Master P will be releasing his own biopic!
Earlier this week (Jan. 13), the rapper revealed that he signed a new deal with Lionsgate to drop his new biopic King of the South.

He made the announcement in a video on Instagram, where he also says he will produce the film as well. He’s even teamed up with Menace II Society writer Tyger Williams to pen the script.

“Today we made history!” Master P said in the caption of his video. “Signed one of the biggest deals with LionsGate for the Master P biopic “King of the South IceCream Man.” Salute to the kings that came before me Lil J, Uncle Luke, and Tony Draper. God is good to be able to be alive and tell your story, and have it written by Tyger Williams who did Menace to society. Movies..Movies…Movies. Go to Moneyatti.com to get that new drip #WeAllWeGot.”

The Master P biopic will highlight the rappers early childhood and adult years, as he built his music empire, No Limit Records, and took over the music industry in the 1990s. The movie will also include how he earned a spot as one of the first southern artists to get his music played in New York.

“To still be able to be alive and partner with a major film company [Lionsgate] is definitely history,” Master P tells XXL. “To be the first time to have a story come from the South and to have an effect on hip-hop, we changed the game and showed you how to make money from the product.”

There’s no confirmed release date just yet, but Master P did follow up his announcement with a brief video that compiles an array of highlights from the beginning of his career in New Orleans to his current hustle. Check it out below.
