Nathan Smith, the son of legendary rapper Lil Jon, has died at the age of 27.

Lil Jon, whose real name is Jonathan Smith, confirmed his son’s passing in a statement to People Magazine on Friday.

“I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of our son, Nathan Smith,” said the “Get Low” singer, 55. “His mother [Nicole] and I are devastated.”

“Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever meet. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted—he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest.”

He added, “He was an amazingly talented young man; a music producer, an artist and engineer, and graduate of NYU.”

“We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together, we’re comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him.”

Nathan Smith reportedly ran barefoot out of his house without a phone on Tuesday, Feb. 3. He was reported missing, setting off a search that ended in tragedy.

Cherokee County Fire Department divers located and recovered Nathan’s body from a pond in Mayfield Park, near Smith’s home in Milton, on Friday morning. Authorities extended their search to include the pond after failing to find him over several days.

The Milton County Police Department announced they had recovered the body earlier on Friday.

“Based on the investigation to date, there is no indication of foul play,” the department said in a statement. “However, the Milton Police Department Criminal Investigations Division will continue to treat this as an open and active investigation.”

Nathan was a musician who performed under the name DJ Young Slade and had a small following on Soundcloud. His last single, “Feels,” was released in March 2025.

In a 2025 interview with The Quintissential Gentleman, Nathan expressed gratitude for how his father allowed him to grow into his own artist.

“It’s dope to appreciate my dad, show respect, and just look at all the things he’s done, and it’s nice to get the torch passed down and do my own thing,” he said. “Because it’s like it comes from him, but also I’m definitely taking it and making it my own.”

‘Home Alone’ Star Learns Fate in Prostitution Case

Home Alone star Daniel Stern has had his case for allegedly soliciting a prostitute dismissed. Senior Deputy District Attorney Twyla Atmore informed Ventura County Judge Paul Baelly on Friday that the case was being thrown out. Just weeks before Christmas 2025, Stern, 68, who played one half of Home Alone’s iconic “Wet Bandits,” Marv Murchins, was busted in a California hotel prostitution sting operation. The actor was initially released from the scene with a ticket, before being indicted on a misdemeanor charge one month later. In California, where solicitation is illegal, Stern could have faced a $1,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail if convicted. Now, the actor is free of all charges. Following the indictment, Stern was let go from the pilot for ABC TV show Do You Want Kids?. Days later, the Home Alone actor said he was commissioned to sculpt a self-portrait for the owners of the iconic McAllister house. The sculpture will depict Stern’s end-of-movie scene where his character comes face-to-face with a tarantula. “It’ll be done in a couple of months, but it’s so sweet to think of it in that house—these folks love that house so much and love the movie so much,” Stern told People.
