The media always falls for at least one celebrity April Fools' Day prank - and this year it was American rapper T-Pain who stumped the press.

The media was sent into a frenzy after T-Pain told reporter Dee Lockett from Vulture.com that his friend Robert Pattinson and Fka Twigs had got engaged.

The rapper was talking to Lockett about Twigs when he mentioned "the engagement".

"We met in the studio. Her music's changed a lot since then. But she's on tour so much, and anytime I call her, she's in a different place.

"And she's engaged now, so that's about to be a whole other thing... to ol' Patty (Pattinson). I don't know if she wanted anybody to know that..."

But hours after the engagement gossip became big news, T-Pain revealed it was just a joke.

"Added a little #AprilFools to my interview with Vulture Magazine today. Check it out," he wrote on his Instagram page.

He also posted a photo of two engagement rings.

Twigs and Pattinson, who have strived to keep their relationship low-key, only went public with their romance last year after the actors split from his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart in 2013.
