In a moment that has left the hip-hop world and his loyal fans in stunned silence, incarcerated rapper C-Murder (Corey Miller) has released what many fear may be his final public letter — a raw, tear-soaked farewell penned from behind the cold steel bars of a Louisiana prison. After more than two decades behind bars and repeated failed appeals, the 54-year-old artist has accepted that freedom may never come. The letter, shared through trusted intermediaries and posted online late last night, is not filled with anger or defiance. Instead, it is a deeply personal tribute to his brother Master P, his children, his fans, and the life he once lived — a haunting reminder of an undying bond that remains unbroken even in the face of life’s cruelest tragedies.

“Time has taken everything from me except the love I still feel for you all,” C-Murder writes in the opening lines. “I’ve fought every day to prove my innocence, but the system doesn’t always hear the truth. I’m tired. I’m at peace with whatever comes next. But before I go quiet, I need to say thank you.”

He directs the bulk of his gratitude toward Master P (Percy Miller), the No Limit Records founder who has stood by him through every appeal, every court date, and every dark night. “Percy, you never turned your back. You kept my name alive when the world tried to bury it. You fought for me when I couldn’t fight for myself. You’re more than a brother — you’re my heart. Thank you for never giving up on me.”

C-Murder also addresses his children, acknowledging the pain of years spent apart. “I wanted to be there for every birthday, every graduation, every heartbreak. I failed you in ways I can never fix. But know this: I loved you every single second I was locked away. I still do. Be strong. Be kind. Be better than I ever was.”

To his fans — the millions who bought his albums, chanted his name at shows, and never stopped writing letters — he offers a simple but powerful goodbye: “You kept me going when I wanted to give up. Your letters, your prayers, your belief in me — they meant more than any platinum plaque. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more music, more shows, more of me. But I carried your love with me every day.”

The letter ends with a quiet acceptance of his fate: “If this is the last thing I get to say, then let it be this: I’m grateful. I’m loved. And I’m at peace. Thank you for everything. Goodbye.”

The words have triggered an outpouring of emotion online. Master P reposted the letter with a simple caption: “My brother. My heart. Forever.” Fans flooded social media with tributes, memories of classic No Limit tracks, and prayers for C-Murder’s peace. Many expressed anger at the justice system, while others focused on the humanity behind the headlines — a man reflecting on love, regret, and gratitude as the years behind bars stretch on.

C-Murder was convicted in 2009 of second-degree murder in the 2002 shooting death of 16-year-old Steve Thomas outside a nightclub in Harvey, Louisiana. He has maintained his innocence throughout multiple appeals, with supporters arguing prosecutorial misconduct, unreliable witness testimony, and racial bias tainted the trial. Despite several overturned convictions and retrials, he has remained incarcerated.

The letter arrives at a time when C-Murder’s health has reportedly declined, adding urgency and sorrow to its release. Whether this truly is his final public statement remains unknown, but its impact is undeniable: a once-larger-than-life figure reduced to quiet reflection, offering thanks instead of anger, love instead of blame.

For a generation that grew up on No Limit’s raw energy, the letter is a sobering reminder that time eventually quiets even the loudest voices. Yet in its simplicity and sincerity, it also reaffirms what made C-Murder resonate: an unbreakable loyalty to family, friends, and fans — a loyalty that endures even when freedom does not.

Rest in peace to the man behind the music, and strength to those who still carry his name forward. The silence may be heavy, but the love remains loud.
