Miller gained fame in the late 90's with the success of his group TRU & his fifth album ''Ice Cream Man,'' which contained his first single "Mr. Ice Cream Man". In 1997, after the success of one his biggest singles to date, "Make 'Em Say Uhh!," went platinum, Miller grew further in popularity. Then Miller released his second platinum album ''Ghetto D''. Miller also starred in his own street film, mostly based on his life, ''I'm Bout It,''.
Then In 1998, P. Miller released his most highly successful album to date ''MP Da Last Don''. The album was also based on a film that Miller produced, which came out earlier that year with the same name. The album hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts, selling over 400,000 copies in it's first week. The album was certified 4x Platinum, with over four million copies sold, making it Miller's best album of his career. In 1999, Miller released his eighth album, ''Only God Can Judge Me.'' It was not as successful as his last album, though it still managed to reach a gold certification. Miller also starred in the successful movie, ''I Got the Hook Up,'' with A.J. Johnson.
In the 2000s, as No Limit Records popularity was going down, Miller's was also as well. So P. Miller decided it would be best to re-launch No Limit Records as New No Limit Records. On November 28, 2000, he released his ninth studio album, ''Ghetto Postage;'' it was less successful, selling 500,000 copies, compared to earlier releases; critics ravaging the album led to diminishing sales. In 2003, Miller starred in the film Lockdown. Then, in 2004, P. Miller released his eleventh album, ''Good Side, Bad Side'' it charted number 1 on the Independent Billboards & managed to sell over 300,000 copies. Then on that same year Miller released his first independent album ''Living Legend: Certified D-Boy'' on his new founded label Guttar Music the album only sold 75,000 copies.
In 2011 it is known that Miller is working on a new soundtrack with his managing artist Gucci Mane that the two are producing & starring in entitled Get Money which will be produced by Drumma Boy.
Miller has also made history as the first hip-hop entrepreneur to own a cable television network, Better Black Television, (BBTV) whose aim is to promote positive messages and content to the African American culture. The network was launched in 2009. Executives include Denzel Washington, Derek Anderson of the Charlotte Bobcats, DJ Kool Herc and Bo Derek. P. Miller is starring in a new film with his protege Gucci Mane entitled ''Get Money'' which is based on his book of the same name.
Miller's financial status has been brought to light as the rapper and his ex-wife are engaged in a heated battle over child support. The millionaire mogul, whose net worth was once estimated at $600 million, has only been ordered to pay $271 a month in child support for each of his four minor children.
Numerous lawsuits forced P to shut the label down and file for bankruptcy in 2003,

Romeo was invited, in the summer of 2006, to the Reebok-sponsored ABCD Camp, which is considered the premier basketball camp in the United States. The Teaneck, New Jersey-based ABCD Camp is an invitation-only basketball showcase previously attended by high-profile players including Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. Surrounded by future NBA players such as O. J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Love, Miller looked out of place and averaged less than 2 points a game throughout the camp. ''The Wall Street Journal'' made an article on March 8, entitled "A Hot Prospect," cites Sonny Vaccaro, the longtime director of the ABCD Camp, as explaining, "he invited Romeo Miller to the 2006 camp, primarily as a favor to Percy Miller, whom he knew from the club basketball circuit." In the article, Vaccaro indicated, "If you're looking for the profile of an athlete who plays basketball at USC, he's not it."
On April 13, 2007, Miller verbally committed to the University of Southern California (USC) and signed a letter of intent on November 19, 2007.
Miller, a 5'11" point guard, was a four year starter at Beverly Hills High School. As a junior during the 2005–2006 high school season he averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists per game. As a senior during the 2006–2007 high school season he averaged 8.6 points and 9.0 assists per game.
According to ''The Wall Street Journal'', it appears the decision to grant Miller a full scholarship at USC was largely driven by his relationship with friend and teammate Demar DeRozan, the 6-foot-6 All-American forward who was rated as the number five prospect in the country on Scout.com. ''The Wall Street Journal'' reported Coach Tim Floyd as saying, "Last April...Percy Miller called while driving both players from a tournament in Fayetteville, Ark...Percy Miller said 'Demar and Romeo are ready to make their decision, and would you like to have them both on scholarship?'...'I said absolutely.'" Miller and DeRozan began playing in the 2008–2009 season.
Miller had a disappointing career at USC. In his two seasons as a Trojan, he played a total of 19 minutes in 9 games and scored a total of 5 points.
