Lil Jon and his family are asking for privacy and prayers after the rapper’s 27-year-old son, Nathan Smith, was reported missing in Georgia.

The Milton Police Department shared a missing person’s alert on Tuesday (Feb. 3) on Facebook. Alongside two photos of Nathan — who makes music under the name DJ Young Slade — the post reads, “Subject ran out of his house and has been missing since.”

“Subject left on foot and does not possess a phone,” it continues, directing those with relevant information to call 678-297-6300 or email to Det. Sarah Moore (sarah.moore@miltonga.gov). “He may be disoriented and in need of assistance. Family and friends are concerned for his safety.”

In a statement shared with Billboard, a rep for Lil Jon said, “The family is asking for privacy at this time.
We are also asking for continued prayers for Nathan to come home safe.”

The “Turn Down for What” musician shares Nathan with estranged wife Nicole Smith, from whom he split around 2022 after about 18 years of marriage, according to People. The stress of their separation led Lil Jon to make his 2024 album Total Meditation.

“I’ve always kind of meditated a little bit,” he told XXL that year, “But when I turned 50, started going through a lot of things. Started going through a divorce, I’m separated now, and all the emotions from the divorce and all that process was really getting to me. So, I found I had to start to go within to calm myself.”

Lil Jon is also a dad to 1-year-old daughter Nahara, whom he welcomed in 2024 with his girlfriend, business owner Jamila Sozahdah.

J. Cole has revealed the tracklist for The Fall-Off two days ahead of the album’s Friday (Feb. 6) arrival. The double-LP boasts 24 tracks in total.

It’s broken down into 11 tracks plus a bonus on each disc, which are titled Disc 29 and Disc 39. It’s possible that the featured guests are being hidden.

In addition to Cole, Dreamville cofounder Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, T-Minus and Dreamville are credited as executive producers. The back cover reveals posters of Cole’s hip-hop inspirations, including rap legends such as Nas and 50 Cent.

J. Cole also released a statement alongside the tracklist, which provided some context into The Fall-Off and how he intends for the album to be the last in his decorated career.

“The Fall-Off, a double album made with intentions to be my last, brings the concept of my first project full circle. Disc 29 tells a story of me returning to my hometown at age 29,” he wrote in the second slide of his Instagram carousel posted Wednesday (Feb. 4).

Cole continued: “A decade after moving to New York, accomplishing what would have seemed impossible to most, I was at a crossroads with the 3 loves of my life; my woman, my craft, and my city. Disc 39 gives insight into my mindset during a similar trip home, this time as a 39 year old man. Older and a little closer to peace.”

The Dreamville boss previously explained that the second disc came about after being creatively reinvigorated following his apology to Kendrick Lamar in 2024, which saw him bow out of a potential feud with the Compton rapper.

“2 years ago, after the events that still feed the algorithm to this day, I became incredibly re-inspired, and the album slowly blossomed into a double disc as the concept expanded. I felt there should be an additional cover that represented that,” Cole wrote when revealing the covers on Jan. 29. “Something just as strong as the first, with my face on it, so when I look back in 20 years, I can see an image of who I was at the time I released the project I worked on for so long.”

Alongside the album’s announcement in January, Cole set the table for the project with the accompanying single “Disc 2 Track 2,” which found him rapping his life’s story in reverse.

He celebrated turning 41 on Jan. 28 with a surprise for the fans with the release of the Birthday Blizzard ’26 EP, which packaged four hard-hitting freestyles hosted by DJ Clue.

BTS is one of the biggest groups in music, so it’s not hard to find tons of available merchandise dedicated to the K-Pop act.

Rare collectibles – like vinyl box sets and other exclusive and officially licensed limited-edition items from BTS Official merch sites, Weverse and BT21 merch — tend to fly off the shelves, especially with news of a comeback and a world tour in the works.

You can always check out sites like eBay and Mercari to get your hands on limited-edition or sold-out BTS merch, but for BTS fans who might not have tons of money to spend on resale items, we put together a list of some of the best (and more affordable) unofficial BTS merch that you can buy from Amazon and Walmart right now.

Whether you’re an ARMY, or shopping for one, this roundup features pieces of BTS-inspired merch, including apparel, photocards, calendars, jewelry, electronics, collectible figurines and other cool gift ideas for die-hard K-Pop lovers — and almost everything on the list is under $100. While you’re at it, we’ve compiled a list of the best sites to search for tickets to BTS’ ARIRANG World Tour online. We’ve also included discount codes that will likely cut ticket pricing down significantly. Shop here.

This satin pillowcase from Kitsch is affixed with every BTS member’s specific BT21 character but solely focuses on Shooky, Suga’s character. The pillowcase zips up over a standard pillow and can be taken off to machine wash. According to Kitsch, satin pillowcases offer a cooling effect. They also prevent hair breakage and frizziness, and are more hygenic than your average pillow case that can harbor bacteria.

Crossbody bags are often a stellar option to take with you to concerts. With BTS’ world tour approaching, you’ll want to prepare with a stadium-ready option that can carry all your essentials, including your lightstick. This crossbody is affixed with chibi figures of each BTS member. The straps are detachable and adjustable, letting users tailor the fit of their bag. The body of the bag is ample enough to hold a phone, keys and wallet easily. It is also compact enough that you won’t be stopped while heading through security to see BTS on tour.  

