Growing up in the gritty streets of New Orleans, the 54-year-old started heading down a dangerous path until his grandmother scared him straight with visions of his funeral.<\/p>\n<p>In a new interview with <em>Fox &amp; Friends,\u00a0<\/em>the successful business mogul looked back on his journey to Hip Hop infamy and revealed a few secrets along the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though my kids got a better life and even though we have nice things, but you still got to work for what you want,\u201d Miller said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m here for you, but you got to work for what you want, and if whatever you love to do, what you passionate about, I\u2019m going to support you with it, but you need to get up in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to educate yourself. You need to go to church, you need to do those things that\u2019s going to make you a good person and have integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/embed.js?id=6297802753001&amp;w=466&amp;h=263\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/noscript><br \/>\nBut Master P\u2019s road to glory wasn\u2019t paved in gold. An aspiring NBA basketball player, he eventually joined the University of Houston\u2019s team until an injury sent him packing. He thought his life was over as he took the Greyhound bus back to the Louisiana projects. Now dealing drugs and hanging out with a motley crowd, his grandmother feared for his life but eventually said something to him that hit home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandmother really scared me when she put that dress on her nightstand and said she\u2019s going to wear that to my funeral, if I didn\u2019t get my act together,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo be honest with you, I cry to myself and I realize this ain\u2019t the life I wanted, and that\u2019s when I started changing my life, and I think it\u2019s a blessing to have people that care about you, that also give you tough love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, Master P moved to Richmond, California and opened up No Limit Records with a $10,000 inheritance he received from his late aunt. The rest is history and, as he said, he was \u201cable to make <em>Forbes<\/em> fortune under 40.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CaCnH31l0vT\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
