Corey “C-Murder” Miller is the brother of No Limit mogul Master P, who was convicted in 2009 for killing a 16-year-old fan, Steve Thomas, at a nightclub in 2002. Miller has maintained his innocence for years since he was sentenced to life in prison at the Louisiana State Penitentiary.
Kim Kardashian and Monica are now stepping in to help. On Sunday, Kim announced that she is joining forces with Monica to fight for his release. “Today I’m teaming up with @MonicaDenise, @JessicaJackson, and @EdyHaney to #FreeCoreyMiller,” tweeted the beauty mogul.

Kim further argued that there were missteps during the investigation and his trial. “The jury convicted Corey 10-2, and he was sentenced to life in prison. If his trial was today, the jury would have had to be unanimous for him to be convicted,” she tweeted. “Since his trial, witnesses have recanted, new evidence of his potential innocence has come to light, and there are claims of jurors being pressured into voting to convict.”
Meanwhile, WDSU reports that the two witnesses said in 2018 that Miller wasn’t the shooter and that they felt pressure to lie under oath. “True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller he returned home to his kids,” Kim added.

Monica Denise, who dated C-Murder at that time, is also joining the fight for Miller’s release. “Corey deserves to come home to his girls and be the father they need, be the artist & leader he’s always been as well as spread hope to those who have also experienced this,” the singer wrote on Instagram.

Behind bars, a grateful C-Murder Miller showed his appreciation to Monica. “Moses, when they took me I told you go live your life because you didn’t deserve what the system was about to do to me,” he wrote. “You still stood for me, without me asking created a team that could change the outcome of a very unfair fate! You been Forever Tru, One in a Lifetime!! @monicadenise got em saying #FreeCoreyMiller.”
Corey “C-Murder” Miller, 49, was signed to Master P’s No Limit Records in the ’90s and released hits, including “Down for My N’s” featuring Snoop Dogg.
Meanwhile, Kim continues her criminal justice reform campaign. In 2018, she personally lobbied President Donald Trump to commute the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old first-time nonviolent drug offender who was serving a life sentence on drug conspiracy and money laundering charges.
