Master P is one of music’s most successful Black executives. The No Limit CEO set the blueprint for independent success in the music industry. Percy Miller is a New Orleans, LA native from the Calliope Projects and went on to become one of our cultures’ biggest entrepreneurs. In a recent interview, P spoke on how gratifying it is to see woman currently dominating Hip-Hop and regrets not signing an unlikely artist.
“The upcoming artists that I see right now and these women are huge–Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, said Master P. I still like Dej Loaf, her sound just doesn’t go away for me. He even flirted with the idea of a No Limit label relaunch for all woman emcees.
“It’s a lot of underground women too that I like that I think will be big,” he added. “I think women are definitely taking over and I respect them. I want to see more women win because women aren’t a problem. We don’t have to worry about none of the violence that’s going on. The women are just easy.”
Throughout history in the music industry, there are a number of stories of great artist who were passed on by executives. Master P has his experience doing so as well with Neo-soul artist India Arie.
“I just didn’t get it,” said Miller. “She would come to my house and she’d be singing with no shoes on. I’m like how can I help this woman? I just didn’t know how because my music was so hard. She’d be like, ‘P I’m gonna be a star.’
India Aire went on to win four Grammy Awards and sell over 10 millions record worldwide with notable songs such as, “Video,” “Brown Skin,” “Little Things” and more.
“That was the one that got away, said Master P. “We could’ve done something incredible.

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?
Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.
The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.
In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.
This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.
In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.
