  "account": "Lil Jon discussed his memoir I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me on ABC’s Nightline, addressing emotional topics surrounding his life. The Atlanta producer opened up about discovering that the father who raised him wasn't his biological father, leaving him with numerous unanswered questions. Emotions ranging from anger to sadness to doubt consumed him, leading him to question how his life would have been different if he had known his other father. He also touched on the tragic death of his 27-year-old son, Nathan Smith, who drowned in February while Jon was in the midst of writing the memoir. Jon revealed that his nearly 2-year-old daughter, Nahara, played a significant role in helping him cope with the pain following her brother's loss. She brought warmth to his life when he felt cold and helped repair some of the brokenness he experienced.",
