The Tragic Death Of Master P's 29-Year-Old Daughter Tytyana Miller
Rapper Master P's daughter Tytyana Miller has died at the age of 29. Master P, whose real name is Percy Robert Miller Sr., shared Tytyana with his ex-wife, Sonya Miller. Fans of Master P might remember Tytyana from her stint on the family's reality show "Growing Up Hip Hop." Tytyana's storyline throughout the series focused heavily on her addiction issues.
In one Season 2 episode, Master P and Tytyana's brother and former Nickelodeon star Romeo Miller scolded her for being late to an important meeting and insisted she take a drug test, as their trust in her was broken. In another dramatic moment on the show, Master P and Romeo sat down with Tytyana to discuss her ongoing problems. The clip showed Romeo and Master P urging her to go to rehab, though Tytyana remained adamant she did not need professional help.
What is clear from those clips is just how much Tytyana was adored by her family. Her father and brother have now publicly confirmed her tragic death with emotional statements on social media.

Tytyana's brother Romeo Miller also posted a statement on his social media announcing the tragedy. "Although this is sad times, we are forever grateful for the memories we did have with our amazing sister," he wrote in an Instagram story. "Love on your loved ones, life is short."
