Nii Kpakpo Thompson reveals why he is no longer host of Date Rush

When TV3 announced that Season 4 of its popular show Date Rush was premiering on Sunday, December 3, a lot of fans were happy and shared their excitement on social media.

For some, the excitement also extended to host Nii Kpakpo Thompson, whose funny antics on the show had increased its popularity and people were looking forward to what he would be bringing to the table this time around.

However, when the show aired, it was a different driver in the seat and not Nii Kpakpo. 3FM Drive host, Giovani Caleb was unveiled as the new host.  

This move by TV3 got people talking on social media with some asking why the change and where Nii Kpakpo was.
