Theophilus London, a rapper from Trinidad and Tobago, was reported missing by his family on Tuesday, police said.
“On October 15, 2022, at approximately 12 p.m., London was last seen in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles,” the LAPD said in a press release. “The reporting person and family members of Theophilus lost all contact with him in October 2022. London has not been seen since and his family is concerned.”
According to Variety, London’s family and friends believe someone last spoke to the musician in July in Los Angeles and have been trying to locate him for the past few weeks before the report was filed.
“Theo, your father loves you, son,” his father, Larry Moses London, said in the family’s statement. “We miss you. And all your friends and relatives are looking for you. Wherever you are, send us a signal. Either way, we’re coming to get you son.”
London, 35, grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He released three studio albums – 2011 Timez are weird these days, VIPs and 2020 grandmother. London has frequently collaborated with Kanye West and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2016 for “Best Rap Performance” after appearing alongside Paul McCartney on “All Day”. He could most recently be heard on Young Franco’s Get Your Money, which premiered last September — a month before his last appearance in California.
London’s family members traveled to Los Angeles earlier this week as they tried to track down his whereabouts. They ask that anyone with information on his whereabouts or well-being contact the LAPD or London’s cousin, Mikhail Noel, on Instagram at @iamdjkellz.
