‘You Look So Happy’: Fans Say Lil’ Mo Got That Post-Breakup ‘Glow’

When Lil’ Mo announced that she split with her husband Karl Dargan in May a lot of people didn’t believe her. But now, months later, folks not only seem to have accepted that Dargan is permanently out of the picture, they said Mo looks wonderful as a result.

On Saturday, the singer, reality star and radio personality shared an Instagram photo of herself where she sported a peach-colored sweatshirt with turquoise hair flecked with green highlights, and she got all kinds of compliments. But not just because of the hair color, which many seemed to love, but because she appeared happy and at ease.

“Serious break up glow!” one person wrote in the comments.

“Sisss the GLO up is ❣️❣️,” wrote another.

“Yasss ol’ skool Mo is Bak 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍,” a third person chimed in.

Another person asked the 40-year-old to stay in that positive place, because she seems really content these days.

“You look sooooo happy!!! Stay in this place your in! YAHWEH is with you Mo! ❤️❤️❤️,” that person commented.

Some may recall Dargan was caught FaceTiming another woman when he and Mo were on “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition” earlier this year, and it wasn’t the first time he was accused of cheating.

“I don’t do bum s–t or flock with peasants,” Mo wrote in a May Instagram message that showed her wearing a crown. “That s–t beneath me. F–k nigga free GLOW! Get rid of the dead weight and level up. Told y’all i was gonna get ME back.”

Then a few days later, the “Super Woman” singer gave her fans an update on how she was doing as a single woman. 

“SINGLE!!! Looks good on me,” wrote Mo on May 26. “Happy feels sooooo wonderful. GLOW LITTY all them want get WIT ME!! The streets waited for this announcement!! IN REAL LIFE.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