Bag charms are still all the rage in 2026, and the trend doesn’t seem to be dying out anytime soon. This fuzzy BT21 keychain doubles as a bag charm and is meant to represent Jungkook. The charm depicts a fuzzy pink bunny, otherwise known as Cooky. The feisty-looking rabbit is affixed to a silver closure that allows users to attach this bunny to their bags, lanyards and keys, of course, adding a touch of personality to any item it’s clasped to.

Built teamed up with BTS all the way back in 2021 to launch collaborative water bottles meant to represent each member and their individual style and personalities with unique prints. No matter which member you choose, the water bottles can hold 18oz of liquid of your choosing that will stay at your desired temperature thanks to the bottles’ double-walled insulation.

“Dynamite” dominated the Billboard Hot 100 charts and stood at the number one spot for a whopping three weeks. In total, the song enjoyed 32 weeks on the charts, which is no small feat. With that in mind, it’s safe to say people enjoyed the track and its accompanying music video seeing the members dancing near a donut shop, standing out front of an ice cream parlor and boogie-ing as a group in front of a building reading “Disco.”

All of these iconic locations were taken straight from the music video and turned into a Lego set made for all ages. The set is extremely detailed, down to the frosted pink donut atop a building, and comes with mini figures of all the members, plus accessories. This is certainly a piece we can see ARMY proudly displaying alongside their other BTS merch.

If you’re a hardcore BTS stan you’ll know all about BT21 Line Friends. The cute little mascots were created through a collaboration between the South Korean boy band BTS and LINE FRIENDS, a global character brand. Whether you stan Suga or Jimin, you can show your loyalty by snagging yourself a sweet little headband affixed with each member’s BT21 character. The characters attached to the headband are 3D and plush.

Like the entry before this, you’ve got more BT21-inspired merch, this time in the form of a bracelet. The characters are clearly beloved, given they appear in a slew of the boy band’s merch. This stainless steel chain bracelet features every member’s assigned LINE FRIENDS characters so you can rep the whole band in style. This item of merch is very subtle, perfect for BTS fans who want to rock the band’s merch without looking too cheesy or loud.

BTS has an array of Funko Pop figures already available; however, if you’re a Suga solo stan, this one is for you. This Agust D figurine is inspired by the rapper’s 2023 hit “Haegeum” and depicts Suga in his music video look down to his accessories. The vinyl figure stands at 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) tall, the perfect size to display on a shelf.

You know what your fridge is likely lacking? BTS merch. Not to worry, though. You can now buy mini acrylic magnets depicting portraits of each member at Walmart. These magnets include all seven members of BTS, all suited up in their 2021 “Permission to Dance” live stage outfits. The magnets are currently available for $5.97, so you can buy all seven magnets without breaking the bank. Or you could be a proud solo stan and just grab one.

These six-inch BTS figures are meant to for display and would look pretty amazing alongside your other BTS merch. Retailing for $11.99, each figure depicts one of the members in a colorful anime-esque style attached to a base so the figure can stand up. If you want to buy all seven members’ figures, the whole lot will run you $49.99.

Similar to the figure above, this figure depicts each member of BTS in a sweet little chibi style, but with a twist. These collectables were made in collaboration with Tamagotchi Nano, a miniature, portable version of the popular Tamagotchi virtual pet. Nestled in the lap of each figure, you’ll find a functioning Tamagotchi Nano loaded up with two mini games and little playable characters depicting the BTS members. Interactive and fun, we can envision this piece making a great gift for the gamer ARMY in your life.

Even More BTS Merch That We Love

Mr. Mayers’ class is in session. A$AP Rocky headed back to a Harlem elementary school to teach kids a thing or two about rap for the Wednesday (Feb. 4) episode of Celebrity Substitute.

Rocky was peppered with questions initially by the inquisitive fourth graders, who asked about his real age, if he had ever been bullied and if he was married to Rihanna. Each student then had a crash course in Rap 101, which saw them flip their names into a couple of rhymes.

“[Rap] means everything. Rap is my life. I was actually just like you guys. I grew up not too far and that’s where I learned to rap,” he said.

Rocky surprised the kids by building out a professional recording studio space in the school, and they each had a chance to bring their bars to rap over the Harlem native’s Don’t Be Dumb single “Punk Rocky” beat.

Fatherhood is treating Rocky well, as his parenting skills were on full display while being patient with every kid and giving them some helpful rap tips. He even stepped in to deliver some bars himself.

Rocky also played music-video director while assisting in choreographing the kids’ debut visual “IDK,” which was shot in the classroom in part with a fish-eye lens.

“Welcome to Harlem/ This is where I live/ There’s no other place as unique as this,” a couple of the students rapped together.

It looked to be a heartwarming exchange for Rocky reconnecting with the youth, and the students got a once-in-a-lifetime experience out of it, too.

The Mob frontman delivered his Don’t Be Dumb album in January, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 123,000 total album units earned.
