Master P Drops His Rap Moniker; ‘It Marks My Manhood’

whitea200 · 08-13-2008, 11:46 AM

Don’t call Master P...Master P anymore. The New Orleans rap mogul announced today (August 13) that he now wants to be refereed to as P. Miller.

Via a press release, P. Miller (born Percy Miller) explained that he decided to drop the moniker that brought him fame and success because he has matured and doesn’t want his accomplishments to be overshadowed by his rap past.

“I'm changing my name because Master P is who I used to be. I call it my childhood and P. Miller marks my manhood. I wouldn't change my past because it's groomed me to be the man I am today,” P. Miller said via the statement. “People grow mentally and spiritually through life experiences, but when you come from hip-hop it's almost impossible to move past the stereotypes associated with it.”

“I've branched out into so many different arenas that range from being the first African-American to have a clothing line at Wal-Mart, to writing books, and speaking on Capitol Hill, but all that gets overshadowed because I come from the hip-hop industry,” he continued. “There're a lot of people out there, who are afraid to grow up and change, but I'm not and P. Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller the entrepreneur, the business man."”

P. Miller cleaned up his ac t in 2007 when he vowed never to curse on his records again and launched a clean-lyric record label called Take A Stand Records.

Miller gained fame and success in the 90's via his label No Limit Records. He won 5 Grammys and sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
