Rapper Percy "Romeo" Miller has officially signed on as a member of the 2008 Universities of Southern California Trojans basketball team.

Romeo, a 5'11 All-American point guard at Beverly Hill High School, will put all of his film and TV roles on hold, while he attends USC and earns his degree in business administration.

According to representatives for Romeo, he is is the first nationally known active Hip-Hop star to receive a full athletic scholarship.

Romeo's brother Vercy Miller is also signing with the Trojans, as well as standout shooting guard DeMar DeRozan of Compton High School.

Romeo starred in the hit sitcom Romeo! and has sold millions of records throughout his recording and television career, which is overseen by his father, mogul/entrepreneur Percy "Master P." Miller.

Lovely. Guy who has enough money to go to USC without having to pay a dime anyhow, gets a full ride.

we still don't know if he did or not. USC fans are saying that's a mistake, but I think Floyd probably told him he'd give him a ride figuring he can always convince him later to give it up. He signed him to get DeRozan and get in good with Sidney. Nobody seems to know a thing about Vercy Miller and this release is the only one that says USC signed him.

Bow Wow is only 20 so maybe USC can find a spot for him too.

You know it's an odd sports signing when it's being reported on the tv guide channel.
