Master P has been discussing ownership within the Black community for some time. After investing in Rap Snacks, he began taking on the food industry by storm with his own brand, Uncle P’s food products including pancake mix, syrup, grits, rice, beans, and oatmeal. This also came soon after food brands like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s were under fire for the racist stereotypes in their packaging and names.

Davis told Forbes, “I think Reebok is being undervalued. I left Nike as a 22-year-old kid representing myself and made the jump to Reebok, which took a chance on me as a creative and as an athlete. I want the people I know athletes, influencers, designers, celebs to sit at the table with me.” Master P added, “As we focus on turning Reebok into a lifestyle brand not just a basketball brand, our most important initiative will be to put money back into the community that built this company.”Master P has accomplished a great deal in his lifetime from leaving the streets, playing in the NBA himself, and going on becoming a rap mogul. The question becomes are people willing to let go of their favorite shoe brands like Nike once Reebok is secured by P and Davis. Fans react to the idea of this acquisition on Twitter.
