Rumor: Rapper Master P's son to play for USC basketball team

Media Take Out is reporting that rapper/producer Master P's son, a rapper himself, Lil Romeo will forgo his rapping career for a chance to play college basketball at the University of Southern California, where he has received a full scholarship. Romeo will take his father's support with him as he embarks on this chapter in his life. The music mogul shared his enthusiasm by saying,

 

USC is a great school and I felt like he made a great decision ... it's just great for [Romeo].

The 6 foot tall Beverly Hills High School student reportedly averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists a game this past basketball season. Says his best friend and future teammate Demar Derozan,

 

He's no gimmick. He can play and is going to be one of the top point guards in the 2008 class.

According to the Daily News, Romeo will most likely not accept the scholarship due to he and his family's wealth.
