Master P Talks Managing Meek Mill & Stepping Away When He Signed With Rick Ross
It’s been a full week for Master P. The No Limit mogul is back with another hot take, this time with talents who worked with him on differing projects. Both Fat Trel and Jess Hilarious revealed their stories with Percy Miller, much o the mogul’s dismay. There has been an indirect back-and-forth of sorts about each of their grievances, and as that settles, a new soundbite has Miller back in the viral spotlight.
Master P recently sat down with The Gauds Show, where he spoke about the days when he used to manage Meek Mill. Miller shared that he was a believer from the start, but P had to bow out when Meek didn’t take his advice. “I was Meek Mill’s manager. My and James, when he first started,” said Miller.
Master P Explains Leaving Meek’s Management Team
“So, let me tell you why I stopped,” he continued. “I knew that Meek was talented, at the beginning. We had that song. I was like, ‘Meek, you don’t need to sign with nobody.’ Meek was like, ‘I’m gonna sing with Ross.’ I had looked at the contract, and Ross, tell y’all from this day, Ross a good dude. But he ain’t have his business straight.”
“So, at that time—Ross got his sh*t together now. He a boss. But I’m sayin’, at that time you involvin’, I seen it,” Miller further shared. He advised Meek against inking the deal, but the Philadelphia rapper decided otherwise. “I had the crystal ball, but [Meek] ain’t want to listen. I told James, ‘Hey, it’s cool, you gon’ handle that.’ I ain’t never got mad at Meek. I just walked away from the deal ’cause if you don’t see what I see, I been there already.” The host noted that if Miller had stayed involved in that deal, he would have been blamed for any fallout.
Master P Says Meek Learned His Lesson
“But look what God did, he had to go find out on his own, and now, he’s in a better position. But I’m tellin’ you, I knew he was a boss from jump.” Check out the clip above and tell us where you think Meek Mill’s career would be if he kept Master P as a manager.
Jess Hilarious Responds To Master P, Says She’s Not “Playing”
The debates between Master P and his artistic collaborators continue, as Jess Hilarious recently responded to his claims. Moreover, Hilarious said that she was “not playing” about payments P owes her, in response to his dismissal of her complaints. Furthermore, she said that the complaint was never about a second check not arriving, but rather missing upfront payments. For those unaware, this debacle began when Fat Trel said Master P had unfulfilled promises when it came to movie deals, music releases, and general support as a business partner. Still, Hilarious built off of his testimony to go at the No Limit boss for his dubious dealings.
“Ayo, nah, I ain’t read this part,” Jess remarked about P’s comments on the situation. “He’s like ‘She’s just joking, she be playing, y’all know her. She was joking about a second check that was never in her contract. That’s the narrative they ran with for clickbait and fake headlines. Thank God for receipts!’ You think out of everybody out there right now, I’mma come after you for clickbait and fake headlines? I don’t have to do that, sir! Now, he playing around with me, because I never said it was a second check. It was money paid upfront and then it was supposed to have been another $15,000. Yeah, I didn’t get the other half of my money. Stop playing with me like this was check 1, check 2. No.”
Jess Hilarious Checks Master P Again
For his part, the New Orleans mogul took to Instagram and made various comments about these accusations. “I love @jesshilarious_official and I know she was just cracking jokes because she signed her contract and got paid what she was owed for I Got The Hook Up 2 but if she tryna squeeze me for another 10k she got that.” Also, in reference to the Fat Trel situation, he made a difference between artistry and business, shading those he deems ungrateful. “That’s one of the reasons why I got out of the music industry and into the product game. Product don’t talk back.”
Meanwhile, these comments aren’t necessarily anything new for P. In fact, he addressed multiple artist disagreements in the past. What’s more is that he took it a step further by saying that nobody should speak on him if they haven’t connected in over seven years. Regardless of what you think on that, come back to HNHH for the latest on Jess Hilarious and Master P.
