Rising Star D4vd Under Fire: Teen Death Investigation Sparks Tour Cancellation and Album Delay
The music world is reeling from shocking revelations surrounding emerging pop artist D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke, 20) and the death of a minor.
According to recent reports from US media outlets, D4vd and his manager have abruptly terminated their lease agreement for a luxury rental property in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles. This residence became the focus of an LAPD investigation on September 17th, with authorities reportedly seizing evidence including laptops.
The case came to light on September 8th when the severely decomposed body of 14-year-old Celeste Ri-bas was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered under D4vd's name. Ri-bas had been missing since May of last year after running away from home, and some acquaintances have claimed she was involved in an inappropriate relationship with D4vd.
The homeowner expressed profound shock and disbelief, stating that the manager had requested to end the lease, citing the difficulty of residing there any longer. Ri-bas's brother corroborated this, testifying that his sister never returned home after going out with D4vd to see a movie last May. Photos purportedly showing Ri-bas with D4vd have circulated on social media, intensifying scrutiny as authorities verify the evidence.
In response to the unfolding situation, D4vd has canceled his ongoing world tour, and his record label, Interscope Records, has indefinitely postponed his upcoming album release. The LAPD stated that items seized from the property are currently under analysis as they pursue multiple leads.
D4vd's representatives have remained silent publicly, reportedly retaining a prominent Hollywood lawyer and cooperating with the investigation. Meanwhile, a candlelight vigil has been held at Ri-bas's family home, with community members calling for a thorough investigation into the death of the bright and cheerful young girl.
D4vd, born in 2003, is a prodigious talent who burst onto the music scene with his unique blend of alternative R&B and emo rap. His breakout hit 'Romantic Homicide' garnered widespread attention for its raw emotion and distinctive sound. The young artist has quickly amassed a global fanbase drawn to his introspective lyrics and atmospheric production.
