What if he actually makes it in the NBA? LOL.

I am sure Mr. Miller had something to do with that, you know it has always been master P’s dream to become a NBA star.. any whooo I am so proud of little romeo.. he is a true example of not putting all your eggs in one hip hop basket.. what you doin bow wow? bow wow momma is livin too good off her son to put him away in school somewhere she aint sending her Goldin Egg away…

He must have just COMMITTED to USC, because it is against NCAA rules to sign before your senior year. He will probably sign in the fall.

That is good for him, Hopefully, OJ Mayo wont still be there, cuz he will be right on that bench.

im glad to see lil homeo is going to school. i hope he stays there and not git the big head cause them college kids will whoop his ass lolololol

Well You can tell who did or didn’t go to college…
haha
gosh..damn grow up
Congrats to lil romeo
he’s nothing like bow wow
what does music have to do with this?
record sells aren’t everything
bow wow’s cds don’t do all that great either
especially that last one he put out
he doesn’t even write his own material. JD and TI do.
True…
you dont have to go to college to be a success but it really helps.
You’re more likely to do something with your life with a degree.
I’ll rather have a degree any day than just sitting and wishing i could be an “actress”
why can’t black ppl keep the negative comments to themselves?
shouldn’t this have been a positive post?
nope…
someone always has to be negative
because their life is full of negativity….
Master P and Romeo are worth 300 million dollars
how much are you worth since you’re wasting your time downing him? He could probably have your ass killed but u don’t mean anything to him.

Thats great! I am happy for ROMEO. This is not a surprise at all, I am sure his dad & uncle taught him how to ball from real young.

The men in that family can play some B-Ball!! plus they are all tall!

THAT’S GOOD. EVEN THOUGH HIS RICH BUT DIDNT NEED A SCHOLARSHIP. BUT HE GETTIN HIS EDUCATION ON.

For all of the people saying college isn’t for everyone did you go nad did you apply yourself? College is what you make it. Pick a major/field that you love. College is one of the best experiences in life. I think this would be a great experience for Romeo. He’ll meet people of different backgrounds he normally wouldn’t associate with. College is much more than an education it’s life experience. And it buys you some time before “THE REAL WORLD”, LOL!!!!!

I read about it yesterday. Good luck!

I’m loving it, ol tour bus schooled Chris Brown(well let me take him out of this cuz he’s young he might have futrue education plans) but Pretty Ricky(crazy asses), Omarion,and Bow Wow think this music shit is gon last forever they better smarten up like Romeo. A college education is vital now-n-days. Congrats to Romeo, he ain’t lookin to shabby either ump, who knew lil dude would have grown up to be handsome and taller then bow(Lol).

For those of you that question him taking the scholarship: Did you know that Denzel’s son went to college on a scholarship? Denzel refused it and ask the school to give it to a more deserving (less fortunate) kid. The school told him that the scholarship was not for HIM but for his SON. His son deserved it, so why not let him use it?

@72 YOU COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!
@75 YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT COLLEGE EDUCATED. TIP FOR YOU: THE ONLY PAPER THAT HAS STAYING POWER IS A DEGREE…GO READ A BOOK!

i’m really happy for romeo,it looks like master p and his wife did a good job of raising their son,no matter how much money your making all ready, it pays to have some knowledge and education. i knew romeo was good at basketball, he took after his daddy i knew it was just a matter of time before he started balling, i think he’ll make it to the pro’s next so anyway i say congratulations to him,and good luck on everything. i hope he doesn’t let anything stop him or get in the way of him reaching his goals.

Who would he be “taking” a scholarship from? This happens all the time for academically superior students from the top 10% tax bracket in the nation. If the students have the grades and test scores, they can certainly be assured significant scholarships to top research universities in the country. USC is no joke of a school, the largest private employer in LA, and boasts excellent faculty, academics, etc. He is not taking a scholarship from anyone else, he earned it. Now the real test is going to live up to the academic responsibility, as well as the athletic goals.

No, college is not for everyone, but statistically, it has been shown to be an important equalizer in terms of wealth and civic engagement.

College important for a few reasons. There are too few black doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, etc. The only way to become those first four is through education. We need to inspire, encourage, challenge and motivate our children to achieve great things in many realms, not just entertainment. I am not lessening the role of entertainers, but who do you think is a) handling their money and b) representing them in court/legal precedings? People with educations in specific fields.

