Master P is expanding his portfolio to become the Black Henry Ford.
The New Orleans mogul announced he was partnering with Richard Patterson, a former engineer at Tesla who designed the company’s popular Model S vehicle, to form a new supercars line under the brand name Trion SuperCars. The company would be the first Black-owned company of its kind and become the first Black-owned supercar manufacturer in the United States.
“Richard Patterson is a genius,” P said in a statement to Rolling Out. “He has created the blueprint for the next era of supercars. It’s time for us to change the narrative for our culture by offering economic empowerment with this partnership…The Nemesis RR is about the superb performance, head-turning appearance, and technical innovation that creates the blueprint for the next era of supercars.”
He took to Instagram on Monday (January 18) to tout Patterson as well as Trion’s process of wanting to create affordable “luxury SUVs and cars for the masses.”
“HAPPY MLK DAY to all the BIG DREAMERS!” P wrote. “#RichardPatterson CEO of Trion, the first black-owned supercar manufacturer in America. He is a former engineer at Tesla, designing the Model S from scratch. He also designed the landing gear on the Boeing 777 and the folding seats system in the Dodge Minivan. Mr. Patterson has went on to create his own supercar the Nemesis RR, adding diversity in the automotive industry and empowering a culture of dreamers. This is history, we have come a long way to witness and be a part of innovative technology, manufacturing and producing vehicles owned and made by us. In addition to the Nemesis RR models, Trion Supercars is currently in the process of creating affordable luxury suvs and cars for the masses. www.TrionSuperCars.com @romeomiller @askfly1 #Godisgood”
The latest venture from P comes after a 2020 where he firmly established his Uncle P food brand, including Rap Snacks, cereal and more. In an interview with HipHopDX, he explained why generational wealth needed to be sought outside of rapping.
“So if we bought those products, how come we can’t buy it from us?” he questioned. “We bought it from them not knowing who owned it, where it came from, and we turned those companies into multi-billion dollar businesses. So I think it’s time that we educate ourselves. We could do the same thing. We could make a lot more African American billionaires. It don’t have to be when you can just count on your hand to Bob Johnson, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey. That list could get way bigger than that if we realize that product outweighs talent.”
Master P & Former NBA All-Star Baron Davis In Process Of Purchasing Reebok
Earlier this month the No Limit Soldier made headlines when he and former NBA All-Star Baron Davis were in talks to purchase revered sneaker brand Reebok for close to $2.4 billion.
“These companies have been benefiting off us, this could be history for this company going Black-owned,” P told ESPN. “Imagine if Michael Jordan owned Reebok? That’s what I’m talking about making history.”
P a business genius but his products be ugly as hell
I’m a Latino. If I say my next business is building a Latino on supercars, that doesn’t sound very racist, right? Now if I was a white guy and said that? The hypocrisy in all of this is ridiculous. Are we trying to be equal and inclusive or not?
It’s not rascist it would be the first of its kind like a black owned super car company and the only reason we put the black owned label is because no other race has faced as much rascism,adversity, slavery and had to overcome all that still is going on today as you know so it’s not rascist amerikkka was literally built off the hands of black ppl think about that before u make stupid comments
as opposed to a white owned company? master p thinks black people are getting a raw deal when it comes to buying a supercar? come off it. he is making a division between black people and white, asian and latino. maybe he should be looking elsewhere to help his fellow black man supercars ain’t one of them.
The cars are going to look like Master P sneakers with wheels
Only racist people think it’s WRONG or racist for black people to do things for their selves. Especially after how long we’ve been denied the most basic things in this stolen nation. At this point,people know WHY we have to put “black” or “1st black” prefixes on products,positions or current positions. But since it makes the dominant society feel insecure or guilty, they play dumb like it’s about US,being racist or wanting segregation. Imagine being mad at lions for taking care of LIONS lmao. They hate to see us take accountability and spend our money with us! They FEAR karma or us doing to them,what they did to us for CENTURIES. Don’t worry neanderthals,we’re not built like y’all,HUMAN HISTORY proves that.
