HOUSTON – Trae Tha Truth is usually making headlines for his music or philanthropic work around the Houston area, but tonight, he’s turning to the media for a much more serious reason, and that’s to locate his only daughter who he says has been missing for about four months now.
“She’s the boss, she controls, like she definitely made me soft, you know a lot of the stuff I wouldn’t do I definitely do,” Trae said when talking about his daughter Truth. “I would never imagine me sitting up in cheerleading practice, I would never imagine doing all types of stuff with her, but she’s the life of the party.”
Those feelings displayed in a song he wrote called “Letter to Truth.”
The same love for his youngest child that makes him smile, is what now brings tears to his eyes.
“Right now, I don’t know where my baby laying her head, I don’t know what her mental is, I don’t know what she’s eating, I don’t know if she got clothes. I don’t even know whose house…I don’t know if she sleeping on the floor,” he said.
Truth has been missing for four months.
“The mother came to Houston and said she wanted to exercise her visiting, so I took her and dropped her off in Humble,” he said.
“You thought you were going to get her back, that was a Friday, you thought you were going to get her back that Sunday?” KPRC 2 reporter Deven Clarke asked.
“Yea, Sunday before 6 p.m.,” Trae replied.
“But you never saw her again in person after that?” Clarke asked.
“Naw,” Trae replied.
He says tracking down Truth’s mother, 36-year-old Heather Cuevas hasn’t been easy.
“The phones was disconnected or, at this point…she just vanished, so luckily man, somebody told me that they were spotted in LA and that’s how it started to where I left to go to LA looking for her.”
Trae says there are several warrants for Cuevas out of Texas and California aiming to have Truth recovered. While Trae waits, he not only has a message for Cuevas but anyone who may be helping her hide their daughter.
“Me and Truth going to have to deal with all kinds of therapy. So, at this moment I’m asking Heather, just think for other than you the same way I would have to think for other than me. Think for Truth because at the end of the day, the goal is for her to live a better life than us,” he said.
Truth Thompson is 3′4, 65 pounds, and light complected with long black hair.
If anyone knows where she or her mother is, you’re asked to call 911 immediately.
