Dutch rapper Lil Kleine has disclosed that he reached out to fellow artist Boef for permission before starting a relationship with Boef's former fiancée, Selma Omari.

Scholten, whose real name is Jorik Scholten, contacted his close friend during the early stages of his romance with Omari to clear the air and ensure there was no animosity between them.
"I sent him a message to let him know that I'm having a good time with her and that I could stop it, because we were still in an early stage," Lil Kleine said.
According to the documentary, Boef responded positively to the message, showing maturity and supporting his friend's new relationship.
"He replied that he really appreciated my message and that I should do my thing," Lil Kleine added.
The relationship sparked intense speculation on social media due to the strong bond between the two rappers, especially after Boef supported Scholten when the latter faced public cancellation.
Scholten opened up about the immense difficulty of finding romance while constantly under public scrutiny, noting that his extreme fame usually disrupts traditional courting.
"For me, it's impossible to date someone because I'm too famous," he said.

Despite his usual reservations about being spotted by paparazzi, Scholten stated that he feels comfortable being seen in public places like the Jordaan district or the Izakaya restaurant with Omari without hiding behind sunglasses.