Master P Responds To Jess Hilarious & Fat Trel Accusations
Master P recently addressed accusations of mismanagement, withheld money, and mistreatment from collaborators Jess Hilarious and Fat Trel. Moreover, both have issues with the No Limit boss thanks to false movie promises, lack of artistic support, and unfulfilled payments. While P didn’t address every little detail, he responded to these claims in a lengthy Instagram post and video. “I’ve only given people opportunities,” he began. “Ive never forced an artist to make music or go into the studio. It’s sad that it’s always us against us. But I’m going to keep educating the ones that want to learn and grow. And to everyone I’ve crossed paths with, I wish them success.
“We were ahead of our time,” he continued. “This was 2013 LV Mob, @alleyboy_don a Real G though and I Respect him to the end. We didn’t Pop back then because we didn’t have a Hit Record, we only had Street Records that didn’t cross over. I invested in this project, lost on it and I still haven’t been able to make money from streaming. That’s one of the reasons why I got out of the music industry and into the product game. Product don’t talk back.
Master P Responds To Jess Hilarious
However, P also took more direct aim at Jess in particular and refuted her claims. “I love @jesshilarious_official and I know she was just cracking jokes because she signed her contract and got paid what she was owed for I Got The Hook Up 2 but if she tryna squeeze me for another 10k she got that.
“One thing about the Truth it can’t be changed & It Will Always Come to Light,” he concluded. “What they meant for harm, God will use for good. I’m going to Keep doing the right thing, that’s why bigger blessings Keep coming.” Meanwhile, this recent message comes about a week after his last comments addressing negativity against him. “It should be a law,” he said about not validating perspectives from people who he hasn’t heard from in years. “After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to get on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations! If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, you don’t deserve to talk about them.” Regardless of your take, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Master P and his tribulations.
Jess Hilarious Claims Master P Owes Her $15K: “That Man Will Talk A Good Game”
Master P may have recently said he doesn’t want to hear about entertainers having grievances with him, but Jess Hilarious made a revelation on The Breakfast Club. The radio station has been filtering in guest hosts now that Angela Yee has moved on. This week, Jess joined Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, claiming that Master P owes her a pretty penny from a previous project.
The crew opened the segment by referencing Percy Miller’s podcast interview. “His comments are inspired by his former artist Fat Trel,” said Jess. “I didn’t even know that was his artist.” Miller further joked that if he hasn’t dealt with an artist in over seven years, they shouldn’t be able to talk about him. He quipped there should be a statute of limitations placed on complaints.
Jess Hilarious Shares Her Story
“I don’t care if it was seven years or eleven years,” Jess also stated. “If you did something, and I have something to say, that’s just what it is. You know what I’m sayin’? You not the only one out here being talked about. We got Diddy. People still talkin’ ’bout him. People talkin’ ’bout Mase and what happened to him. [Jay-Z]. So many people, so you not the only person.”
“Basically, it all boils down to this. Fat Trel said that he was promised by Master P that he would be put in a Menace II Society sequel that never came to fruition,” Jess continued. She called Trel speaking on Miller “a bit of a temper tantrum,” but she added, “I do believe him because that man will talk a good game to you. Even with me, I Got the Hook Up. I’m still owed some bread for that. I’m not gon’ lie. I ain’t gon’ lie.” She joked that she still needs to be paid for one scene after staying there for 13 hours. Additionally, Jess claimed she charges $15,000 per skit.
Master P Interview Creates Waves
As previously stated, Master P recently spoke about his former artists or entertainers. “If you moved on 10 or 15 or 20 years after me, why is you talkin’ about me? How could an artist be mad at me? Let me tell y’all what my motto was: if you don’t want to be with me, I don’t want to be with you. It was almost like in a relationship. I ain’t tryin’ to hold you back. And so, a lot of these artists, go back and check. Whenever they say they didn’t want to be with No Limit or they feel that they could go and move on, I tear they contract up.”
“It should be a law. After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to get on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations! If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, you don’t deserve to talk about them.”
Master P Reacts To Negativity From His Former Artists: “You Still Thinkin’ About Me?”
