After searching for her Mother for days, singer/musician, Meshell N’Degeocello, can finally breath a sigh of relief. We’ve just found out that Meshell’s mother, Helen Byrd Johnson, was found, but little did we know the “[Let Me Run My Fingers through Your] Dreadlocks” singer had been searching for her mother, who has dementia, ever since April 10th (2017). We have also are just learning that on April 21st, Meshell started posting online messages on social media, asking her fans for help finding her mother…probably after she and her family had exhausted all possibilities of locating her on their own.

The first hint that something may have been wrong in Meshell’s life was on April 13th when she simply posted this two-word message on Instagram…

Her fans were confused by what her post represented, but still sent uplifting messages her way, sensing that something was wrong:

@geoff_warner_clayton: Sending you energy for whatever you need right now. ❤

@dmsplace: Lifting you up always. Proud to be a brick in the foundation😏
