Lil Jon Posts Tribute Recalling Final Japan Trip With Late Son

His post urges people to cherish loved ones before time runs out.

Overview

  • Lil Jon shared an emotional Instagram video Saturday looking back on his last trip to Japan with his son, Nathan Smith, known as DJ Young Slade.
  • He told followers not to put family off and to make lasting memories, saying the experience now carries a different weight.
  • The montage showed museums, Michelin‑star sushi, a samurai sword workshop, an anime drawing class, and drift driving tied to Japan’s car culture.
  • He has also honored Nathan with his first tattoo, saying his son will be with him wherever he goes.
  • Nathan, 27, was found in a Milton, Georgia pond after he went missing, and an autopsy ruled an accidental drowning in the setting of psilocybin use, the hallucinogenic compound in “magic mushrooms.”
