鈥淭heo, your Dad loves you, son," his father, Lary Moses London, said in the family's 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.鈥�

London has frequently collaborated with the artist now known as Ye, who produced and guested on 2014's 鈥淰ibes.鈥� London would often post updates on Ye's 鈥淒onda鈥� and 鈥淒onda 2鈥� on Instagram, even saying that he was 鈥減romoted to tackle media duties鈥� on Ye's behalf for the month of February.
London himself has released three studio albums 鈥� 2011's 鈥淭imez Are Weird These Days,鈥� 鈥淰ibes鈥� and 2020's 鈥淏ebey.鈥� He recently was a featured artist on Young Franco's 鈥淕et Your Money,鈥� released this past September 鈥� the month before he was last seen.
While 鈥淰ibes鈥� was a Warner Records release, 鈥淏ebey鈥� was released on London's own label, My Bebey Records.
鈥淚 wanted to see what a sense of family is, a sense of me having a plot of land, building a house on my own land, instead of sleeping at a hotel for the rest of my life,鈥� of branching out on his own in 2020.
