After a relatively dry spell with regards to his “national lunch dates,” Twitter influencer Mr Smeg has scored once again.
This time, he is set to go on a date with rapper Gigi Lamayne.
This after shooting his shot at almost every famous woman on his radar, including the likes of international singers Kelly Rowland and Ari Lennox and media personality Pearl Thusi.
While his attempts at wooing the international singers were unsuccessful, he seemed to have had a nice time with Pearl Thusi on their live-streamed date.
On Monday, the man popularly known as Mr Smeg, Twitter user @MichaelBucwa wrote: “Hey @Gigi_Lamayne, You are beautiful and I love your music. May I take you out for lunch?”
“At @thehangawt this time,” interjected DJ and businessman Ashely “Shimza” Raphala, to which Gigi responded “Perfect! Let’s go!”
She later quoted his tweet and responded hours later with a video of herself modelling to the camera and the words “Sure let’s do it.”

Gigi also asked her followers to share outfit ideas for the date with her.
