The music of emerging artist D4vd is experiencing a sharp, macabre surge in popularity, coinciding with a disturbing homicide investigation. The increase in streams comes after the dismembered body of a 15-year-old runaway, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer. The case has taken an even more eerie turn due to the chilling resemblance between the crime and the imagery in one of D4vd’s official music videos.
As reported by The New York Post, the police are actively investigating how the girl’s remains ended up in the vehicle in the Hollywood Hills just a day after her birthday earlier this month. The artist, whose real name is David Burke, has not been named a suspect, but the investigation has directly impacted his career.
