TikTok Star Rapper D4vd Embroiled in Controversy After Teen Girl's Body Found in His Car; Tour Cancelled
The U.S. music scene is reeling from the shocking discovery of a teenage girl's body inside the car of rising TikTok star and rapper D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke, 20).
According to media reports, the severely decomposed and mutilated body of 13-year-old Celeste Reyes Hernandez, who had been missing, was found inside D4vd's Tesla. The vehicle was abandoned near a luxury residential area in the Hollywood Hills.
Celeste's family claims she was dating a person named 'David,' and neighbors have corroborated seeing the two together frequently. There are also unconfirmed reports of them sharing matching tattoos.
D4vd was in the midst of his U.S. world tour when the incident occurred. Following the discovery, his remaining European and Australian tour dates were abruptly cancelled. Furthermore, the rapper has been dropped from global brand campaigns, severely impacting his public image.
Police have searched a mansion rented by D4vd, seizing electronic devices and other items, but have not yet named any suspects. Former legal professionals suggest an arrest is likely imminent given the circumstances of the body's discovery.
Lyrics from D4vd's hit song 'Romantic Homicide' have come under renewed scrutiny, with fans drawing eerie parallels to the current situation. Online speculation has also focused on his stage performances and an unreleased track titled 'Celeste Demo unfin.' The investigation remains ongoing.
Born in 2003, D4vd debuted in 2022 and quickly gained fame through the viral success of his song 'Romantic Homicide' on TikTok. He is known for his unique blend of hip-hop and alternative R&B influences. His rapid rise to stardom has been marked by a distinct artistic style and a dedicated online following.
