Master P is trying to keep it in the family when it comes to who will play him in Snoop Dogg’s upcoming biopic.
“My son’s going out for the role to play me in the Snoop movie,” Master P, 56, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the 2026 BET Awards on Sunday, June 28, referring to the 2027 movie about Snoop Dogg’s career.
The music mogul (real name Percy Robert Miller Sr.) noted that when his son started to prepare for the audition, the producers told him about trying to channel his “quiet power.”
“I don’t do a lot of screaming and all that, but I do make my presence felt,” Master P teased.

When asked how someone can “tap into that level of confidence,” Master P advised his son — and fans — to “just believe in yourself.”
“Do the right thing and put your trust and faith in God,” he continued. “So you don’t have to do all that screaming when you know God got you.”
Master P didn’t reveal which of his sons is attempting to play him on the big screen, but there are many to choose from.
The “Mr. Ice Cream Man” rapper is the father of nine children, including seven he shares with ex-wife Sonya C. Master P and Sonya C, 58, were married from 1989 to 2014.
Master P’s eldest child, son Romeo, is probably his best known offspring. Born in 1989, Romeo has followed in his father’s footsteps, releasing five albums of his own.

Master P is also the father of Veno, born in 1991, and Cymphonique, born in 1996, from other relationships.
Outside of Romeo, who has acted in films like Honey and had his own Nickelodeon series, Romeo!, Master P’s son Hercy, 24, has recently been thrust into the spotlight.

After getting hurt amid his college basketball career, Hercy filmed season 1 of Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential, which premiered in May. Hercy is also an influencer and the founder of Fearless Dreamer clothing.

While it’s unknown whether any of Master P’s kids will land the role in the upcoming biopic, the rapper is just happy to have his children in his world.
Master P told Us on Sunday that his children have helped teach him “how to be a good father” and “how to communicate.”
“As [I’m] getting older, we have to communicate love and just all the godly values and having integrity, I mean, we’re constantly teaching each other,” he added.
