Missing rapper Theophilus London has been found after not being seen for five months.
It was revealed in the early hours of Thursday morning that the 35-year-old artist had been discovered ‘safe and well’ after his worried family filed a missing person’s report last week.
Their report came after Theo had not been active on social media since July 11 and hadn’t been in contact with them in months.
Theo’s cousin, Mikhail Noel, confirmed that Theo had been found in a post shared on Instagram.
‘We have found Theo,’ the upload read, alongside a photo of the rapper. ‘He is safe and well, at this time the family would love prayers and privacy. Thank you all!!!’

‘Truly appreciate everyone’s support in finding my cousin,’ his caption added.
‘It’s refreshing and rewarding to have such a strong support system of family and friends!!! God bless each and everyone of you all.’
Theo’s concerned relatives filed an official missing person’s report with the Los Angeles Police Department in December where they appealed directly to him.
They also appealed to the public for any information that might lead to his safe return.
A statement shared by his representatives with several media outlets read: ‘Over the last few weeks, friends and family of Theophilus London have been working together to piece together his whereabouts.

‘The last time someone spoke with him reportedly stretches back to July 2022 in Los Angeles.
‘On December 27, family members of Theophilus London travelled to Los Angeles to file a missing persons report with the LAPD. They are now seeking the public’s help with any information as to London’s whereabouts.’
Theo’s father Lary Moses London sent a message directly to his son, and said: ‘Theo, your Dad loves you, son. We miss you. And all your friends and relatives are searching for you.
‘Wherever you are send us some signal. No matter what we will come get you son.’
