Romeo: Heir to the Hip Hop Throne & Role Model




On one of Mo'Nique's late night shows, Percy Miller aka Master P handed his son Romeo his platinum No Limit Records chain as a symbol of his takeover from his dad as CEO of the multi-million dollar company. Romeo now has control of pretty much every aspect of the company including music, the clothing line, and a multitude of other incredible ventures. However, at this present time, you can find Romeo hitting the books at the University of Southern California while he is on a full athletic scholarship to play basketball. He's athletic, handsome and smart! What a great combo for all these young women in their early 20s and an example to all the brothers out there striving for success. On the show, Romeo encouraged young people to pursue their education because they will always need something to fall back on if everything else fails. No one should go into the music industry with the misconception that everything will be handed to them. You must be aware of what it takes to be successful as well as knowing basic essentials such as counting money, reading, etc. because the industry can be tricky so knowledge is power.
I believe that Romeo should be a role model to anyone in pursuit of success. He's grown from a young rapper and heir to the No Limit throne into a role model and CEO. He has given most of the credit to his father who stated that he would like to be remembered as a businessman and not a rapper. After a while, you must grow from what you knew in the hood into an adult who prioritizes in order to obtain the finer things in life. Not necessarily anything tangible, but respect, integrity, and dignity. Therefore, let Romeo be an example to this generation of youth spreading the message that it is okay to work hard for what you want because hard work will take you where you need to be!
