Interscope Halts Promotions for D4vd Amid LAPD Probe into Teen’s Death

Interscope Records has paused all promotional activities for artist D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) as the Los Angeles Police Department investigates his potential connection to the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Sources confirm the label’s parent company, Universal Music Group (UMG), alongside Sony Music Publishing and talent agency Wasserman, halted campaigns following the discovery of Rivas’ remains in a Tesla registered to the singer earlier this month.

Rivas, reported missing in May 2024, was found deceased in the impounded vehicle in Hollywood, California. While D4vd has not been formally charged, authorities executed a search warrant at his home Wednesday, seizing electronics and potential evidence. A leaked photo from 2023 shows the artist with a then-13-year-old Rivas in a cozy setting, both appearing close. Notably, the image was shared on September 7—Rivas’ birthday—days before her body was identified.

Social Media and Lyrical Clues Under Scrutiny

Online sleuths have unearthed troubling connections. A TikTok video reposted by D4vd in 2023, depicting a man slicing lunchmeat with the caption “how to deal with a girl who’s talking to other people,” sparked outrage. Users linked the clip to Rivas’ dismemberment, flooding comments with calls for justice. The original creator clarified the video was a satire unrelated to the case.

Further scrutiny surrounds D4vd’s 2022 hit Romantic Homicide, featuring a model resembling Rivas, and an unreleased demo track titled Celeste_Demo unfin. Lyrics describe a girl with “my name tattooed on her chest” and allude to obsession, though it’s unclear if referencing Rivas.

Industry Fallout and Ongoing Investigation

D4vd, a TikTok breakout signed by Interscope in 2022, released his debut album Withered in April 2024. However, promotions ceased abruptly as the probe intensified. His last social media post coincided with Rivas’ birthday, deepening public suspicion.

Fans and critics alike speculate about a potential true-crime narrative, with comments like “We’re all gonna be on Netflix soon” flooding forums. Meanwhile, representatives for UMG and D4vd have not commented publicly.

As authorities analyze evidence, including the Tesla and digital devices, the case remains fluid. The music industry watches closely, balancing legal prudence with growing public demand for accountability.
