On 31 August 2011, Nat Powers and his mother narrowly escaped being killed in an explosion that tore apart a kebab shop. A body was discovered in the wreckage by firefighters, and was later identified as employee Fiaz Ahmed Ansari. Six people – two men and four women were arrested by police shortly after the explosion, and in September 2012 two of the suspects were found guilty of manslaughter and jailed for eight years each. Nat Powers described seeing a flame ball shoot out and the metal shutters "flying across the road" to local media in a TV interview, and remarked that to avoid something as devastating as that, "someone was most certainly watching over them".

In 2010, he began close a working relationship with the son of Dr. Dre, Curtis Young. Together they created an album, titled 'Doctor's Note' with Young providing the vocals and Powers on the production. The album had a worldwide release in September 2012.
