For a minute there, it seemed as though Rick Ross and Lira Galore/Mercer's relationship was finished, as rumors circulated that Rozay had called off their engagement. Whatever went down there, it seems they're back on track to get married. Lira accompanied Rozay on his recent NYC press run, including The Breakfast Club visit, although she didn't get on camera this time around.
To further cement their relationship, the couple appear in the new Paper magazine. The two take part in a luxurious spread, photographed at Ricky Rozay's Atlanta estate.
Rick Ross also took part in a Q&A with Paper, read a few highlights from that below.
What's something no one knows about you?
That I still collect action figures and play video games. I make sure I have all the Transformers, the ThunderCats... I have a nice spot set up for them at home.
What did you eat for breakfast today?
I ate some fried snapper, salmon croquettes, turkey bacon, eggs, grits. I got all the homies here at my house and we're working on the album, so the chef just made a big soul-food breakfast. But on a normal morning, I keep it light. I probably have like three egg whites and a chicken breast and I'm good.
What are your favorite TV shows?
I've totally been into Narcos for the last month. I love it.
What's the weirdest thing you've read about yourself online?
You see a lot on the Internet so if it's not going to directly affect my business partners [or me], I hardly reach out to correct someone. Instead, my music is used to clarify any bullshit. But I actually woke up recently and read a blog that said me and Lira separated and it involved another rapper. Of course, that was totally fabricated. There was nothing she did to me and vice versa. I got nothing but love and respect for Lira.