If you have something negative to say about your time with Master P, just ensure it’s under the statute of limitations. The seven-year limit was imposed by Percy Miller during his appearance on The Gaud Show. It was then that he joked about his former artists sitting down for interviews to express their past grievances. According to the music icon, if he hasn’t seen you in almost a decade, you shouldn’t speak about him.
“If you moved on 10 or 15 or 20 years after me, why is you talkin’ about me? How could an artist be mad at me? Let me tell y’all what my motto was: if you don’t want to be with me, I don’t want to be with you. It was almost like in a relationship. I ain’t tryin’ to hold you back. And so, a lot of these artists, go back and check. Whenever they say they didn’t want to be with No Limit or they feel that they could go and move on, I tear they contract up.”

Miller said even when artists wanted to part ways, he never took any additional money from them. “I let them go! And some, I didn’t even sign contracts with. Who y’all know, in this business, allow people to go sign with other companies, but they never talks bout those other companies after they moved on. They still talkin’ about me. That make me feel good. You still thinking ’bout me?”
No Limit’s head honcho got a good chuckle from his own remarks, but he was fiercely serious. “It should be a law. After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to get on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations! If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, you don’t deserve to talk about them.”

In the clip, Miller didn’t name a particular artist, but recently, Fat Trel reflected on his beef with the Rap legend. Trel claims P poised him to star in the sequel to Menace II Society, even asking him to move to Los Angeles. However, Trel claimed he lived in the City of Angels for seven months, and the film wasn’t mentioned, nor was he entered into any acting classes. Trel added he felt disrespected and lied to.
50 Cent Calls Master P “A Good Dude,” Says Romeo Is Only Person Who Didn’t Get Paid
Throughout the last few weeks of 2022, a nasty social media spat broke out between Master P and his son, Romeo Miller. The two found themselves publicly feuding about money matters. Specifically, the 33-year-old claims he was never paid for the work he did on Rap Snacks.
Miller says he put in 15 free years of work at the company under the assumption that his “payday would come.” He further accused his father of attempting to “gaslight and break [him]” while refusing to take “accountability [for] his mistakes/greed.” Things were undeniably tense between the duo for a few weeks. Thankfully, they recently linked up to settle their differences and put the beef behind them.
Master P and his son may be ready to move on from their feud, but that doesn’t mean 50 Cent is done talking about it. Earlier this month, the No Limit CEO claimed to be “the first person to believe in” the “I Get Money” hitmaker. “Nobody else believed in him,” P shared on the Montgomery & Co. podcast recently.
“I seen the vision, like this guy’s a hard worker. He has a lot of talent. So, I’m going to put my money up to put him on tour — which is a blessing,” the 52-year-old went on. While responding to these comments on Instagram today (February 9), the BMF producer made it known that he has no issues with what was being said.
Reposting a snippet from the interview, 50 wrote in the caption, “Master P a good dude. I never heard nobody say no bad shit about him. Except [for] Romeo he paid everybody.” Fans have been cracking plenty of jokes in the comment section. “50 said we both got unappreciative ass-son syndrome,” one person quipped.
Aside from stirring up trouble on social media, 50 Cent also seems eager to get back into the music game. He revealed that Dr. Dre will be responsible for producing his next album. Additionally, the New Yorker teased some upcoming collaborations with industry moguls. Firstly, there’s his “Crack A Bottle” co-rapper, Eminem, who’s apparently sent him a few new tracks.
Additionally, Carl Lammare of Billboard says that Nas has recruited the Power producer to join him on King’s Disease 4. An estimated release date for the project remains unknown, though it was just a few months ago when Hit-Boy and his lyricist friend shared KD3. Revisit that project here, and read what else Fif had to say about his upcoming musical releases here.
Master P Claims To Be “The First Person To Believe In” 50 Cent
Master P recently claimed that he, out of all the rap peers at the time, was “the first person to believe in” 50 Cent. For some fans, this might be a tough connection, given they’re based in the West and East Coasts, respectively. However, let’s not forget that 50’s most iconic collaborators are Compton’s Dr. Dre and Detroit’s Eminem. Regardless, the No Limit Records boss recently spoke to WNBA star Renee Montgomery and her family on the Montgomery & Co. podcast. In it, he revealed just why he chose to take a chance on Fif.
