J-Kwon Located
Co-CEO of Gracie Entertainment, Dorian Washington, issued another statement from the label on Thursday to announce that J-Kwon had been located. The prior day, Gracie had issued a statement that the rapper had been missing for nearly a month. Dorian says:
I am very happy to let everyone know that I personally spoke with J-Kwon today, and he is okay. He’d like to send a sincere apology to his friends and everyone who showed concern this week. He was taking some time to himself as he sometimes does, not realizing that people would start to worry after a while.
A few days out of touch versus a month is quite a difference. Right now he just wants to keep doing what he’s doing, and will be more available for those who care about him. We thank you again for your outreach, and we are relieved to know he’ll be alright.
