Master P Praises Son Mercy Miller
Percy “Master P” Miller celebrated his son Mercy Miller’s dedication in a heartfelt Instagram post this week. Sharing a candid photo of Mercy, Master P wrote, “My son Mercy Miller hard work going to pay off! #25 #CantStopGodsPlan the future family over everything #millergang.” The message underscored both pride in his son’s journey and the family bond at the heart of their mission.
Son’s Path To Uno Privateers
Mercy Miller, who committed to the University of New Orleans Privateers last year, has swiftly become one of the program’s most watched recruits. In an Instagram announcement, Miller wrote, “After many conversations with Coach Master P and the Privateers staff I’m happy to announce my commitment to The University of New Orleans.” His college debut is now just weeks away, and he’ll don the No. 25 jersey he’s long admired.
Early reports from UNO’s media relations team confirm that Miller will suit up for the Privateers in their Southland Conference slate this season. Sources inside the program say his blend of perimeter shooting and defensive tenacity caught coaches’ eyes during summer workouts. Head coach Mark Slessinger labeled him “a competitor with a pro mindset,” while teammates praise his locker-room leadership.
Faith And Family At The Core
Master P’s hashtags—#CantStopGodsPlan and #familyovereverything—aren’t new to his feed. In a recent post he declared, “NOTHING ABOUT ME IS SELF MADE | OWE GOD EVERYTHING #Godisgood,” highlighting the role faith has played throughout his career. The theme extends to family celebrations too: just days before he’d wished his brother Christopher “Silkk the Shocker” Hampton a happy birthday, tagging it #FamilyOverEverything.
That blend of spiritual grounding and family unity has guided both father and son. Mercy credits his dad’s NBA tryout in 1998 with the Golden State Warriors and his own youth tournaments in New Orleans for shaping his work ethic. “I watched him grind from studio sessions to pickup games,” Mercy told local news. “He shows me that nothing comes easy—and that’s how I prepare.”
Building On A Legacy Of Hustle
Master P’s rise from New Orleans neighborhoods to rap mogul status remains one of hip-hop’s most compelling success stories. Founder of No Limit Records, he’s sold millions of albums and expanded into film, fashion and philanthropy. Now he’s channeling that same drive into his son’s athletic career.
According to industry trackers, Mercy Miller’s social media following has doubled since his commitment announcement, signaling growing fan interest. Local business owners near the UNO campus have already begun printing limited-edition shirts bearing “Miller 25” ahead of home openers. One retailer noted preorders outpacing last season’s top Privateers recruit by nearly 30%.
Looking Ahead To Game Day
With pre-season practices underway, Mercy has already logged double-digit scoring games in closed scrimmages. Assistant coach Brad Holland praised his “read-and-react IQ,” while analytics staff note his plus-minus differential leads all newcomers.
For Master P, the hard work is a family affair. He’ll be courtside at the Lakefront Arena on November 8 for Mercy’s official debut, reinforcing his mantra: “Family over everything.” In that first home game, cheers of “Miller 25” will surely mix with calls of “Miller gang,” a nod to the close-knit bonds that got them here.
Through every Instagram update, Master P reminds followers that success is a journey shared. As Mercy Miller takes to the hardwood this season, his father’s confidence—rooted in faith, family and decades of hustle—will remain just one post away.
