MILTON, Ga. — Rapper and producer Lil Jon has confirmed that the body recovered from a pond in northern Georgia is his son, bringing a tragic end to a days-long search that had drawn widespread public attention.
Authorities located the body Friday in a pond near a residential area in Milton, Georgia, close to where the young man had last been seen earlier in the week. Law enforcement officials had previously stated that the body was believed to be Lil Jon’s missing son pending official identification. That confirmation has now come directly from the artist.
In a statement shared publicly, Lil Jon confirmed that the individual found was his son, expressing grief and asking for privacy as the family processes the loss. The son, who was in his late 20s, had been reported missing after leaving his home without his phone, prompting an extensive search involving police, fire crews, and K-9 units.
Officials have indicated there are no immediate signs of foul play, though the investigation remains open as the medical examiner works to determine the official cause and manner of death. Authorities have not released additional details at this time.
The news has prompted an outpouring of condolences from fans, fellow artists, and members of the music community, many of whom have taken to social media to express support for Lil Jon and his family during this difficult moment.
Police continue to ask the public to respect the family’s privacy as the investigation proceeds.
