Life hasn’t been easy for Hot Boy rapper Turk of Cash Money fame since his release from prison. The New Orleans native, and his wife, will be appearing on the forthcoming season of Iyanla: Fix My Life.
Turk’s episode happens to be the season premiere, airing Saturday, September 30 at 9 p.m. / 10 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.
The season begins with Iyanla traveling to Memphis to work with former rapper Turk of Hot Boys fame, who once performed alongside megastar Lil Wayne. At 21 years old, Turk had platinum albums, money was abundant, and he had fallen in love with his new girlfriend, Erica. But only two months after meeting Erica, Turk’s life fell apart when he was involved in a shootout with police at his home.Four years after his release, Turk and his wife Erica are struggling to save their marriage from Turk’s deep-seated paranoia stemming from the shooting and his fear that his former acquaintances are determined to get revenge. Iyanla also works with Erica to help her find her identity, which she has lost sight of through the multiple traumas she has suffered since she first met Turk. Ultimately, Iyanla works to uncover the layers of trauma in both of their lives that have prevented them from moving forward.
Sounds heavy.
