Rapper Theophilus London 'safe and well' after being reported missing, cousins says

Rapper Theophilus London has been found after being reported missing by his family last week.

The 35-year-old's cousin Mikhail Noel shared an update via Instagram on Wednesday, writing, "We have found Theo. He is safe and well."

"At this time the family would love prayers and privacy. Thank you all!!!" he wrote.

Noel added, "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 didn’t provide details of where London had been found, where he had been or why he hadn’t contacted his family.

London was reported missing on Dec. 27, according to a statement released the following day by Secretly, a music label that has worked with London.

In December, some of London's relatives traveled to Los Angeles to file a missing persons report with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Officer Annie Moran, an LAPD spokesperson, confirmed Dec. 28 that a report for London had been taken. A department news release said London was last seen in the Skid Row area on Oct. 15, and his family had lost complete contact with him.

The family sought the public's assistance in finding London. In their statement, London's family urged the public to reach out to LAPD or the musician's cousin Noel via Instagram (@iamdjkellz). 

London was born in Trinidad and Tobago but raised largely in Brooklyn, New York.

Over the past decade, London has released three studio albums, "Lovers Holiday" (2011), "Vibes" (2014) and "Bebey" (2020). He has worked with Tame Impala, Ellie Goulding, Travis Scott, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, Big Boi and more.

In 2016, London was Grammy-nominated for best rap song and rap performance for Ye's 2015 single "All Day," in which London was a featured performer along with Paul McCartney and Allan Kingdom.

London has frequently collaborated with Ye, who produced and guested on “Vibes.” London would often post updates on Ye's “Donda” and “Donda 2” on Instagram, even saying that he was “promoted to tackle media duties” on Ye's behalf for the month of February.
