The ongoing death investigation surrounding singer D4vd and the body of teenage girl Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found dismembered in his abandoned Tesla, has revealed a series of calculated and chilling actions allegedly taken by the artist to conceal his connection to the young victim. New evidence, from physical objects left outside his home to his own words and digital history, points toward a deeply troubling and potentially predatory relationship that the singer desperately tried to erase.

One of the most damning pieces of evidence is a resurfaced clip from an Instagram Live stream in January 2024, allegedly featuring D4vd and Celeste Rivas. During the stream, D4vd is seen speaking to the camera before abruptly telling his moderators to “delete all Vods and then as soon as the stream ends delete the stream too.” This order to wipe the public record of their interaction occurred just months before Celeste went missing.

Further compounding the digital evidence, leaked Discord messages from D4vd’s fan server reportedly expose the beginning of their relationship. The messages suggest that D4vd, then 17, was dating Celeste when she was 12. Her last message in the server was three months before she was reported missing in 2024. These online communities reveal a pattern, with former collaborators claiming D4vd’s legal team had contacted them in the past to remove information about his alleged inappropriate relationships with other underage girls.

The singer’s own artistic and public statements are now being re-examined with a horrifying new context:

The “Alter Ego” Confession: D4vd previously described a manga idea for an “alter ego” who was an agent of chaos. He explained the story went like this: “I was a detective and there was an evil version of myself that would kind of come out at random moments… and he would commit the crimes that I would have to solve as the detective.” This statement, which he offered up without prompting, is now seen by critics as a macabre, self-incriminating admission.
The Retirement Countdown: A previous interview clip where D4vd outlined his career plan is also under scrutiny. He stated he planned to work “crazy year after year for the next 3 years” and then on the fourth year, he would “retire and on the fifth year I’m off the grid living somewhere like on an island.” Fans noted that four years from the time of the statement would be the same year Celeste would turn 18, leading to speculation that his retirement was a calculated countdown tied to her age.

The physical evidence has also mounted against him. A Tesla key card for the exact type and color of the car where Celeste’s body was found was reportedly discovered by a Redditor in a gutter right outside the garage of the Hollywood home D4vd was occupying. This discovery was later confirmed by police investigators. A video has also surfaced allegedly showing Celeste backstage at one of D4vd’s concerts, wearing the distinct Hello Kitty sandals noted in her missing person’s poster, placing her in his immediate vicinity much later than previously known.

While authorities work to gain access to surveillance footage from the home and the Tesla’s extensive camera recording system, D4vd’s public actions remain defiant. Since the body was found and the investigation launched, the singer has reportedly been “lurking and literally playing Fortnite,” with fans tracking his active gaming account. Furthermore, all of his US tour dates have been canceled, but not before a public outcry forced his hand. The totality of the evidence—from the deletion orders and the Discord messages to the sinister “alter ego” confession—paints the picture of a young man who allegedly used his rising fame to groom an underage girl, then tried to bury the evidence of their relationship and the eventual crime.
