HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Soulja Boy Tell’em does not have a new fiance, contrary to the rumor mill.
On Thursday, rumors began circulating that the hip-hop star had gotten engaged to Rosa Acosta. The fuss began after several photos of the pair were published on the model’s Web site, including one in which she appeared to be sporting an engagement ring.
Acosta’s manager, Charles Garner, tells MTV News that all the hoopla was about nothing, pointing out that the ring in question was actually a gift from her mother.
“Miss Acosta is still very much single,” said her rep. “She was in L.A. filming the Chris Brown video (featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz) with several other models. Soulja Boy was in L.A. He’s been with friends with Rosa for awhile and asked if she and the other girls wanted to go to dinner.
“So he took her and four other girls to dinner, [during] which some playful pictures were taken as ‘behind the scenes’ for Miss Acosta’s Web site. The ring she has on her finger is a ring that was given to her by her mother about three or four years ago and it was not given to her by Soulja Boy. The picture that everyone has up is a harmless picture where he’s kissing her on the cheek. And there’s about four other pictures where you see him at the table with her and the other models and he’s hugging everybody.”
