Rapper Theophilus London is “safe and well”, it has been announced.

The 35-year-old’s family reported him missing in Los Angeles last week and appealed for people’s help finding him – saying they believed someone last spoke to the musician in the US city in July.

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

London posted prolifically on Instagram until July, when his posts stopped.

On December 28, a Los Angeles police press release said London was last seen in the Skid Row area in October and his family had lost contact with him.

The rapper was born in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

He was nominated for a 2016 Grammy for best rap performance for a featured spot alongside Paul McCartney on Kanye West’s All Day.

London has frequently collaborated with West, now known as Ye, who produced and guested on 2014′s Vibes.

London would often post updates on Ye’s Donda and Donda 2 on Instagram, even saying he was “promoted to tackle media duties” on Ye’s behalf for the month of February.

London has released three studio albums: 2011′s Timez Are Weird These Days, Vibes and 2020′s Bebey.

He was recently a featured artist on Young Franco’s Get Your Money, released in September, the month before he was last seen.
