A fellow rapper from London, known as ‘Milkavelli’, posted a picture of the two of them together holding a lighter, which has since been deleted.
According to The Sun, the friend captioned it with the words: ‘Reunited with my actual twin. Theres [sic] no feeling so great.’
He is also thought to have been pictured on a scooter on another friend’s post.
The rapper had originally been convicted after he shot harrowing footage on his mobile phone for six hours of his younger girlfriend, Louella, overdosing at Bestival, as she screamed ‘This ain’t acid. I was not expecting this’.

She had also repeatedly shouted for him to call her mum and when her parents were phoned the sound of their daughter overdosing was so harrowing they jumped in their car and rushed from London to Dorset but tragically arrived too late.

Broughton was originally convicted in March 2019 of manslaughter by gross negligence and supplying class A drugs and jailed for eight years and six months. However, he walked free on August 18 after a Court of Appeal judge ruled prosecutors failed to prove Louella could have lived if he had called for help
Jurors were told that instead of phoning 999, Broughton stayed in the secluded wooded area with Louella.
Broughton, who raps under the stage name CEONRPG, was convicted in March 2019 of manslaughter by gross negligence and supplying class A drugs and jailed for eight years and six months.
However, he walked free on August 18 after a Court of Appeal judge ruled prosecutors failed to prove Louella could have lived if he had called for help.
A statement issued by the rapper’s lawyers when his conviction was overruled said: ‘The Court of Appeal has today found that Louella’s death occurred not as a result of criminal negligence but was instead a tragic accident.
‘Ceon remains devastated by her death. He has always wished that he could have done more to save her.
‘He loved Louella and she him, but he knows that no words will ever be sufficient to convey his sense of responsibility for what happened or to begin to remove the pain that others have been caused.’
The ruling was described as a ‘kick in the teeth’ which added to Louella’s family’s continued agony over her death and they said Louella has been ‘denied justice’.
The videos of Louella’s overdose had appalled Holby City star John Michie, 64, and wife Carol, who had welcomed Broughton into their home and believed him innocent in the hours after their daughter’s death.
Speaking from the witness box at the trial, Louella’s father, Holby City star John Michie, 64, said: ‘I think Louella loved Ceon. I’m not sure he loved her. I don’t know how you could ever say you loved someone if you left them to die in front of you’
Speaking from the witness box at the trial, John Michie said: ‘I think Louella loved Ceon. I’m not sure he loved her.
‘I don’t know how you could ever say you loved someone if you left them to die in front of you.’
Broughton previously admitted supplying drugs to Miss Fletcher-Michie at Glastonbury festival, in June 2017, and was in breach of a suspended prison sentence imposed for possessing a lock knife and a Stanley knife blade.
Prosecutors told jurors during his trial that Broughton failed to take ‘reasonable’ steps to seek medical help for Miss Fletcher-Michie.
They claimed he avoided going for help because ‘didn’t want to be arrested’ while on a suspended sentence.
