About this listen
In the past few days, the story of D4vd, who shot to prominence with viral hits like Romantic Homicide, has taken a gripping and increasingly dark turn, dominating both headlines and social chatter. Just over a month ago, the decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas was found in the trunk of D4vd’s abandoned Tesla at a Hollywood impound lot. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified her but has not released a cause of death. The LAPD has executed multiple searches, seizing computers, hard drives, electronics, and neighborhood surveillance footage from D4vd’s recently vacated Hollywood Hills residence, hoping to reconstruct the timeline of Rivas’s final days. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Tesla was ticketed and flagged on a Hollywood street for days before being towed, its location and movement now essential evidence.
Law enforcement, as reported by ABC News and Complex, continues to reiterate that D4vd has not been named a suspect, though his connection to the case intensifies as new details emerge. He’s reportedly hired Blair Berk, a well-known criminal defense attorney, suggesting anticipation of legal pressure. Private investigators made headlines on October 30, reporting they had found “heavy-duty tools and machinery” at his rental—items considered bizarre for an upscale Hollywood home and described as “sadistic stuff” by the investigator during a Court TV appearance. The implication remains speculative, and authorities are still awaiting toxicology results.
On social media, D4vd’s profile has undergone rapid changes; Digital Music News reports that posts are vanishing and all promotional content for his deluxe album Withered have been put on hold by his label and management. His world tour, originally set through US and Europe, is now canceled. His last Instagram post, which The Economic Times confirms, was a straightforward promo for the upcoming Withered deluxe edition, mere hours before the body was found. The post now sits as a timestamp in the case, rapidly accumulating comments—some supportive, others venomous and speculative.
D4vd’s friends and close associates have gone quiet, something Men’s Journal characterized as “a telling move,” as many have scrubbed their accounts and keep a low profile. In parallel, screenshots from fan chatrooms and old livestreams have surfaced, including an unsettling clip highlighted by the New York Post showing D4vd and Rivas joking about statutory rape, ending with his demand to “delete everything” and switch off the stream.
For now, D4vd remains a figure under investigation but not under arrest, fully cooperative per statements to NBC 4. The biographical impact of these events can’t be overstated—the abrupt end of burgeoning music careers, public scrutiny, and legal exposure mark a turning point for the young artist who, until recently, was best known for heartfelt, digital-age anthems. The social media silence, canceled career plans, and legal maneuvers foreshadow a long-lasting shift in his trajectory, whatever the outcome of the investigations.
