Houston rap icon Trae Tha Truth began 2025 with an unforgettable moment: reuniting with his missing 6-year-old daughter, Truth, after a months-long search. The heartwarming reunion took place near the U.S.-Mexico border in El Centro, California, following an unexpected call on New Year’s Day.
Trae shared that the call came early in the morning, notifying him that his ex-partner… the mother of his daughter… had been arrested on child endangerment charges.
Wasting no time, the devoted father booked the next flight from Texas to San Diego and drove over 100 miles to the small border town where his daughter had been located.
“Getting that call was a blessing,” Trae revealed. “It’s a moment I’ve been praying for.”
Truth had been missing for four months. Trae explained that he dropped her off in August for what was intended to be a brief two-day visit with her mother in Houston.
However, the situation took a troubling turn when Truth was not returned. According to Trae, the child’s mother had been moving her between various homes, allegedly with help from relatives and others.
The arrest of Truth’s mother ultimately led to the breakthrough Trae had been seeking. Following the reunion, Trae confirmed that his ex is expected to be extradited to Texas to face legal proceedings.
Meanwhile, Trae has safely returned to Texas with his daughter, marking a joyous conclusion to a harrowing chapter in their lives.
Throughout the ordeal, Trae never lost hope. His relentless efforts to locate his daughter underscore the depth of his love and commitment as a father. Fans and supporters have since flooded social media with messages of relief and congratulations for the artist, who has long been celebrated not only for his music but also for his activism and dedication to family.
