“We have found Theo,” Mikhail Noel, London’s cousin, said in a post to Instagram. “He is safe and well. At this time, the family would love prayers and privacy. Thank you all!”

London’s family filed a missing persons report with the Los Angeles Police Department in December and asked for the public’s help to find him. A news release on Dec. 28 said that London had last been seen in the Skid Row area of the city on Oct. 15, 2022.

Noel’s post did not offer any specifics about where London had been found or why he had been out of contact, according to The Associated Press.

Machine Drum, a frequent collaborator with London, also posted on social media to say the rapper had been found and was safe with family.

London, 35, was born in Trinidad and Tobago and later raised in New York, according to the AP. He was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2016 for best rap performance for a featured spot alongside Paul McCartney on Kanye West’s “All Day.”
