Entrepreneur and rapper Master P has focused on the importance of Black ownership and economic empowerment as a means to bridge the racial wealth gap.

Following criticism regarding comments on slavery, Master P clarified that his intent was to encourage a focus on the future rather than a ‘negative mindset’ regarding the past. He used reports concerning potential staff reductions at Louisiana State University’s African American Cultural Center to emphasize the need for community ownership to protect cultural institutions.

Master P has further advocated for generational wealth-building, advising entrepreneurs to invest in themselves and embrace new technologies like AI. He noted that despite the significant annual spending within the African American community, there remains a critical lack of ownership in many sectors.
