Romeo Big Enough for College Ball
Like father, like son. Not to disparage Romeo's dancing skills or anything.
The actor-rapper and son of hip-hop mogul Master P said that's headed to the University of Southern California this fall to play basketball for the Trojans, according to a rep for Romeo's online label, UrbanDigital Records.
Romeo, whose real name is Percy Romeo Miller and who used to go by the moniker Lil' Romeo, was an All-American point guard for Beverly Hills High School and, at 6-foot-1, has designs on playing in the NBA.
"I love basketball, I've been doing that since I was two years-old," the former star of Romeo! on Nickelodeon tells MTV Radio.
"Basketball has run in the family," UrbanDigital spokesman Dave Lindsay says, referring to Master P who, despite his sorry turn on Dancing with the Stars last year, scored tryouts with two NBA teams back in the 1990s.
USC refused to comment on Romeo's status because the school has not yet received a signed letter of intent from the prospective Trojan, who reportedly is planning to major in business administration.
Romeo's sophomore album Game Time hit number one on the U.S. R&B charts in 2002, when the aspiring baller was 12 and barely measured 5-foot-6.
"I've been [playing basketball] since before the music and acting…I try to make it so I am able to do all of them," the performer says. "If it gets to that point, I won't give up acting or rapping at all. I love it, my fans love it. I'm gonna be dedicated to them."
Romeo is also teaming with his dad on a new label, Take A Stand Records, which aims to release music with "100 percent clean lyrics and positive moral values."
"I have profited millions of dollars through explicit rap lyrics," says Master P. "I can honestly say that I was once part of the problem and now it's time to be part of the solution. I am ready to take a stand by cleaning up my music and follow my son's footsteps and make a clean rap album."
Father and son are working on a joint album, Hip Hop History, this fall.
Meanwhile, Romeo says that he's also hoping to release his latest solo effort, Gumbo Station, later this year.
