About this listen
In the past few days, the story surrounding D4vd, known offstage as David Anthony Burke, has taken significant turns and captivated headlines nationwide. First and foremost, ABC News confirmed that the decomposing body found in a towed Tesla registered to D4vd is that of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The investigation by Los Angeles authorities continues, with no public charges or direct implication of the singer, but interest in the case has intensified due to social media activity and speculation about his connection with Celeste and her family.
Reports from VICE and News Nation point out the growing scrutiny of D4vd’s creative use of disturbing visuals, particularly his music videos and stage props involving caskets and scenes that eerily resemble the unfolding real-life tragedy. These have led to widespread online speculation, yet as Charles Latibeaudiere from TMZ noted, artistic choices alone do not imply criminal guilt. Past TikTok comments, including one referencing alleged inappropriate conduct, have resurfaced, but they lack verified context. Additionally, a demo track named "Celeste" leaked online, further fueling social media sleuths and the rumor mill, compounded by revelations that both D4vd and Celeste had matching "Shhh…" tattoos.
The Miami Hurricane detailed that Celeste’s family and community mourned her death, and confirmed that she first met D4vd via social media when she was just 12 years old—a fact that has unsettled both law enforcement and fans. Friends of the singer reportedly believed Celeste was older, as she was seen with D4vd at several age-restricted events. While the cause of Celeste’s death is still undetermined, LAPD has stated publicly that D4vd is neither charged nor named as a person of interest; his current legal exposure relates solely to concealment of a body. D4vd has retained criminal defense attorney Blair Beck to represent him as the investigation continues.
On the business front, The Economic Times and ABC7 note that major disruptions have hit D4vd’s career: concert dates in both the US and Europe have been abruptly cancelled, including his anticipated performances in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as a sold-out Grammy Museum event. Ticketing platforms and venues now list these as canceled, with silent confirmation from all parties involved. D4vd transferred ownership of his Texas home to his mother two weeks after Celeste’s body was discovered, a move some interpret as protective but with no official explanation.
Regarding recent public presence, D4vd has made no posts on Instagram or other platforms since September, choosing to remain out of sight. Social media buzz continues with amateur detectives analyzing leaked tracks and matching tattoos, but with no official LAPD statement, these remain unconfirmed. For now, D4vd’s once promising alt-pop tour promoting "Withered" is on indefinite hold, and his future in both music and public life hangs in the balance as the investigation unfolds.
