Lira Galore Opens Up About Her Split with Rick Ross on ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’
Throughout the years, Lira Galore, birth name Lira Mercer, has been linked to rappers from Drake to Meek Mill; but, the biggest one yet was her relationship and former engagement to MMG’s head honcho, Rick Ross. The two were only engaged for two months until they reportedly got into a huge fight which was so bad that the 22-year old at the time immediately moved all of her stuff out of Rozay’s Georgia mansion.
Here we are exactly a year since the engagement and Mercer made her way to see Iyanla to fix her life. She revealed many details regarding the break up, where it seems that the “Hustlin'” rapper was being unfaithful:
Our relationship was phenomenal, but then he changed. He was doing a lot of sneaky things behind my back. I’m angry because I want our black men to value us, and they don’t.
[I was] being naïve, listening to anything I was being told.
She also revealed that the break-up resulted in her developing a drinking problem because it helped her deal with the pain.
When I’m angry, I drink. I like the way it makes me feel. Makes me forget my pain, my hurt, my heartbreak. Alcohol helps, but sometimes I act out.
This episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life is set to air Saturday, Sept. 17, at 9 p.m. ET on OWN.
Tyla and Zara Larsson seem to have broken the internet with “She Did It Again,” their new collaborative single. Produced by Ari PenSmith, the track serves as the second single from forthcoming sophomore album A-Pop. Fans have already drawn comparisons between the “She Did It Again” video and Beyoncé and Shakira‘s 2007 “Beautiful Liar.”
Tyla teased the collaboration last week with hidden figure images in the single’s cover art, leaving fans to guess who the featured artist was. The collaborator was revealed to be Zara Larsson on Wednesday, April 15.
“No ordinary love, this is propane, no, it’s not safe / Baby, this a dangerous game for you / Baby, this is all child’s play to me,” Tyla sings on the track.
“She Did It Again” follows “Chanel,” which Tyla released in October and has continued to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Tyla announced A-Pop at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on earlier this year. Her self-titled debut arrived in 2024, and she has since released the WWP EP featuring Wizkid ahead of this new era.
After revealing the cover art earlier this week, JT returns with her new single “Numb.” Produced by Danes Blood, Ben10K, Chicken, and BAMBII, a limited signed 7-inch vinyl of the single is available for pre-order now exclusively at thegirljtworld.com.
“I ain’t never been a fake b*tch ever / I can never hang with a lame b*tch never,” she raps on the track.
The release comes off her surprise appearance at Coachella last weekend. JT appeared during Little Simz‘s set to debut their collaboration “Game On,” served as DJ and creative director for a Numb-inspired activation at the Do LaB stage, and hosted an afterparty at the Red Bull Mirage.
“Numb” follows “Girls Gone Wild,” released in November 2025, and her 2024 mixtape City Cinderella, which debuted in the Top 5 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
