Romeo Miller posted an Instagram message on Wednesday, Feb. 26 and said there’s been people who’ve told him that his family hurt his career. But Romeo blasted that notion, adding that he refuses to turn his back on them.

Romeo’s father, of course, is Master P and his mother is Sonya Miller.

“You’ll be surprised how many companies, business partners, and even people in the industry tried to tell me my togetherness and bond with my father and (family) is a weakness to my own greatness 😂🤥👿,” stated Romeo. “Boy the devil is a liar hahaha. Better wake up!”

“They know what we are capable of if we stick together. Do you?” he added. “Through thick or thin, ain’t nobody turning me on my parents (some s–t u gotta just take to the grave). No family is perfect, but we must stay united through the ways of this wicked world. God Got Me! Exodus 20:12 #BlackExcellence #NoFamilyIsPerfect #ProsAndCons.” 

One could say that Romeo’s message is a sign that things have improved between him and his mother.

In 2015, when Sonya and Master P were going through a bitter divorce, Sonya sued Romeo. She accused her ex-husband of using Romeo to hide his assets by putting him on company payrolls.

Romeo sent a tweet on the day that he learned he was being sued.

“Today I was SERVED by my own mother and although it hurts, I know that she can’t be 100% behind all of these ridiculous moves but instead is being guided by another’s greed,” he wrote then. “I haven’t spoken to my mother in months due to advice she’s taking from her lawyers. It sucks because the only reason I’ve worked so hard was to make my mother proud.” 

Underneath Romeo’s new message about his parents, a lot of people told him that he’s right to stick with his family and he should continue to ignore those who’ve said they’ve hurt his career.

“Family over everything,” someone wrote.

“So true,” another person commented. “People will try to discourage what they don’t have. And having a united family is rare these days💎.” 

“No one wins when the family feuds,” wrote a third person, who quoted a line from Jay-Z‘s song “Family Feud.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
