Master P has announced that he is retiring from music and that last week’s ESSENCE festival would be the last time his fans would see him rap on stage.
“My last show has to be with Essence. It has to be big. A celebration,” he told PEOPLE.
Master P, whose real name is Percy Miller, will focus on his new position as head coach and president of basketball operations at the University of New Orleans.
“It’s a blessing now to be able to transition into doing something that’s bigger than me. Being a servant is my most important job,” he told the outlet. “I feel like hard work got me here, even though I didn’t know I was going to get this far in life. God spared my life and put me on this journey. That chapter closed itself with maturing and growing up and not being afraid to grow.”
Master P is reportedly currently worth $198 million, although some platforms estimate his net worth could be as high as $390 million. He is not only a recording artist and producer, but also an actor, a former basketball player, an investor, author, filmmaker, and company CEO.
