NBC Los Angeles reported that the rapper was spotted walking in West Los Angeles by friends who had set out to look for him, according to his father, Larry London. The friends ended up taking him home and soon London will be en route to be with his family in New York for a funeral. He will then take off to Trinidad to recapture himself.
“Theo is in Los Angeles and heading to family in New York for a grandmother’s funeral and after that we want him to go to Trinidad to recuperate and to regenerate and get himself together,” his father told the media outlet. “He’s been through an ordeal. His mind is fragile. He needs to get back to writing his music.”
The 35-year-old London, Trinidad and Tobago native was raised in the borough of hip-hop legends, Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. in Brooklyn. He appeared on the Grammy-nominated song, All Day, off of Ye‘s album in 2016. He was the featured artist with Paul McCartney on the song that was nominated for best rap performance.
London is no stranger to albums. He has released three studio albums, 2011’s Timez Are Weird These Days, 2014’s Vibes, and his last project, 2020’s Bebey.
He also appeared on Young Franco‘s Get Your Money, which was released in September.
