Rick Ross' Ex Lira Galore: I Want To Be Like Karrueche Tran

Karrueche Tran is the prototype of post-rapper breakup success ... which is why Rick Ross' ex Lira Galore has reached out to Tran's camp for an instruction manual.

Sources close to Lira tell us she met with Karrueche's manager, Jacob York, this week in Atlanta to see if he could provide career guidance. Lira -- whose engagement with Ross ended last week -- was impressed with how Karrueche remained relevant after her breakup with Chris Brown.

Lira's got plenty of modeling under her belt, but what she really wants to do is act. Karrueche has made the transition, acting in "The Bay" and "Vanity."

Here's a free tip ... keep your body hot and ass cheeks exposed. Take it from Karrueche.
