While speaking about the relief materials, Master P revealed that anyone over 60 years could get them as long as they provide an identity card showing their age. He also said:
"We are probably the only ones in New Orleans that have it, so we want to make sure that the elderly have it."

In a previous video shared in March, the 49-year-old was seen shopping for groceries with his team. The caption of the video detailed that people who make a lot of money are expected to give back to the society.
He continued by adding that he and his team are interested in helping the elderly in their community get through the ongoing pandemic. He further wrote:

He also expressed gratitude to his team and volunteers, including Mercy Miller, Hercy Miller, and Romeo Miller.
Master P was born Percy Robert Miller in 1969. He grew up in New Orleans, a city associated with rich musical tradition and an underdeveloped hip hop culture.
After the death of Master P's grandfather, he inherited ten thousand dollars, which was eventually invested into his record label, "No Limits Records."
