I believe P isn't as wealthy as he once was because back in 99 he did a new deal with Universal for New Nolimit and before the ink dried he shut the lable down,paid the new artist and pocketed the rest.
I believe he has had tax problems cause P was taking his money and investing into himself,like most should while you're hot but keeping up with all of that I'm sure wasn't easy and some of that shit he should of let pass on.
-Motor oil....fuck that
-Rap foods.....I don't know
-Clothing.....no,hell no
-Movie....great investment,I got the hookup,Foolish was decent movies
-I believe he owned a gas station and a clothing store.....
He was also the McHammer in rap cause he had a lot of people he looked out for in California and New Orleans which were battles cause of competition from you know who and he had his brother C murda to handle N.O and he had goons in the Bay area for any drama in California,he was giving dudes deals that didn't even rap but it was a legal check.
Also look at the music business how it has changed and many weren't ready for that change so they took what was left and folded cause things aren't the same,it's not what it once was.He's lost some in that journey,including his brother but what would they be doing if there was no Master P,No Limit,No deals,No records?
No excuses but niggas should of learned something,enough to maintain or hustle their way into a decent job somewhere....silk da Shocker could sell a buncha cars and be manager over a chain of Mcdonalds.
