Dividing star D4vd, supported by Jimmy Kimmel, Benny Blanco, and SZA, under scrutiny for severe accusations relating to a missing girl
In the world of music, D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, has been making waves. At just 18 years old, he made his late-night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel and collaborated with artists such as Kari Uchis, 21 Savage, and Holly Humberstone. However, a shocking turn of events has cast a dark shadow over his career.
On October 2024, the dismembered remains of a missing 15-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas, were found inside a Tesla registered in D4vd's name. This discovery sparked a homicide investigation, and Rivas's family has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.
Rivas's brother claimed that his sister left home to go see a movie with D4vd in May 2024, but never came home. No charges have yet been filed, and no persons of interest have been named in the case. D4vd is said to be cooperating with investigators.
The investigation has had a significant impact on D4vd's career. Brands Crocs and Hollister pulled the performer from their 'Dream Drop' marketing campaigns, and his national tour promoting his debut album, 'Withered,' has been suspended indefinitely.
Interscope Records, D4vd's record label, announced it was shelving a planned release for Burke's deluxe album. His 'Crashing' collaboration with Kari Uchis, which was still accessible on Spotify despite Uchis' request to have it removed from all streaming services, has also been affected. Uchis is working to get the collaboration taken down.
D4vd's social media pages show pictures of him posing next to Billie Eilish, Rosalia, 21 Savage, and producer Benny Blanco. However, the controversy surrounding him has led to dozens of fellow artists and celebrities, including Kari Uchis, Tyler, the Creator, Daniel Caesar, Addison Rae, Tate MacRae, and Ice Spice, to unfollow him on Instagram.
In a strange twist, D4vd's alter-ego, Itami, is known for his bloodied shirts. These shirts form part of the character he created, but they now serve as a grim reminder of the ongoing investigation.
As the investigation continues, the music industry and fans alike wait to see how this will affect D4vd's career and future.
