‘This is For Publicity’: Romeo Miller Shuts Down Rumor That His Feud with Father Master P Was for TV

Romeo Miller denied claims made by individuals who believe his previous feud with father Master P was a publicity stunt created to intensify interest in his return to “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” season 7. 

The rapper stopped by Baller Alert for an exclusive interview after his “Rap Snacks: Disrupt 2023 Summit Panel” conference was finished. During his interview, Miller discussed his and his father’s path to reconciliation following their explosive back-and-forth drama.

When asked if viewers will be able to see Miller and Master P’s story unfold, the 33-year-old revealed the situation happened after “GUHH” was finished filming. 

“I shot that before all of that, so people were saying this is for publicity and this and that, but umm my thing is this is just about life,” Romeo said. 

Understanding his role as a celebrity, Miller noted that having people’s eyes on him is a guarantee, however, that’s not going to stop him from living in his truth. 

“If you’re going to be a celebrity, if you’re going to be a public figure, you know … you’re going to have to have some things bleed out and deal with it.”

Through all of his and his father’s Instagram shade, Miller recognized communication as a key tool that can transform an issue into a simple solution. 

“It’s all about communication, no family is perfect.” 

Miller and his rapping mogul father were the faces of several headlines back in December after Miller called out Master P for recognizing the tragic death by suicide of dancer and DJ, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who is someone Master P does not know. 

In a now-expired Insta Story post, Miller inquired about how his father honored tWitch’s heartbreaking story but continued to avoid his own children who may suffer from depression or suicide. 

Fans inferred that Miller was referring to the death of his younger sister Tatyana Miller, who struggled with substance abuse and eventually died from a fentanyl overdose.

After Miller’s call-out, Master P responded by stating that his son was only trying to get sympathy from fans, writing that he “wont tolerate disrespect.” 

That is why it came as a surprise to fans when Miller revealed through Instagram that he and his father reconciled just as 2022 was ending.

“In order to be used you have to be willing to be misunderstood and humiliated sometimes,” Miller started his lengthy post writing. 

“Today, December 31, me and my father @masterp had very hard conversations; ironically outside in the rain, but in order for any generation to grow, that communication has to be had and reciprocated on both sides.” 

Miller ended her caption by dedicating this whole process to his sister, “#ForTyTy,” he wrote.

Still independent.

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.
