Hercy Miller To Play His Dad Play Master P In

Hercy Miller opens up about surviving a two-pound birth, his sister’s fentanyl death, and preparing to play his father Master P in an upcoming biopic.

Hercy Miller survived a fight for his life before he could even walk.

Born weighing just two pounds, the son of hip-hop legend Master P spent over two months in the NICU hooked to machines, fighting to breathe and grow.

His father didn’t hesitate to spend roughly a quarter million dollars in hospital bills to keep his son alive, a decision that shaped everything Hercy would become.

“If my dad wasn’t who he was, I wouldn’t be here,” Hercy reflected in an interview with the Allison Interviews podcast, crediting his survival to both his father’s resources and his faith in God.

That same faith became central to how Hercy processed one of the family’s darkest moments.

His sister Tytyana died from a fentanyl overdose, a loss that could have fractured the Miller household like it does so many families. Instead, it brought them closer together.

Master P channeled his grief into action, launching a 2026 tour focused entirely on mental health awareness and substance abuse prevention.

Hercy’s mother, Sonya Miller, founded TYTY’s Parachute Foundation to help other families facing similar tragedies.

“One decision can change your whole life,” Hercy said, speaking directly to young people about the dangers of drugs when you don’t know what’s inside them.

Now Hercy is stepping into the entertainment world himself.

He’s training with acting coaches to potentially play his father as a young man in the biopic “Only God Can Judge Me: Master P.”

He jokes that he’s “2026 Master P” to his dad’s “1996 Master P,” and he’s eyeing the scenes right after his father made “Make ‘Em Say Uhh,” when Master P was at the absolute peak of his power.

The hardest part to film, Hercy believes, will be recreating the moment his father tore his ACL playing basketball. Hercy experienced a similar injury that ended his own season, so that scene will hit different.

Growing up in Calabasas, Hercy had access to mentors most kids only dream about.

He attended Kobe Bryant’s basketball camps and watched the late legend work with young players with meticulous attention to detail.

Two weeks before Kobe and his daughter Gigi died in the helicopter crash near Hercy’s home, the two had crossed paths. Hercy regrets not taking a photo that day.

“I loved him that much,” he said, his voice heavy with the weight of that missed moment.

According to the Allison Interviews podcast, Hercy also credits his friendship with Preston Pippen, Scottie Pippen’s son, as a major part of his journey, with the two bonding over basketball and comedy since kindergarten.
