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.

Bianca Censori Defies Hotel Dress Code in Scandalous Style with Kanye West

Bianca Censori

Earlier this week, Bianca Censori and her husband Kanye West were spotted at the iconic Chateau Marmont for lunch. The Australian model, known for her daring fashion choices, turned heads yet again with her provocative outfit. Censori sported a tiny pair of shorts, black heels, and a revealing white bikini top, which undoubtedly caught the attention of both onlookers and the hotel staff.

Despite Chateau Marmont’s strict business casual dress code, Censori’s nearly nude appearance did not elicit any complaints from the staff. This is not the first time Censori has pushed fashion boundaries at the luxury hotel. Earlier this month, she made headlines by arriving in a thong and later in a sheer nude mini dress paired with long stockings, heels, and a tan hat, while Kanye shielded her from photographers.

Keke Palmer Defends Tyler Perry Amid Misogyny Backlash, “The Real Enemy is the System!”

Keke Palmer

In a recent episode of her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer, Keke Palmer hosted Tyler Perry, sparking intense discussions online. Perry’s comments, addressing long-standing criticisms that his films often depict Black women in distress, went viral. Defending his creative choices, Perry stated, “A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised. Who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend. You’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything… Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”

Perry’s remarks led to significant backlash, including accusations of misogyny. In response, Keke Palmer took to social media platform X to defend Perry. She argued that critics are misdirecting their anger. “The enemy isn’t Tyler, it’s the system that makes it hard for multiple black artists to shine at one time,” Palmer asserted. “Oppression turns you against the person that gets the shine opposed to questioning why there can only be so few at a time. Tyler is not the gatekeeper of all black stories; he’s just one creative who broke through the system. Advocating for others to do the same is the fight, not hating Tyler for his work that many do love.”

Palmer also highlighted Perry’s significant contributions to the Black community in a follow-up tweet, noting his employment of numerous Black individuals and urging followers not to “blame his movies for oppression.”
