For Romeo Miller, working on the Lifetime Christmas movie, We Three Kings, helped him process the grief of his late sister, Tytyana Miller.

“That film is — not to give too much away, but it’s unlike any holiday film,” the rapper, 35, exclusively told Us Weekly at the It’s a Wonderful Lifetime event in Los Angeles on Tuesday, November 19. “I’m not saying that because I’m in it, but the story’s really deep. It deals with grief.”

Tytyana died in May 2022 at age 29 following a series of struggles with substance abuse and mental illness, Romeo and Tytyana’s father Master P announced at the time. In addition to Tytyana and Romeo, Master P, 54, is also the father of sons Veno, 33, Hercy, 22, and Mercy, 19, and daughters Inty, 31, Cymphonique, 28, and Itali, 23. The rapper also raised his nephew, Vercy, 33, following his brother’s death.

“I lost my little sister two years ago. Tytyana Miller, rest in peace. I love you. But it helped navigate and helped guide me through how to deal with grief,” Romeo explained on Tuesday. “Because everybody in the family deals with it differently and it’s hard to have those conversations sometimes.”
