Master Pbuilt a name for himself as a rapper, actor and entrepreneur but has said being a father is the “most important job” he’s ever had.

The “I’m Bout It, Bout It” rapper married musician and actress Sonya C in 1989, and they share seven children together. They welcomed their son Romeo in 1989, son Vercy in 1991, daughter Tytyana in 1992, daughter Inty in 1993, daughter Itali in 1999, son Hercy in 2002 and son Mercy in 2005.

Master P, who was born Percy Robert Miller Sr., also welcomed daughter Cymphonique in 1996 with another partner. In addition, he and Sonya C raised their nephew Veno Miller after the producer’s brother, Kevin Miller, was killed in a robbery in the 1990s. Sonya C filed for divorce from Master P in 2013, but the rapper wasn’t declared legally single until over a decade later in May 2022, perTMZ.

During an appearance onOWN Spotlight: They Call Me Dadin September 2021, Master P opened up about his role as a father.

“I have a basketball team,” he said. “We like the Brady Bunch of Hip-Hop, and I just love it because family is like business. You got to take care of the family, you got to take care of your business, you got to take care of your loved ones. So, that’s the most important job that I ever had.”

Sadly,Tytyana diedat 25 in May 2022, after a journey with mental illness and substance abuse that was chronicled on the family’s reality show,Master P’s Family Empire.

Speaking with theWall Street Journalin July 2019, he opened up about encouraging his kids to get an education.

“You know what’s different about my family with me as a parent, I’m not pushing my kids to be entertainers. I’m pushing them to go to college,” Master P said. “Now, if you’re good at entertainment, we’re gonna help you explore that, but it’s education first in my household … If you’re an entertainer, then you need something to fall back on.”

Master P has made it a point to instill a good work ethic in his children. During an interview withForbesin December 2015, he opened up about how his impoverished upbringing inspired him to “break the negative cycle and pass that on to my kids.”

“They need to understand economics, they need to understand integrity, and they need to understand being humble,” he explained. “They need to understand their character is really all they can take with them — if you give your word, you have to keep it.”

Master P also told the outlet that he’s taught his sons and daughters to value their self-worth and passion over money.

“I teach my kids that you’ve got to have something else that makes you hungry for success, because you don’t have to overcome poverty,” he said. “You must do something that you love, that is true to you, and you know you’re not compromising what you’re worth.”
