Prominent rapper, EL, has turned down an invitation to date pretty actress and television presenter, Nikki Samonas.

“It is a compliment for a beautiful girl like Nikki to say such things about me. In fact, she is also my kind of girl but it is unfortunate I am engaged to someone else” the artiste, EL, told Sbowbiz last Monday.

 E.L said he had been I flattered by Nikki’s proposal and he is very grateful for the bold declaration of the Tema-based actress that among all the handsome guys around, it was he that Nikki chose.

A few days ago, Nikki disclosed that she had a crush on EL. “I wish to date someone like E.L, he is cute and I go crazy anytime I see him. Although I haven’t got the I opportunity to tell him yet I hope a to meet him and pour my heart out to him” Nikki told Showbiz in an interview on Sunday.

Asked how long she had been “eyeing” E.L, Nikki replied that it had not been that long a time but had strong feeling for him and could not tell if anyone admired E.L more than she did.

Tema is the base for other top young musicians such as Sarkodie, D Cryme, Stay Jay, R2Bees and Kwaw Kese but Nikki said none of the Tema-based artistes attracted her.

“There are good looking musicians in Tema but I don’t have a crush on any of them but E.L. For now, he is the only rapper who has won my attention”, she said.

Nikki, a graduate of KNUST said she loves dating men because it gave her the opportunity to meet people who matter in society  and also get connected.

She was quoted to have said “Dating is ' not necessarily being intimate. It is more of spending fun time with another person to find out whether you two are compatible; and from there you can either decide to take it to the next level or quit”

Nikki went on to say that most ladies in showbiz circles love dating too but they are generally too timid to come out to say it because of the stigma they may face.
