It’s a family feud! Romeo Miller and his father, Master P, are airing out dirty family laundry on social media, and we hate to see it. Romeo accuses his father of using his “Rap Snacks” earnings to pay off his tax debts and that they’ve been living “month-to-month.” Yikes. See his accusations, plus P’s response, inside…
Nobody wins when the family feuds!
Rapper-turned-actor Romeo Miller and his father, Master P, have always put on a strong family front over the years as they solidified their spots in pop culture. However, things aren’t peaches and cream behind-the-scenes these days, and dirty laundry got aired out.
Things came to a boiling point over the weekend, causing Romeo, who is a new dad himself, to put his father on full blast about his questionable actions. And sadly, it comes down to finances.
The feud began when the No Limit founder mentioned Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ recent reported suicide, prompting Romeo to make claims that his father ignores his own child’s mental health struggles, alluding to P’s alleged lack of concern for his daughter Tytyana Miller, who died of a drug overdose earlier this year.
“Today was a boiling point,” the former hitmaker wrote in a Instagram Story post. “I seen a man avoid his own children struggle with suicide and depression but post another man whom passed today that he doesn’t even know. Yall idols be lost. Better stop following the blind. Watch when it’s revealed.”
Following Master P’s post about tWitch’s tragic death, Romeo shared a poem titled “The Tree of Trauma” on Instagram, expressing his long history of frustrations with his father, which he shared with his 2.1 Instagram followers:
“A poem, because poetry is one of the most powerful forms of therapy. Let’s educate and break these cycles together!” he captioned the poem on Instagram. “You mental health is just like a muscle that needs to be built and treated. The next generation will grow stronger because of our truths and as a man of God, I know mines will one day too. The Tree of Trauma.”
In the poem, Romeo asks a series of questions that are seemingly aimed at his dad.
“Why is is that you can’t take the same heat as our mother can?” “Why do you feel the need to promote and hold a product on every interview just to validate your worth, don’t the people see that?” and “How come it took my daughter being born, to finally realize that we have blindly been feeding the enemy?”
Read his full poem above.
Master P took to social media to respond to his son, whom he claims he hadn’t spoken to in months.
“I thought this was about DJ Twitch and about my daughter’s death,” explained Master P. “This is heartbreaking. You just exposed that this is really about money … You started this social media rant … I get it, I’m just an ATM for this family. I don’t care about an image.”
P said his son’s criticism was actually motivated by finances and he seemingly offered an olive branch, but warned he would not “tolerate disrespect.”
“This new generation of kids need to stop blaming their parents for everything. How do they think they got to where they are without their parents making sacrifices for them?,” P wrote. “Mental illness is real and so many families are tragically affected by it especially when there is added trauma like death of a loved on.”
“How do they think they got to where they are without their parents making sacrifices for them?” Master P wrote. “Mental illness is real and so many families are tragically affected by it especially when there is added trauma like death of a loved on.”
“Son, I love you. Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you. And let’s come up with a solution,” he added. “You can come talk to your father and your family, like a man, you have kids too. No family is perfect but together with God, we can heal and get through this.”
Master P also posted a video in response to Romeo’s claims:

Romeo responded to his father, telling him to stop playing “victim” and that he’s not the man he portrays to be.
“I loved you so much that I followed you blindly for 30+yrs,” Romeo said. “You know we’ve talked behind closed doors. You aren’t the man who you paint to be and why is it war because I refuse to follow ur lead. You only want to protect your image, but the image isn’t even real.”
It turns out, animosity has been festering for years. Romeo accused the No Limit Records founder of withholding earnings from the potato chip brand “Rap Snacks,” in which he is a limited partner.
In a lengthy IG post, Romeo claims that he is only now receiving compensation for his work with “Rap Snacks” after being misled by Master P, whom he also accuses of “trying to gaslight and break” him. Romeo stated that he promoted the company for the past 15 years but never received payment.
“I would like to thank James and Taylor of Rap Snacks for seeking the truth and doing proper business,” Romeo wrote on social media. “This year I will get my first Rap Snacks check and finally start receiving my earnings from my bags,” he wrote. “I was told as a kid that we owned Rap Snacks, and that my payday would come after we put in work and sold the company, silly me!
“I promoted a company for free for 15+ years based on the word of my pops, without being allowed to see any contracts or even meet with the team, and I stayed loyal…but I’m entitled and ungrateful now?”
He added: “Only addressing this here because my father is trying to gaslight and break me instead of taking accountability of his mistakes/greed, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Romeo shared receipts to back his claims:
In response to a IG comment, Romeo explained in the comments section of Master P’s post that he and all of his “siblings are broke,” they’ve been “living month-to-month” and that the money made from Romeo’s music career was used to pay off his father’s tax debts. Check it:
“Man, we been living month-to-month since I was 18, shit’s a mirage,” Romeo told a IG user.
“I been taking care of my pops, bro,” Romeo explained to another commenter. “Never touched no Lil Romeo money. [It] all went to pay off his IRS taxes. I’ve been more than loyal. The truth will set us all free.”
Romeo also shared a throwback video of himself promoting “Rap Snacks” on BET’s “106 & Park”:
Looking over Romeo’s IG account, it appears he has been posting subliminals aimed at his father:
Hmph.
The people are seemingly siding with Romeo:

I knew Master P won’t shit when he used Romeo as a pawn in his divorce to help hide money from his mom. What parent puts their child in the middle of that
