a big deal out of it," he said. "It's not to prove anything to anyone -- it's for me, for stability in my life, and I'm so happy that I found someone that I really love, that challenges me, that keeps my life interesting, that's just as crazy as I am."

West and Phifer spent the weekend in Paris, where he performed Saturday night as he broke down after introducing his song "Hey Mama," off of his sophomore disc, Late Registration. Ye stood in front of the crowd with his head in hand and was consoled by members of his band before taken backstage. In a show of resilience, the rapper returned to finish his set with the appropriate "Stronger."
