Canadian born rapper Forest "DY" Schab has been reported missing after a trip to Mexico. The 23 year old, up and coming rapper is known for his rhymes in Danny Fernandes' Passenger and most recently the overly catchy That's My Spot with Danity Kane alum D.Woods. His plans were to go away to a two week retreat where he would not be receiving calls or messages. After messages and efforts to contact the rapper remain unanswered following the two weeks, his family reported him missing to the Toronto Police. Due to his singing career, they wanted to keep it out of the public as long as possible.
“We knew Forrest was not going to be available for 2 weeks, and we didn’t know if he was coming home or staying down there. We didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention that may embarrass him”, Jessica Schab said, “We just kept thinking give it one more day and we’ll hear from him. We never expected that he was missing. We thought Forrest might turn up any day and didn’t want to negatively affect his career while he was gone”
It came as a shock to most that his label, CP RECORDS would still release his song That's My Spot after he went missing. Many are calling it a publicity stunt. But CP RECORDS CEO, Tony Sal, is quoted as saying "We have spoken with the Schab family and sympathize greatly with them. At their request, we will continue with the release of DY’s single ‘That’s My Spot’ immediately as his family believes there is nothing more important to DY than to have his music heard.” The release of That's My Spot was slated for right after his collaboration with Danny Fernandes' on Passenger. This was put back due to the situation.
The Toronto Police are urging anyone with information to please contact them at 416-808-2222. If you are in Toronto you can also call 222-TIPS or visit your nearest police station.
