Michael Jackson's teenage daughter Paris Jackson has said that the love messages exchanged between her and aspiring rapper Romeo Hodges were 'just a joke'and that she is still single.

After asking her Twitter.com followers to pray for Hodges following a car accident last month, the pair's friendship appeared to have blossomed into romance this week. When a mutual friend suggested "Yah (sic) should just be girlfriend and boyfriend already" Jackson responded, "idk (I don't know) Romeo Hodges... are we?"
