MASTER P AND ROMEO HEAD TO GITMO: Father and son to perform for troops at Guantanamo Bay.
*Rap mogul Master P (Percy Miller) and his rapping son, Romeo, will perform for U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba next month as part of a Navy-sponsored goodwill trip.
Their scheduled Oct. 13 concert marks the first time a rap act will take center stage at the U.S. Navy base, which has been under fire in recent years for its treatment of military prisoners from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Past performances at Guantanamo Bay have included John Secada, Joey Daniels, Hootie and the Blowfish, Charlie Daniels, Toby Keith, Joan Jett, and Jimmy Buffet.
The Millers will be flown on a U.S. Navy jet from Jacksonville to Cuba, where they are likely to perform a 45 minute set. Last June, P and Romeo joined country star Lee Ann Womack to perform a “welcome home” event for soldiers stationed in Vicenza, Italy.
The father/son duo will drop a new DVD/CD, “God’s Gift,” on Nov. 14.
