Kanye West is reportedly a single man again.
The 44-year-old rapper has officially ended things with model Vinetria, who he was rumored to be dating following his split from Kim Kardashian.
Earlier this year, news broke that the shoe designer was seeing Vinetria "for a while," after being pictured at his Donda Academy's debut basketball in Minneapolis last month.
According to Page Six, the former flames were "hooking up for a few months," but now they are done for good. The Yeezus rapper has since unfollowed the 22-year-old model on Instagram.
West was believed to be using his short-lived romance with Vinetria to make Kardashian jealous after previously stating he still wanted to be with the reality star, despite her blossoming romance with SNL funnyman Pete Davidson.
"Kanye is obsessed with Kim," an insider dished to OK!. "Since she has been hanging out with Pete Davidson, Kanye has been doing everything he can to get her attention — so it should be no surprise that days after Kim was spotted with Pete, Kanye dating rumors pop up."
"Turning up at his late mother's Academy debut basketball game in Minneapolis is hardly subtle," the source continued. "Kanye wanted to be seen, especially by Kim. He did the same thing a few months ago with model Irina Shayk. The problem is Kim doesn't care."

The Yeezy designer previously admitted he wasn't over Kardashian after claiming she was "still" his wife during an appearance on the "Drink Champs" podcast last month. "I ain't see the papers. We're not even divorced," he said at the time.
He also insisted the pair's four children — North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 3 and Psalm, 2 — "want their parents to stay together," adding: "I want…us to be together."
Meanwhile, the KKW Beauty creator, 41, has been cozying up to Davidson ever since appearing as guest host for Saturday Night Live back in October.
After sharing an on-screen kiss in one of the skits, Kardashian and Davidson made their romance a reality, as they have been spotted going on romantic dates and even showing off some mild PDA. In fact, the brunette babe plans to introduce her new beau to her kids at her family's famous Christmas party.
Meanwhile, Kardashian appears to be do keen on cutting ties with the rapper, given that she filed to be legally single earlier this month and to have her maiden name be restored. Her legal decision came one day after the Grammy Award winner pleaded for the two to reconcile.
While performing "Runaway" at his Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert in Los Angeles, Calif., on Thursday, December 9, the Donda crooner changed the lyrics and sang: "I need you to run right back to me. More specifically, Kimberly."
Kardashian is also reportedly re-launching her KKW beauty line without the "W" for West.
