Aspiring rapper Theophilus London was last seen on Skid Row in Los Angeles months before his family reported him missing on Tuesday.
Skid Row is a high-crime, poverty-stricken area of L.A. inhabited by vagrants and drug addicts.
According to the L.A. Times, the aspiring rapper left his home on Ventura Boulevard on Oct. 15, and was last seen on Skid Row.
London’s phone records show he was in contact with someone, via text message, that day. Police believe someone last spoke to London by phone in July, adding that “family members lost complete contact with him in October.”
London’s concerned family traveled from his native Trinidad to Los Angeles, where they filed a missing persons report on Tuesday.
Secretly, a record label group, issued a statement on behalf of the family on Wednesday.
“Theo, your Dad loves you, son,” Lary Moses London, the rapper’s father, said in the statement. “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.”
London is described as 6-feet-2 inches tall, weighs 175 pounds and has dark brown eyes, according to the statement.
Police are searching through coroner’s reports for unidentified deceased Black males who match that description. Bodies that go unclaimed are usually buried in a pauper’s grave.
London, 35, was a key collaborator on Ye West‘s Donda album.
In 2016, London was nominated for a Grammy Award for Ye’s 2015 single “All Day.”
London released three studio albums, “Lovers Holiday” (2011), “Vibes” (2014) and “Bebey” (2020). His first EP, Lover’s Holiday, featured collaborations with Solange Knowles and Dave Sitek.
Anyone with information on London’s whereabouts is asked to contact LAPD or London’s cousin, Mikhail Noel, on Instagram at @iamdjkellz.
The news of London’s disappearance coincides with reports that Ye West hasn’t been seen in weeks.

No missing persons report was filed for Ye, but his former business manager reported him missing in court.
Thomas St. John, who is suing Ye for breach of contract, said in court that he hasn’t spoken to Ye in weeks.
