Elijah Randolph addresses concerns after farewell video

Elijah Randolph, a social media influencer and brother of singer Keyshia Cole, has addressed concerns following a farewell video posted to his TikTok and Instagram accounts. The video, which included messages stating, “This is goodbye forever,” caused alarm among his followers and family members when he could not be reached.

Following the post, Randolph’s brother, Sammy, reported that the family involved the police and provided authorities with Randolph’s home and work addresses. The family sought to move beyond a standard wellness check to a search of the locations.

Randolph later returned to TikTok to clarify his intentions. He stated that his departure was not related to a mental health crisis or a threat to his well-being, but was instead a decision to leave the platform. He addressed critics and noted that those close to him were aware of his whereabouts, while expressing frustration with public entitlement regarding his personal life.
