Master P responds to TMZ: "My priority is to provide a safe environment for my family. She's a grown woman and she's free to do whatever she wants outside of the home. But I'm not going to allow access to her boyfriend and partying friends to come over and sleep where my kids are. She's barely there, she doesn't even take my kids to school and my sixteen year old failed all of her classes last year under her mother's lack of guidance. This is the first time I'm hearing she has a hernia and vertigo. By the looks of her Instagram pics by the pool and the beach partying in the blazing sun, she looks quite healthy and happy. This is all a publicity stunt. I'm not feeding into her games. She needs to get focused on being a better mother to her kids and stop partying with her friends. My family lives in a safe guard gated community in Calabasas, where visitors are documented. These records will be furnished to the courts to show the heavy traffic and penalties that I have had to pay for all the crazy parties she's been having throughout the years. She has the nerve to get upset because I refuse to buy her a new car. She doesn't take our kids to school or anywhere else they need to be. She's selfish, ungrateful and irresponsible. If she's unappreciative of her lifestyle, why isn't she working instead of waiting for me to give her more money for her extra curricular activities. Most of my kids are grown and have already moved out, she's only raising one underage child of ours which is my sixteen year old while the rest are with me. My ex is basically letting it be known that I have been taking care of her and our kids all this time without a judge or court order. I'm just fed up with the extra bs. I have a lifetime commitment to my kids, I will always take care of my family and I wish the best for her, she's the mother of my kids."

Earlier today, a TMZ report was released claiming that Master P was threatening to stop paying rent on his ex-wife Sonya Miller's home and repossess her car. In an Instagram post, P. Miller responded with a lengthy statement that says his ex-wife is making these claims as a publicity stunt. Miller contests that his former wife has to get her life together and that he will not "allow access to her boyfriend and her partying friends to come over and sleep where my kids are." The rapper also says that Sonya does not take care of their 16-year-old daughter who, according to P, is the only one of their children still living with the mother. "She's barely there," writes Miller. "She doesn't even take my kids to school and my sixteen-year-old failed all of her classes last year under her guidance...She needs to get focused on being a better mother to her kids and stop partying with her friends."

Miller ends the response with an anecdote about his children, "I'm just fed up with the extra bs. I have a lifetime commitment to my kids, I will always take care of my family and I wish the best for her, she's the mother of my kids." The full statement can be read above.
