Master P’s Son Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Refrigerators From University

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Master P’s son Hercy Miller was reportedly arrested by authorities for allegedly stealing refrigerators from the Southern Utah University (SUU) campus, according to PEOPLE. Moreover, police also reportedly arrested two other students for the alleged crime, which they claim consisted of stealing two refrigerators worth $1,500 each from the loading dock of the campus bookstore. The arrest – which took place on November 27 – stemmed from one count of theft, and all students play on the SUU Thunderbirds basketball team. The rapper and hopeful NBA coach is probably not very happy about all this, but he hasn’t said anything about it as of writing this article.

Back to the alleged crime at hand, security footage reportedly shows Master P’s son and his colleagues putting the refrigerators into their vehicles on November 11. In addition, police reportedly spotted the appliances in two men’s apartments and in the third’s garage, but Miller and his friend said that they thought staff was throwing the refrigerators out because they were on the loading dock for “almost a month.” One of the alleged perpetrators claimed that he thought that the refrigerators were good to take because staff was allegedly throwing them away. This is slightly ironic given the completely unrelated legal advice that the New Orleans rapper recently gave.

However, one of the alleged perpetrators admitted that he helped put the refrigerators in the vehicles, but placed the blame of the whole operation on another perpetrator. We’ll see if Master P himself says anything about his son’s alleged crimes. Elsewhere, he’s dealing with some legal issues of his own, such as his lawsuit alongside Snoop Dogg against Walmart for allegedly sabotaging their cereal brand.

Also, Master P loves to chime into hip-hop occasionally, especially the Super Bowl halftime show controversy in his hometown of New Orleans. “Salute to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.. well deserved,” he shared on Instagram. “He’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now. As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.”

Dave Chappelle Course To Be Offered At Concordia University

May 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Concordia University will be offering a course on Dave Chappelle next semester. Professor Yassin “Narcy” Alsalman appeared on the Jibber With Jaber podcast, earlier this week, to discuss what students can expect from the course. In previous years, Narcy has taught classes on Kanye West and other hip-hop artists.

“I’m writing my syllabus right now and from what Dave and the community around him gave me I’m gonna kind of celebrate that at the 50th anniversary of hip-hop as a community,” Narcy told Ahman Jaber, host of the podcast.

Narcy continued: “So we’re gonna go through The Chappelle Show, we’re gonna watch some of his specials […], I’m gonna do a Black Star class, I’m gonna do a The Roots class, I’m gonna do an Erykah Badu class, a Soulquarians class, and talk about just the juxtaposition of the responsibility of comedy in music, and then the consumption of Black performance and what does that mean in North America […]”

He added that he plans to invite various friends from the industry and possibly even Chappelle himself. “I’m gonna ask people from the community, the friends of mine that I made in that community, to possibly come and maybe we’ll get Dave. Maybe Dave will come maybe he won’t but that’s not really why I’m doing it,” Narcy added.

Narcy Discusses The Dave Chappelle Course

During past courses, Narcy has brought in Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, and Kaytranada as guests during his lectures. His course on Dave Chappelle will begin in the upcoming fall semester at Concordia University. He began teaching at the school back in 2011, after focusing on a rap career of his own. Darcy also released a multi-genre collection titled Text Messages or How I Found Myself Time Traveling in 2020.
