On Saturday, December 17, Miller wrote a poem titled, 'The Tree of Trauma, ' taking a dig at his father. The poem was captioned, “A poem, because poetry is one of the most powerful forms of therapy. Let’s educate and break these cycles together!. You mental health is just like a muscle that needs to be built and treated. The next generation will grow stronger because of our truths and as a man of God, I know mines will one day too. The Tree of Trauma.” Miller's poem consisted of different kinds of questions, "Why is is that you can’t take the same heat as our mother can?," Further it added,“Why do you feel the need to promote and hold a product on every interview just to validate your worth, don’t the people see that?” and “How come it took my daughter being born, to finally realize that we have blindly been feeding the enemy?."

However, on Sunday, December 18, Master wrote on his official Instagram handle, "I wouldn't wish this on no parent, especially when you try to do everything you can for your kids.@romeomiller What's the plan? You are either part of the problem or the solution. I love you and the door is always open for you but I won't tolerate disrespect. I havent talked to you or seen you in months. God knows I've tried to do my best."

In this post, Miller responded to his father saying, "This was my last straw pops, stop trying to play the victim. I loved you so much that I followed you blindly for 30+yrs. You know we’ve talked behind closed doors. You aren’t the man who you paint to be and why is it war because I refuse to follow ur lead. You only want to protect your image, but the image isn’t even real. And I don’t need anyone to feel sorry for me pops, I’m truly a man of God. If you are really a man of God, then you will prevail in the end, even when I share my truth."

Further, he added, "I’ve tried to keep things in house, you are addicted to social media and unfortunately use this app as therapy. 3k plus post. 👁 and when the world find out about the finances, outside of a gift or a car I’ve never been paid for anything I’ve accomplished as Lil Romeo. Uncle C and Silkk know. You only pay outsiders rightfully so they’ll speak good on your name. I’m at peace because I can now speak my truth and help others. Mom was always right. Your pride is everything."

However, Master then responded by stating, "I thought this was about DJ Twitch and about my daughter’s death. This is heartbreaking, you just exposed that this is REALLY ABOUT MONEY. I watched other celebrities go through this. I’m not playing into this anymore. GOD knows the Truth. I’M AT PEACE. I worked hard to get my family out the ghetto. This Hollywood sh*t gotta stop."

Master continued, "Nickelodeon only paid a few g's an episode and someone would have to sell at least 10 million records to pay my taxes. Every time I fell off I got up and went to work, I didn’t blame anyone for my failures. You started this social media rant. So what’s your plan besides showing the world you’re entitled, spoiled at 30+, and throwing a tantrum on social media?. I never claimed to be perfect. I’m not afraid to admit I’m still growing as a man and a parent. Everybody deals with death in different ways. I get it, I’m just an ATM for this family. I don’t care about an image. The bloggers can have their laughs this week. I’m going to keep working, keep praying and letting GOD guide me. Mental illness is real. @romeomiller."
