Sensational Ghanaian Afro-pop songstress, Rebecca Acheampong known in showbiz circles as Becca has described as malicious and unfounded recent media speculations that she is dating the internationally acclaimed football superstar, Michael Essien.
Speaking to the P&P about the media reports, a distressed Becca vehemently denied having any intimate relationship with the Chelsea and Black star midfield star. �I have never met Michael anywhere before not to talk about dating him. I only see him on TV doing what he does best. I am surprised how some people can go round making allegations they cannot substantiate. How can I go out with a man I have not met before. This is ridiculous�.
She disclosed that since the issue made the headlines, friends, family and school mates have been calling to find out if indeed he was going out with the soccer maestro. �Whilst some say they have heard I have a child with Michael, others say he has bought me a brand new Range Rover vehicle. All these are unfounded allegations. I wonder how a journalist can write something like that without any investigations. It all began a few weeks ago when a during a radio interview on Peace FMs Entertainment Review programme some anonymous person sent a text to ask if she was seeing Michael.
Though Becca denied and insisted she never knew the football star, the media somehow picked it up and blew it out of proportion. Sometime last year, there were media reports that Becca was seeing the Camerounian superstar, Samuel Etoo, which turned out to be false. Indeed Becca only featured on a documentary on the life and achievements of the footballer.
