Rapper Theophilus London, reported missing more than a week ago, found safe, family says

Trinidadian rapper Theophilus London has been found a week after he was reported missing by family.

“We have found Theo. He is safe and well,” his cousin, Mikhail Noel, posted on Instagram. “At this time the family would love prayers and privacy. Thank you all!!!”

Noel added that they “truly appreciate everyone’s support in finding my cousin. It’s refreshing and rewarding to have such a strong support system of family and friends!!! God bless each and everyone of you all.”

The post did not say where the Grammy-nominated performer was found, where he’d been or why he hadn’t contacted his family. They filed a missing persons report with the Los Angeles Police Department on December 27, claiming they had not heard from London in months.

The 35-year-old musician, once a dedicated poster to social media, stopped sharing content to Instagram back in July. Authorities in a statement last week said he was last seen in the Skid Row area in October, not long after family completely lost contact with him.

“Wherever you are send us some signal,” his father said in the same press release. “No matter what we will come get you son.”

Born in Trinidad and Tobago, London and his family later moved to New York before settling in Pocono, Penn., where he attended his junior and senior years of high school. He’d long dreamed of a career in music before sharing his first mixtape “JAM!” in 2008.

London has since released three studio albums: 2011′s “Timez Are Weird These Days,” “Vibes” and 2020′s “Bebey.” He also frequently collaborates with Kanye West, the artist now known as Ye. In 2016, he was nominated for a Grammy for best rap performance for a featured spot alongside Paul McCartney on West’s “All Day.”

London has also worked with Travis Scott, Azealia Banks, Tame Impala, Ellie Goulding, Big Boi and most recently appeared on Young Franco’s “Get Your Money,” which was recorded prior to his disappearance.
