Percy Romeo Miller Jr. (born August 19, 1989), also known by his stage name Romeo (formerly Lil' Romeo), is an American rapper, actor, and television personality.[1] He gained fame as a rapper in the early 2000s after signing with his father, Master P's record label No Limit Records. His 2001 debut single, "My Baby" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded his debut studio album Lil' Romeo, which peaked at number six on the US Billboard 200.[2]

In 2002, Miller released his second album Game Time, which charted at number 33 on the US Billboard 200. In 2004, Miller released his third album Romeoland, which charted at number 70, and in 2006, he released the digital album Lottery under the name Romeo. That same year, Miller released an accompanying soundtrack to his film God's Gift; his first explicit album. To date, it has sold over 300,000 units.

In 2007, Miller was offered and accepted a scholarship to play basketball for the USC Trojans, at the University of Southern California. He played basketball for the Trojans under his birth name, and played for the team until 2010.[3] Aside from music, Miller has also worked as an actor and was given his own television series on Nickelodeon titled Romeo! in 2002, which ran for three seasons. Miller starred in the feature films Jumping the Broom (2011) and Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (2012).
