The Daily Mail has contacted the Milton Police Department for comment. 

Slade, the son of Lil Jon and Nicole Smith, has loved music from a young age and has been performing as a DJ under the name ‘Young Slade’ since he was a child.

Lil Jon shared with the Huffington Post in 2014 that he cried with emotion when his son graduated from DJ academy, proud to see him pursuing the same path.

His music career flourished after he graduated ‘scratch’ academy as a child. 

Lil Jon shared in a 2023 podcast interview that his son began DJing at just 11 years old. He enrolled him in Scratch DJ Academy, and he completed the program around age 12 – he was the youngest graduate! During his teenage years, he started performing at clubs in the Los Angeles area while also beginning to create his own music.

He explained that children often naturally follow in their parents’ footsteps, inheriting both a predisposition and learned behaviors. Because of this, his son was almost guaranteed to pursue a career in music – it was simply in his blood.