“Ya know, the internet will take it and be like ‘Oh, you did this.’ No. I’m the first person to believe in him [50 Cent],” he stated. “That’s basically what you heard. I think a lot of people when they interview people, they don’t say that.” Moreover, he explained why he chose to fund his first four shows. “Nobody else believed in him,” he elaborated. “I seen the vision, like this guy’s a hard worker. He has a lot of talent. So, I’m going to put my money up to put him on tour — which is a blessing.”
Furthermore, he asked the podcast members to consider other people who are credited with the Queens legend’s come-up. “Think about it,” he said. “Would they say that about Jimmy Iovine or any of these other white executives? They wouldn’t say that. So, I invested in somebody I believed in — I don’t know what happened back at that time — but something just happened to where I’m like, I paid him for all the shows.
“I’m the first person that believed in him…I saw the vision…that’s a blessing.” – @MasterPMiller goes into detail about being the first person to ever take @50cent on tour.

“I didn’t know he was going to blow up and sell two million records. Nobody knew that. I just thought it was a great product,” he went on. “I invested in it and then something happened to where we had to come back and do it. His dates wasn’t available so by time he was able to do it [tour] it worked out. That’s why we’re able to be friends today.” On his end, 50 backed up much of what P talked about.
“What I’ll say about P is he was slick,” the “In Da Club” MC expressed. “He came, he gave me the money for the eight shows, right? We did four of them. He said, ‘Aw man, something happened we gonna have to take a break. We’ll just come back and do the other four later.’ When I came back to do the other four, I had already sold two million records. He had already paid me so I had to do the shows, he knew! He was like, ‘This motherf***er’s on fire! This is gonna go off.’”
Despite maybe feeling a bit finessed, Fif showed the Master nothing but love “P is prolific, man,” he told Big Boy. “You see how Snoop’s respect for Master P is? He’s one of those guys where, he’ll find a way. Even if he’s hitting a spot at the moment: anybody who has a long enough career has peaks and valleys in it. But he’s one of those guys that’ll figure it out.” However, after his comments, many believed that 50 Cent actually called P out. Also in his conversation with the Montgomerys, P aired out his frustrations with Internet narratives.
“That’s why I got out of the music business to begin with,” the New Orleans native expressed. “Say for instance a guy come to me and I pay for their rent, cars, put money in their pocket, for a year, two years, five years — never made no money. Now, you move on and go to somebody else and instead of saying, ‘Man that was a blessing. I came to Master P. He blessed me. He took me out the ghetto or wherever I was at, put me in a safe place or help me get out of prison, did all these things.’
“But then, when you move on you trying to think, ‘Oh well what P do for me?’ P opened up opportunities for you and your career. That’s what I’ve done for a lot of people. But, it’s a shame people don’t look at it like that.” Interestingly, P and Fif also have father-son rivalries in common. In fact, 50 commented on the particular clash between him and son Marquise and compared it to P and his son Romeo Miller. While 50 doesn’t have much hope when it comes to his relationship with his son, he believed that P and Romeo would reconcile. As it turns out, they did. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest insights, stories, and revelations in the wide world of hip-hop.
[WATCH] 50 Cent Talks About Master P’s ‘Slick’ Business Savvy Early In His Career
In an interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood earlier this year, Fif gave his insight on the rift between Master P and his son Romeo, detailing how the issues between the Millers are totally different than the problems between him and his oldest son, Marquise.
50 then delved into Master P’s business savvy, which led to him explaining how P out-negotiated him on his first tour, which was orchestrated by the No Limit CEO.
“What I’ll say about P is he was slick,” 50 Cent detailed. “He came, he gave me the money for the eight shows, right? We did four of them. He said, ‘Aw man, something happened we gonna have to take a break. We’ll just come back and do the other four later.’ When I came back to do the other four, I had already sold two million records. He had already paid me so I had to do the shows. He knew! He was like, ‘This muthaf****’s on fire! This is gonna go off.’”
