Former Gangsta Rapper Master P. Aims To Feed and Cloth 1 Million People


Reformed Gangsta rapper Master P. will give back to those less fortunate this holiday season by launching a new partnership with OneMillionGifts.org.


Master P. will donate money and time to help feed and cloth at least 1 million people throughout the world.


OneMillionGifts.org helps children and parents who lack education or shelter and those children that have addicted parents or come from broken homes.


"Growing up in poverty made me realize that most crimes are committed during Thanksgiving and Christmas,” Master P. told AllHipHop.com. “Not only will we feed and clothe one million but also we can help prevent a lot of those in need from committing crimes like robbing and stealing the food or gifts they can't afford during the holidays. Our mission is to bring hope to families by offering programs that help educate and rehabilitate families back into society.”


In addition to donating his time and money, Master P. is also attempting to get his celebrity friends involved in the cause for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.


“Even with the current downfall of the economy, each one of us can help make a difference by volunteering or donating,” Master P. reasoned. “I'm also reaching out personally to corporations, entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, entertainers, churches, foundations, radio stations, online media, TV stations, Oprah, Dr.Phil, and others that can help bring awareness to this great cause.”


Master P. a/k/a P. Miller, who has sold over 75 million records worldwide. In late 2006, the No Limit Records mogul has renounced the gangster lifestyle that earned him hundreds of million dollars.


In addition to running a profanity-free record label, Master P. has experienced success in movie and television, most notably through Romeo!, the hit show on Nickelodeon that starred his son, Romeo Miller.


“Eight years ago, I realized that education saves lives and being charitable and helping those in need has given me a profound happiness in my life, as there is nothing more rewarding than bringing smiles to children who are less fortunate,” Master P. stated. “OneMillionGifts.org specializes in these areas. Therefore, I'm honored to be a part of this team."
