Benzino Expresses Empathy For Master P Amidst Romeo Rift: ‘Keep It Private’
December 03, 2000
Benzino knows a thing or two about family issues, and he has some words of advice for Master P and his son Romeo Miller who aren’t on the same page at the moment.
On Sunday (December 18), Benzino hopped on Twitter to give a message to Master P and Romeo about being celebrities and arguing in public. According to the former rapper, family issues should be kept private because no one wins otherwise.
“I need to talk to Master P,” Benzino opened his tweet. “He needs to know he got my support as well as Romeo but I think P needs someone who’s going through the same thing in the public and the the best thing is to keep it private.”
Someone asked Benzino if he really reached out or just posted the tweet for looks, but the 57-year-old confirmed he actually contacted the two parties without revealing if a conversation was had between them.

December 19, 2022 Benzino had his fair share of family drama arise over the last couple of years. The issues stem from his
contentious relationship with his daughter
Coi Leray and her rise to fame.
Most recently, Benzino
publicly shamed his daughter after she
congratulated Eminem’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Once word got out she praised Em, Leray explained she was all about love and spreading positivity, not holding on to old grudges.
“I’m about love, equality, respect and forgiveness. I have nothing against Eminem, 25 years of my life all I know is he a very talented artist and actor! (8 Mile was great) Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it.”
Her father replied, “As far as the lil [parrot emoji] who keeps talking about love and forgiveness. Well there’s this word called ‘loyalty’ and a commandment that says ‘Honor thy Mother and Father’ As far as burning bridges, there no bridge bigger than the one you burnt with your own blood.”
Benzino then claimed no one loved his daughter more than he did and explained he’ll be taking a backseat in her life and love her as a father from a distance.
The situation between Master P and Romeo was a result of the No Limit Records founder addressing the recent suicide of DJ/dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss. Romeo had a problem with Master P showing love to tWitch and allegedly
neglecting his own child’s mental health struggles. The two went on a bitter back-and-forth on social media before Master P
extended somewhat of an olive branch. In his final statement on the whole matter, Master P called for love.
“I love my family, my door is always open for my son,” he said in a video posted to Instagram on Sunday (December 18). “And if I’m wrong, forgive me. I’m apologizing to you if I’m wrong. I’m still a work-in-progress, I come from nothing. Everybody go through trauma; I’m dealing with this right now.”
P continued: “So let’s do this in love, let’s do this in peace. Think about it, we stronger together. But you older now, so you got to lead by example for the rest of the kids. And we’ll get through this. I’m just telling y’all keep y’all prayers, we need it, and God gonna do what He gotta do.
“I’m not gonna come on here no more, so bloggers and everything else is cool. Whatever you wanna deal with, deal with Romeo. Whatever y’all think he saying is true or whatever, that’s cool too. I can live with it. I’m at peace now, I had to speak my piece.”
However, Master P did take a few swipes at his son when he said: “So my question to Romeo is: If you’ve been in the business for as long as you’ve been in, and you a thirty-something-year-old man and if you’ve been around me, watching me hustle and do my thing, why you not where you want to be at?”
He added: “Because that means you not listening. That means you want to do your own thing. You done brought your own circle of people. But you can’t get mad at me.”
