Here's the latest from the rumor mill: Soulja Boy Tell'em is engaged to video vixen, Rosa Acosta.
Several gossip sites have jumped on the rumor, claiming the 19-year-old rap star recently proposed. However, they say both are hell bent at keeping the news quiet.
The rumors look like they are just rumors though.
A rep for Acosta released a statement to MTV News, saying the reports of the pair being engaged are "false."
"So the story is that the proposal is false," Garner said in an e-mail. "Miss Acosta is still very much single."
The rumors started when photos of Acosta and Soulja Boy together starting popping up on her website. In one photo, she is seen wearing what seems to be an engagement ring, but her rep insists that the ring is a gift from her mother and not the rapper.
"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," Garner explained. "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 website. 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."
In response to the engagement report, Soulja Boy simply tweeted: "LOL."
Acosta is a 25-year-old model who moved to the U.S. in 2006 to build her modeling resume. Since coming, she's appeared in music videos for Diddy, Drake, Mario, and 50 Cent, among others.
