The Milton Police Department in Milton, Georgia, has issued a missing person alert for Nathan Smith, the 27-year-old son of Lil Jon, born Jonathan Smith.

According to a post on the department’s Facebook, Nathan is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs approximately 150 pounds and has short black hair. He was last seen Tuesday around 6 a.m. ET after running out of his house. Authorities say he left on foot without a phone and warn that he “may be disoriented and in need of assistance,” noting his family is concerned for his well-being.

“The family is asking for privacy at this time,” a representative for Lil Jon said in a statement to ABC News. “We are also asking for continued prayers for Nathan to come home safe. Thank you.”

Anyone with information or tips that could help locate Nathan is asked to contact the Milton Police Department.

Nathan, Lil Jon’s son with ex-wife Nicole Smith, has followed in his father’s footsteps as a DJ named Young Slade. “When my son graduated from DJ academy, I teared up to see him following in my footsteps,” Lil Jon told Huff Post in 2014, one of the few times he has spoken publicly about his son.

Nathan has discussed his father’s legacy on several occasions, most notably as a cast member on MTV Family Legacy in 2025. That same year, the two appeared together on an episode of Celebrity Family Feud.

Nick Jonas‘ daughter, Malti Marie Jonas, whom he shares with wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas, just turned 4. But the singer has revealed that when she was born in 2022, things were pretty touch-and-go.

Appearing on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, Nick says, “She came to the world under sort of very intense circumstances, which I’ve not really talked about ever.” He went on to explain that Malti, who was born via surrogate, was expected to arrive in April; instead, she came in January.

“We got to the hospital, and she came out, she was 1 pound, 11 ounces,” Nick said. “And purple, basically. They — these angels at the NICU — kind of resuscitated her in that moment and got her taken care of really quickly and intubated and everything else.”

“My wife and I, we basically shared 12-hour shifts at the hospital for 3 1/2 months,” Nick added. After “six blood transfusions,” he said, “She was doing great and we got to take her home.”

Nick believes that because of that experience, “I feel like she knows how she entered the world and what that first chapter of her life was like. And so every day is a gift, and you can actually feel it on her in the way that she behaves and how exciting everything is.”

“I don’t know how much she remembers,” he added. “Probably nothing. But spiritually I believe that there’s gratitude in her and, you know, she’s incredible.”

Nick also described Malti as “magic in every sense of the word.” He said, “It blows my mind, I look at her and I can see her future. I just know she’s going to do amazing things, and I’m awestruck that I get to experience her magic.”

‘The Gray House’ (Prime Video)

On Feb. 26, the eight-part Prime Video series The Gray House arrives, along with a soundtrack that boasts Lainey Wilson, Shania Twain and Willie Nelson

Executive produced by Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman, among others, it stars Mary-Louise Parker and Ben Vereen in the “extraordinary true story of the unsung women who helped turn the tide of the American Civil War in favor of the Union,” according to a news release.

Willie’s track “Heart of America” is the soundtrack’s lead single. 

“I’m not sure what Willie’s process is,” Costner says, “but it’s clear that Willie was ready and willing to go deep when thinking about that terrible moment in American history where our country was divided and at war with itself, a moment in time that I believe we still have not fully recovered from. Willie’s talent, while always on display, found a new depth at least for me.”

You can check out the “Heart of America” music video now. 

Lainey contributes “Dead End Red Dirt Road,” while Shania teams with Drake Milligan on “I’ll Be Here with You.” The War and Treaty, Yolanda Adams, Scott Stapp and Larkin Poe also contribute tracks to the soundtrack, which arrives Feb. 26.
