Mel B: Nelson Mandela Tried to Set Me Up With His Cousin

Former Spice Girl Mel B made an astonishing confession in a video to promote a new television.

She says upon meeting Nelson Mandela at the Pretoria presidential residence while in Johannesburg for a concert in 1997, the 91-year-old former president of South Africa offered to set her up with his cousin.

"Nelson Mandela was trying to pawn me off to date one of his cousins and I was trying to say to him I'm not really interested in one of your cousins, and he said 'No, no, no. Come and meet him right now', he was trying to play matchmaker," Mel B says.

She's now married with two kids.
