Followers of Elijah Randolph, who happens to be Keyshia Cole’s brother, have expressed concern after the social media influencer shared a video with goodbye messages across his social media platforms. Randolph uploaded a video across his accounts, including TikTok and Instagram, informing his supporters that they would likely never see him again. Despite being published on Sept. 30, 2026, in the clip he claims to have recorded the message on Feb. 16.
“I am leaving,” he exclaimed. “I gotta go. Elijah is done. Elijah is gone, baby. I didnt want to make a preemptive video like this because I hate it, and I think it’s corny, but b***h, we here, So we gon take it for what it is. I was able to live the life of my dreams. I was able to help everybody. If I start crying, I’m sorry. I get emotional about stuff like this. I love each and every one of you. I think what I was able to do was amazing.”
He doubled down on his exit in the caption, writing, “This is goodbye forever. I love you, and I hope you understand. Remember you are important, you are loved, you are a voice that deserves to be heard. He continued, “Never forget that you always have a friend with me, even when you feel alone. Never give up. 09/29/2026.”
His followers flooded his multiple comment sections with messages of kindness, concern, and requests for Randolph to respond. In a video message obtained by “The Shade Room“, Randolph’s brother Sammy explained that he “got the police involved,” and shared the work and home address of Elijah after family members were also not able to successfully make contact.
As noted by TSR, Randolph was adopted as an infant and reconnected with his biological mother, the late Francine “Frankie” Lons, and sister Keyshia Cole in his teenage years.
