DJ Young Slade – Lil Jon’s son – was laid to rest this week following his father’s confirmation of his death earlier this month.
Lil Jon shared a tribute on Instagram, stating, “On the first day of Ramadan yesterday, We laid my only son to rest. In this holy month, I’m asking for extra du’a for him and for our family.”
The rapper continued, “I love you, son. Life will never be the same without you. Allah, give me strength.”
Lil Jon announced his son’s passing at the beginning of February, describing Nathan as “the kindest human being you would ever meet.”
Nathan Smith, as well known as DJ Young Slade, was reported missing in Georgia, and a body was later recovered from a pond. Police reported no indication of foul play.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner has stated Nathan’s cause and manner of death are currently undetermined.