The stats on the black male college going/graduation rates should cause us all to be in alarm. That’s why people are happy to hear that this young man took and made a decision that we all know he would be just as wealthy and rich had he not.

So you say college isn’t for everyone, no it isn’t. But unfortunately for far too many African Americans it is not the way, which leads to the inverse of sucsessive generations doing better.

I guess people are to lazy to work hard.Theres people outside the country that want education many of us can get.Example, jobs going overseas,they not doing that for nothing.When you get a job you have to start from the bottom.Don’t think your going to get the highest position because it don’t work like that in the real world.To the person who said its about who you know, not really.Its about hard work.Course you want to get yourself out there because you have to.I’m in the coporate world and please believe I had to work at the bottom to the top, I’m in the middle of getting my masters and next thing you know 4-years isn’t going to do anything.You live and learn everyday even till the day you die.Thats real.Stop trying to find the easy way out because there is no easy way out.We fought to have education now people saying its not for everybody?Get out of here.

Agree @ Ms. Gottabody

I am not a hater the boy can play but be real people do this young man really need a FREE education when his daddy has major bread. The scholarship should have went to a hooper who really needed the money to play for college. HOLLA

Again, white children, whose parents are in the top tax bracket and earn good grades and test scores get free educations at the most prestigious schools all the time. Also, there have been numerous examples of African Americans who did not grow up in lush trappings, working day and night to get a college education and went on to do great things professionally and socially.

We are fooling ourselves if we think that the lack of higher education does not hurt Black America. But we must respect everyone, no matter what job they do as long as it is legal. The problems result when we start acting like a so called talented tenth is better than the rest of the other 90 percent.

This is an entertainment blog, so that is the focus. But does anybody follow what’s happening with regards to African Americans in business, higher education, medicine, etc? That’s were we get left behind because we are not “locked” into other modes of seeing ourselves, or have “representation” in films, movies or TV with a diversity of African American life. Education is a costly endeavor, but a life changing experience as well.

I just want more African Americans to understand the power that is inherent in receiving directed education beyond high school.

Well I am in college, as a matter of fact I am almost done and set to graduate a semester early, then right after that, going to graduate school.

However I am a firm believer that college isnt for anyone. There are a great amount of people who simply cant afford it. The school wont give them shit and guess what, both mommy and daddy have bad credit so no one will give them a loan. I fill out the fafsa every year and dont get anything. Why? becuase my parents make “too much” when the truth is i’m barely middle class. There have been many semesters where I didnt know whether or not I was going back due to my financial situation

There are many people that dont thrive in that type of environment and find something else to do with their life. College is nothing to play with and not to mention, its not free. So you really need to ask yourself if you’re truly ready to commit the time and finances

Bow wow has already made it clear that he wants to go to school when he finished with rapping. why are we comparing the two anyway? should be happy for everyone.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON THATS A BEAUTIFUL THING BUT ROMEO LOOK LIKE HE STILL GET TEENAGE BEATINGS IF HE DONT DO WHAT WAS SAID BY HIS FATHER

All-American my _ _ _…..this cat avg. 13 pts. and 5 ast….and that is All-American status….if you check out different websites, Romeo is listed as NR (not ranked)….get me some better news!!!

I think he’s trying to be way to much like bow wow, seriously, i saw pics a while ago on some site, he was standing beside ciara, and seriously it look like he tryin to be like bow wow, he was rockin the same style as bow wow, personally I dun listen to any of them, but im just saying :/

like i said b4 some people dont wanna go through college. i understand you wanna be young and stuff but that doesn’t mean nothing. and most of these people that dont want to go to college are the ones complaining they dont wanna do no more years thinking opportunity falls from the sky, going in the entertainment business is 25% chances. everybody needs to get out of the mode talking bout school aint for everybody man especially financially, if your parents cant claim you then claim your damn self and apply for some loans…geez patience and time dont have nothing to do with it unless you commit yourself.

P seems to be living vicariously thru his son….lol, its kinda nice tho good to see him so actively involved in his sons life.

168, i am in the same situation, my parents make too much for financial aid, and its tough making payments on our own, so yeah its kinda disheartening to see a kid like romeo go to school for free when he is worth over $50 million on his own without his father.

You go head little Romeo. I knew that you had more in you than what you showed. Great Job, man! Make blacks proud!

