According to The Sun, Los Angeles Police Department stated, "On October 15, 2022, around 12 pm, London was last seen in the 'Skid Row' area of Los Angeles."

The LAPD stated, "Over the last few weeks, friends and family of Theophilus London have been working together to piece together his whereabouts. London has not been seen since and his family is concerned. They are now seeking the public's help with any information as to London's whereabouts."
"The person reporting and Theophilus's family members lost complete contact with him in October of 2022," the LAPD said, adding, "The last time someone spoke with him reportedly stretches back to July 2022 in Los Angeles."
London, who was born in Trinidad and raised in Brooklyn, had a breakthrough in 2011 with the release of his album titled 'Timez Are Weird These Days'. In order to increase the excitement, he frequently performed his own hooks before rapping as he polished his sound over futuristic synths.
London's 2020 album 'Bebey' was his best work to date as it showcased his improved vocal abilities over captivating synthpop production. Raekwon, one of the original Wu Tang Clan members, and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, who created the throbbing dance track 'Only You' and 'Whiplash', were both featured on the album.
