Rapper and businessman Master P has announced that he will henceforth be known has P Miller (his real name is Percy Miller). The move follows his brother's decision to change his name from C-Murder to C Miller in 2005.
As a rapper, Miller has released numerous albums and won five Grammys. However, as CEO of entertainment and financial company P Miller Enterprises he has also been hugely successful and is thought to be worth in excess of $500 million.
Miller told AllHipHop.com: "I'm changing my name because Master P is who I used to be. I call it my childhood, and P Miller marks my manhood. There's a lot of people out there who are afraid to grow up and change, but I'm not and P Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller, the entrepreneur, the businessman. I've branched out into so many different arenas, but all that gets overshadowed because I come from the hip hop industry. People grow mentally and spiritually through life experiences, but when you come from hip hop, it's almost impossible to get past the stereotypes associated with it".
