Master P, Silkk Rung Up on Gun Rap
Master P may have had the hookup, but that didn't keep him from getting locked up last week.
The multiplatinum-selling rap legend and his brother, Silkk the Shocker, were arrested on felony gun charges in Los Angeles last Thursday.
Silkk (real name: Vyshonn Miller) was behind the wheel and P (aka Percy Miller) was in the passenger seat of a leased Chrysler 300M when UCLA campus police pulled over the vehicle shortly before midnight for failing to have a license plate, according to University of California Police Department spokeswoman Nancy Greenstein.
Once stopped, the cops allegedly spotted a gun near the driver's seat. Officers ordered the two rappers and two other passengers out of their ride. A search turned up a second loaded gun hidden underneath the passenger seat, the UCPD said.
P, 37, and Silkk, 29, were arrested for investigation of unlawfully carrying firearms and transferred to the West Hollywood Sheriff's station, where they were booked on the felony charges and spent three hours in custody before being released in lieu of $35,000 bail. (The arrest report is available online at The Smoking Gun.)
No word on when they are due back for a court date.
The two other men who were in the backseat of the car escaped arrest after a brief investigation by the campus cops.
Master P, who copped to a tax-evasion charge in February 2004, has dropped from the upper echelons of the charts of late (his last release, 2004's Good Side: Bad Side, peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200). But that doesn't mean the entrepreneurial multimedia mogul has been slacking.
The New Orleans native remains a visible presence on television. He recently appeared on the Nickelodeon show Romeo! with his son, Lil' Romeo, in addition to a 2004 appearance on CSI: NY.
The actor-producer-rapper, whose film credits include I Got the Hookup, has also sold his latest film starring Lil' Romeo, the Dallas Jackson-penned Uncle P, to New Line Cinema for release this spring.
Silkk, meanwhile, has struggled to match the success of his breakthrough disc, 1998's Charge It 2 da Game. His most recent album, last year's Based on a True Story, barely registered, debuting at 88 on the Billboard 200 and quickly dropping off.
Yet another member of the No Limit family, P and Silkk's brother C-Murder, will drop his 15-track disc, The Truest S--- I Ever Said March 22, Billboard reports. The currently incarcerated rapper was convicted of second-degree murder in 2003.
