Master P is set to make ’em say uhh, if by “’em” you mean the NFL — the head No Limit soldier is now the official “entertainment ambassador” for the next Super Bowl.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell made the announcement during a press conference on Friday (August 30).
Super Bowl LIX is set to go down at the Caesars Superdome in the Crescent City on February 9, 2025, and the mayor used the press conference to announce some plans for the big day and beyond.
She began praising Master P as someone who “[demonstrates] the real resiliency of this community” and who shows that “there’s no limit when you put your mind on accomplishing great things for the city of New Orleans.”
“We are announcing Master P as the New Orleans entertainment ambassador,” she continued.
The Mayor announced that the entertainment ambassador initiative will involving creating what she called a “No Limit platform” to “stimulate educational and cultural opportunities for the city of New Orleans and her residents.”
“This will be a collaborative of New Orleans entertainment advisors for film, television and music,” she continued.
The initiative will involve classes to teach entertainment business skills, and there is also room for Master P to expand its efforts.
“Master P has the clout to connect New Orleans to more major special events [and] opportunities at every single level,” Mayor Cantrell said. “[He] will be a force multiplier for our culture, cementing our city on the world stage.”
Master P took the podium following the mayor.
“To bridge the wealth gap, there’s a lot of things that we have to do to put money back into our culture,” he said. “We have to teach entrepreneurship, we have to teach leadership, and we have to focus on the younger people in this community… I want more for the city of New Orleans.”
This past spring, prior to getting his new position, Master P had other ambitions — he wanted an NBA coaching job.
While talking to TMZ at the time, the No Limit boss discussed the state of his hometown team, the New Orleans Pelicans. He said that the team, who went 49-33 last season, gave him something to look forward to.
“I think we got a great team,” he said. “I just think that maybe we gotta wait a couple more years.”
He volunteered to help that process along, closing his interview by directly addressing the team’s management.
“Y’all need to put me on the coaching staff next year [and] we gonna win the whole thing,” he said.
