Rapper Theophilus London has been found safe after going missing for months, according to a relative.
“We have located Theo. He is safe and sound “Mikhail Noel, the rapper’s cousin, posted on Instagram. “The family would appreciate prayers and privacy at this time. Thank you so much!!!”
The post didn’t say where London was found, where he’d been, or why he hadn’t contacted his family, who reported him missing to Los Angeles police last week and asked for the public’s help in finding him.
The Los Angeles Police Department has yet to respond to questions about the family’s post. London’s family and friends said they believed the musician was last spoken to in July in Los Angeles.
London, 35, was prolific on Instagram, but his last posts were also in July.
According to a Dec. 28 news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, London was last seen in the Skid Row area in October and his family had lost contact with him.
The rapper was born in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in the New York borough of Brooklyn. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2016 for best rap performance for a featured spot on Kanye West’s “All Day.”
London has frequently collaborated with West, now known as Ye, who produced and appeared on “Vibes” in 2014. London frequently posted updates on Ye’s “Donda” and “Donda 2” on Instagram, even claiming that he had been “promoted to tackle media duties” on Ye’s behalf for the month of February.
London has released three studio albums: “Timez Are Weird These Days,” “Vibes,” and “Bebey” in 2020. He was recently featured on Young Franco’s “Get Your Money,” which was released in September, the month before he was last seen.