It’s hard out here, it’s even harder trying to get a job nowadays. I know people who have college degree’s and can’t even find A job, and it’s not because they don’t work hard, they just can’t find a job. Sometimes it is who you know more than what you know.

same, i had no idea he was 5′11, he aint that short!

You have to put yourself into college in order to really get something out of it…It’s one thing to go to college to just get a degree compared to going to college, getting good grades, participating in clubs, programs, researches, networking with professors, playing b-ball, or doing our own side project, etc WHILE getting your degree..Like someone said you have to be motovaited, it will not just fall in your lap….

I wish Romeo the best…hearing this really warmed my heart.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m sure him or his dad has the money to pay for school. He should give up that scholarship and give it to someone who cant afford school. I know someone who did that, and their parents didn’t make as much money as Romeo and Masta P. But they were well off and could afford it.

Happy for him ..Always need a plan B Rome!!Rapping wasnt 4 ya boo…CONGRATS

BUT, all in all, I’m glad to see that he really wants to go to college instead of just rap and act.

Chrsitina, that was a very ignorant comment. I will soon have a Bachelors degree, but I don’t feel I am more “mature” than some who does not. A college education is not the determing factor of one’s maturity level or the way they behave. You are obviously looking for something to make yourself feel superior… Not going to college and working is actually more of an “adult” role than the traditional college experience (i.e. staying in dorm, meal plans etc).

YAY! NO MORE ALBUMS THEN? PLEASEEEEE, NO MORE ALBUMS!

thats good a young rich star (sexy not to mention) going to school. he gone have groupies every where.

I’m happy for Romeo, good for him, USC is a great school, and he’ll be a business major? Oh ahead boo, I wish him the best of luck!

I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY BLACKS THAT WENT TO COLLEGE AND HAVE THIS “IM BETTER THAN YOU” GOING ON WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE I KNOW SOME THAT HAVE WENT TO COLLEGE AND I MAKE WAY MORE MONEY AND HAVE ON HAND EXPERIENCE WHICH IS MUCH NEED WHEN GETTING A JOB!! SO TO START COMPARING HIM TO BOW WOW IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! COLLEGE IS GOOD BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE AND THE BLACKS THAT MAKE IT NEED TO UNDERSTAND ITS FOR A CAREER NOT FOR A RIGHT TO PUT OTHERS DOWN!!!!

I GUESS BEYONCE HAS A COLLEGE DEGREE TOO? I KNOW JAYZ DONT AND HE IS RICH AS HELL YOU GOT SOME DUMB ASS PEOPLE THAT WENT TO COLLEGE TO SO DONT GET IT TWISTED!!!

I’m a student at USC. I think that it’s great that this dude is going to school Yes college is not the only thing after high school but too many young black men don’t even think of college and I think that it’s a positive message to send to kids that yeah I have money, I’m a rapper but that doesn’t mean I can’t go get an education. I think that’s great & it doesn’t hurt that he’s going to my school. :-). Alot of athletes are good students as well. Reggie was a really good student as well as a lot of other people. I think Romeo will do will at SC. Can’t wait to have him as a part of the Trojan Family.

going to school does not make romeo any smarter than anyone. if master p wasn’t his father he wouldn’t even have these opportunities. he can’t act, or rap(especially rap) If he wasn’t already a little star he would have probably not even got that much playing time at his high school. He would have ended up just like a million other dudes in America that can ball, but they couldn’t get a scholarship because there are much more talented people.

183, I dont understand how what I said was ignorant. I am in your same position, as a matter of fact I am graduating in 3 weeks. I said that college matures you in a manner in which nothing else can. Meaning there are other ways to mature but college is a unique experience. I never lived on campus, never had a meal plan, I work almost 30 hours a week, and the only person I live with is my roommate. Not to mention I got loan people counting down the days waiting on my ass when I graduate

Its a different state of mind when you’re in school and paying 900 dollars a class. Thats a hell of a price to just “feel superior” there are still plenty of immature people in college, but for me personally it was a growing experience that helped me mature, I cant speak for anyone else.

lil romeo allow to boy to play the and stop say fuck the is really making it stop hating this boy young and fresh to play!lol

WHY? WHY THA HELL WUD THEY GIVE HIM A FULL SCHOLARSHIP!?!?!? THA BOY IS A MILLIONAIRE! THAT SCHOLARSHIP COULD HAVE GON 2 SOME IN TRUE NEED OF IT. HE COULD HAVE SIGNED ON AS A WALK ON!

That’s what’s up.
