On how the family is dealing with late sister Tytyana Miller’s 2022 death from a fentanyl overdose:
“Losing her, you know, my sister was a great, pure soul. My dad’s foundation and even his [2026] tour, he’s going on tour this year, and it’s focused on mental health. You never really know what someone is going through or what someone has experienced unless you talk to them. We were able to come together as a family, whereas most deaths pull people farther apart. I think it brought us closer. We were working together, always, to help my sister get better, and she was doing good. But you don’t really know. Everyone has an expiration date, and you never really know when that is.”
“She’s in a good place. She was a follower of Christ, so we know that she’s looking down on us and God got her. But one big thing we got from this is that we want to shed light on how you need to speak with people, you need to help people. Mental health is real. And in this day and age, you may be like, ‘I want to hit this joint,’ or this, that and the other, and you don’t know what’s inside of it. So that’s what we’re teaching now. At my camp (Miller’s Fearless Dreamer youth basketball camp) I want to speak on that. Y’all don’t want to play around with any drugs, because you never know what’s in it. And one big thing I was taught is that one decision can change your whole life.”

“We also have her foundation, TYTY’s Parachute Foundation (started by Miller’s mother, Sonya Miller) where we’re shedding light on situations like that. It happened in our family, but it’s a common occurrence in a lot of other families. We’re focused on helping other people, because we experienced it, so we know what it’s like. We want to bring that number down so other people won’t have to go through what we’re going though.”
On his dad, Master P, saving him in the NICU after his premature birth at 2lbs:
“My story is, I was premature. I was two pounds [at birth]. I lived on a machine for two, or two and a half months. My grandpa said I was the size of a frog. Honestly, if my dad wasn’t who he was, I wouldn’t be here. I think he paid, like, a quarter of a million dollars in hospital expenses just to make sure I could live. It’s a blessing. But, yeah, I’m definitely highly in my faith. It’s a miracle of God. That’s why I created my company, Fearless Dreamer, because I know without God, I wouldn’t be here. That’s why my favorite bible scripture is Corinthians 5:7, ‘For we walk by faith, not by sight.’”
On being the frontrunner to play Master P in his father’s upcoming biopic:
“My dad has a biopic [being made], it’s called Only God Can Judge Me: Master P, so I’m trying to prep for maybe playing young Master P. I always joke around and tell him that he’s 1996 Master P and I’m 2026 Master P. I’m with acting coaches now trying to get all the way right. My dad, he’s a character, but I know him and it would be so good for me. A lot of families have had success with this. In the Michael Jackson movie, his nephew played Michael Jackson. The N.W.A. movie had Ice Cube’s son playing Ice Cube. That’s always been a goal of mine, like a dream, to play my dad.”
“The chapter of my dad’s life that would be most fun to play would probably be right after he made Make ‘Em Say Uhh, because he’s at the top of the top. Watching his music videos and seeing all his interviews, that would be a great feeling [to play]. I’m going to be playing him during the younger part of his life, so the most challenging part to play, I would say, is when he got hurt playing basketball. I know how it felt when I got hurt playing basketball and I had to go home, and that would be challenging to play because it’s going to hit home for me. I tore my leg from my hip and my season was over, and he tore his ACL and his season was over. I think that one’s going to feel like it’s real. And also, I’ve been in LA so long, I think I’m losing my southern slang. I’ve gotta get that back [for the film].”
