Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth is opening up about his daughter being missing for several months.

He shared the heartbreaking story of his ongoing ordeal, revealing that his daughter had been taken by her mother and had been gone for four months. In a detailed multi-slide carousel posted on Friday, December 6th, Trae explained how he was awarded full custody of his 6-year-old daughter, Truth, earlier this year. When he dropped her off for visitation with her mother in Houston in August, she was supposed to be returned two days later, but she never was. Since then, Trae says his daughter’s mother has moved to various cities, attempting to alienate their child from him by spreading lies and filing false police reports accusing him of abuse.

Trae provided proof in a Los Angeles court that his ex was lying, leading to a court order for her to return the child. However, she still did not comply, resulting in a Child Abduction charge being filed by a Los Angeles judge. Trae shared that his ex tried to enroll their daughter in a Los Angeles school secretly, but when the judge discovered this, Truth was removed from the school and has not attended classes since. Trae has also hired a private investigator who confirmed that his daughter, her mother, and her grandmother have frequently moved from home to home.

“I’m crushed,” he wrote in the caption. “This ain’t right or fair for fathers who are really trying…. I DON’T CARE WHO SHE PAY OR TRY TO GET TO CAMPAIGN OR BASH ME, I’m only trying to get my daughter who I love dearly!! I know God’s got this, and in the end, He will get the glory; He is the only one that can fix this situation. No matter how this hurts me, I wish no ill will on her mother and can only pray for her. Y’all DO NOT make any threats or hateful comments on her page…This is all about God getting the glory and Truth being returned. If you see her, contact me or any agency, investigator, or CPS; they will return her home safely,” he wrote in the caption.

The post received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow artists. It’s unknown why Trae was initially awarded full custody of the child.
