The meaning of "Suértela"

The meaning of "Suértela"

I was watching a Colombian comedian, and he said "suertela" and I have no idea what it means. I couldn't find it in the translator. Here's the video, he says it in the last 5 seconds or so. His name is Alejandro Riaño, and I can understand the rest of the video, just not those last five seconds. Here's the link

Is it a Colombian word? Or is it just something I've never come across before

!Suéltala! means "Let her go!"

It comes from the verb "soltar" and is irregular in its conjugation.

Soltar = suelta (informal command) and "la" = her

p.s. The "la" could mean "it" as in "la mesa."

Maybe he means sueltala? meaning let go of her? (from soltar)

Otherwise suerte is a noun for luck. So it may be a made up word to mean something about making somebody lucky? but in spanish you have luck you dont be lucky..

Maybe someone else has heard this word, thats the best i can do on this one.
