Master P and Mia X were among the New Orleans legends inducted into the NOLA Walk of Fame this week, just before Super Bowl LIX kicks off.
Earlier this week, Master P stood on Canal Street, reflecting on his journey from selling popcorn in the Superdome to becoming an architect of Southern Hip-Hop, as he was officially inducted into the NOLA Walk of Fame. The ceremony paid tribute to Master P’s legacy, alongside other influential figures who have shaped New Orleans’ cultural, business, and sports scenes. The event observed the impact of local heroes, including the late Tom Benson, former owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, and his widow, Gail Benson.
Other honorees included former NFL star Marshall Faulk, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, actor Wendell Pierce and local entrepreneur Al Copeland, founder of Popeyes Chicken.
Following the induction, Master P made another lasting mark in his hometown by donating the camouflage outfit he wore during his “No Limits Reunion Tour” in 2020 to the Hard Rock Cafe New Orleans. As the NOLA Walk of Fame expands across a designated 4.5-mile stretch, plans are underway for a museum that will highlight the stories and achievements of its inductees.
