Master P came under fire last week after he criticized Kobe Bryant and Khloe Kardashian for rushing to Lamar Odom’s bedside after the former NBA player was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. In an exclusive conversation with HipHopDX, the No Limit Records founder explained why he called Bryant and Kardashian “phony.” He also says he has no plans to retract his comments.
“I ruffled a couple of feathers this week because I told my opinion about the Kardashians and [Kobe Bryant],” Percy Miller says to HipHopDX exclusively. “I ain’t gonna change it. The truth hurts. I feel like a lot of people wanted to say what I said. I feel I said what I could say because I know those people. I know Lamar. I knew everything that was going on with him. I tell people this all the time, ‘A house without foundation or support will collapse.’ Don’t give me that foundation and support at the end. You gotta give that to me all the way through. That ain’t me being hypocritical because, yeah my brother [C-Murder] is in prison. But he in prison because of his actions. I been supporting him all the way through. I’m not gonna run to somebody when they’re down or whatever they’re going through and I’m not gonna change what I say. Also, When you lose sight of what matters, you’re not alive. So some of those things matter to me. It can be a different opinion for somebody else. Y’all made up opinions about me all the time. Go look at your site. I ain’t trip. I just took my licks and it is what it is.
“For now, I ain’t gonna say people phony. I’ma say they doing the most. Everybody in every hood and in Corporate America, next time I’m gonna say ‘They doing the most.’ Harvey Levin say things about me, it can be true or false, I don’t get mad. But I guess sometimes if it’s your favorite player or your favorite entertainer, it’s reality.”
Despite the largely negative backlash to the comments, Master P says that a number of people thanked him for making a statement.
“Some people hit me up like, ‘P, I’m glad you said that because nobody was gonna think about it,’ he says. “It’s like, what is [Khloe] gonna do when Lamar get up? What’s gonna happen with James Harden? That was her boyfriend. But guess what? That ain’t my business. Y’all gonna see. Y’all see how many times Kobe call that man’s phone if he really got that type of love for him. Maybe he can change his mind. That’s his business. To me, the word ‘phony’ in New Orleans, that’s a New Orleans term, I might say that about my partner. But they ain’t gonna show everything on the TMZ. They not gonna show it. They gonna show whatever to make us all go against each other, but guess what? I’m still gonna go to a couple Lakers’ games. I can still tell anybody to they face how I feel. It’s just an opinion. It ain’t facts. People say what they want about me. It ain’t facts. It’s an opinion. I can go back to my nice car and to my nice mansion and chill.
“The man been in a coma. Somebody had to speak for him because nobody looked at what was happening last week with this brother. Even though he was doing some crazy things. Nobody didn’t do that to him. Kobe didn’t do that. She didn’t do that. He did it to himself. Only thing I say is a house without foundation or support is gonna collapse. I look at Lamar’s situation. He was traded to the [New Orleans Pelicans] for Chris Paul. Who did that? Then he went to the [Dallas Mavericks]. Then he came back to the Los Angeles Clippers. That’s what I mean by that foundation and support. If you gonna run out the gym for this man, you’ve gotta show that support.”
Master P’s new single “Freaky” is out now. His upcoming project, Empire Album will be available on November 28. Let us know if you agree with P’s perspective.
I agree with master p because a lot of us where thinking but wouldn’t say it however I don’t now was the time to be so opinionated. Not because ok koby nor the k’s because of his children.
masta P you so damn right men! people so fake these days man they show up when u sick or they show up when you dead and trow rose flowers on your casket…support people when they alive not when dey ain’t breathing no more that shit is phony for real. that dude lamar be doing that shit coz he is depressed and all his hommies be turning they back on him smh
As a writer and a human being, I am offended by this speech–mot because he’s wrong, but because I can’t figure out what the hell he’s saying. Everyone in America has the right to voice his/her opinion, although it would also mean a whole lot more to know what that opinion actually is…even if it’s “built on a house without foundation or support [that’s] gonna collapse.” Much like this confusing statement that made its way into the press. (Again, I may agree, with him, he may have the same mindset of many, but who can tell?) It’s the 8th wonder of the world.

Really? Conprehension is key…you make no sense to me, as to, whats so difficult about a man elaborating on an opinion stated about said persons. Who could be called suspect for seeming to care when hes in a coma ( possibly at his end) vs when he was spiralling out of control…but maybe, you should notice in the Headline its an exclusive continuation of a Previous statement…idk a few context clues give it away in my humble opinion.
Well put … poor grammar, cannot spell, using wrong words or phrases to describe a situation … pathetic. These people are going to support us in our old age, ie – have jobs, pay taxes
The fuck you talking about? And how do people working to support you in your old age have anything to do with the comment at Hand? You wanted to dickeat but don’t even know the flavor…

THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO WANT HELP OUT THERE AND CANT AFFORD THEMSELVES THE MEANS TO GET IT WHILE THE RICH CONTINUE TO GET PITY FROM PEOPLE WHO CANT TIE THEIR FUCKING SHOE LACES. DIE SLOW BITCH!
You act like somebody gave Lamar something. He came from shit and got all the way to the NBA for 14 years. That man been helping himself his whole life to the tune of $50 million dollars in spite of his addiction and personal losses. Yeah, he got a problem that he can’t control but who the hell are you to judge that man?
MASTER PeePee GO HELP your own brother – C-Murder! Who’s been talkin’ about YOUR Punk Azz NOT helping him, as he’s been STUCK IN PRISON for 10 years! Don’t worry about Kobe going out of his way, when he was in the middle of a NBA Game to go check on his friend! ALL you been doin’ is spoutin’ off, putting out INSTANTLY FORGETTABLE Garbage ‘music’ & trying to jump start that OLD DEAD TANK, more like a HOOPTIE at this point! Worry about that DIVORCE proceedings, your BROTHER in need, & a ROSTER of wanna bees & has been ‘artists’ that are depending on YOU to eat! GTFOH…………….
“trying to jump start that OLD DEAD TANK, more like a HOOPTIE at this point! “……………………..LMAO.
One thing about P,….time & experience has caused him to see the “phony” side of America. Just like all of us who grew up listening to him, his label posse & his brothers. We too, see what’s phony & what’s real. The trick is, what do you teach your kids! In’da south,..we “try” to teach the type of thing P is preaching! Whether white or black,…southerners dont play that phony sh!t.
One thing wrong with black people is that they hate to see other black people doing good. This is why the black community has let itself down. See how quick everyone hated on P. Just because he hasn’t produced any music lately. So what! Music doesn’t make a man. Life makes the man,…& a real man conquers this life. P done more than 99% of the rest of black America has ever done for itself. Instead of complaining about “why” he couldn’t make it outta the hood,..or blaming the white man,…he DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Nor did he try to be fake. I respect P for making me go uugh,..na, na, na nah! That was good music. Haters gone hate! So what,…Tell’em P.
Master P is off on this one, he said his brother did this to himself ???? I guess someone forced Lamar to spend 75 k, use Yayo and take sex pills. Grown people choose their own paths weather good or bad. Master P has always been corny with terrible music !
