Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper Layzie Bone is to marry his longterm girlfriend Felecia Lindsey after proposing to her at the premiere of his group's new movie, I Tried.

The hip-hop star - real name Steven Howse - went down on bended knee and presented the R&B singer with a five carat sparkler on the red carpet at the event earlier this week, reports AllHipHop.com.

Lindsey, his lover of 13 years and mother of his children, has long referred to Howse as her "husband", but the couple have yet to formally exchange vows.
