The scrutiny on D4vd’s alleged connection to 15-year-old Celeste Rivas continues as new photos and videos continue to surface online.
A newly surfaced photo allegedly shows the two sitting closely in a booth at an unidentified venue, both dressed in black, with Celeste gazing at the 20-year-old singer.
TMZ points out that D4vd is wearing the same shirt in this image as he was in a photo with Billie Eilish from October 2023, although a timeline connection remains inconclusive.
Another video, reportedly from January 2024, shows the two on a live stream together while interacting with fans. In another moment from the same stream, the teenager is heard saying, “We need to delete this.”
D4vd agrees as he looks into the camera and says, “Mods, can we delete all VODs (video-on-demand)? And then as soon as the stream ends, delete the stream too?”
Rivas’ body was found decomposed and dismembered in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla last week. Authorities executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence where the singer (born David Anthony Burke) had been staying. A computer and several bags of evidence were seized.
The remains found in the Tesla were eventually identified as Rivas, whose mother told TMZ she had a boyfriend named David and had been missing for over a year.
TMZ previously reported that the 20-year-old singer has a tattoo on his right index finger that reads “Shhh…,” the same tattoo found on Rivas. He did not appear to have the tattoo until Sept. 2024 based on photos reviewed from earlier in the year by the outlet.
D4vd had been touring in support of his album Withered at the time Rivas’ body was discovered. He was scheduled to perform on Sept. 16 in Seattle, but the show was canceled just hours after Rivas’ body was identified.
Following the show’s cancellation, a song titled “Celeste” surfaced online with lyrics like “I wanna make you suicidal” and “Oh, Celeste / Afraid you’ll only love me when undressed.” It’s unclear and unconfirmed that the track has any connection to D4vd.
Recent resurfaced videos from concerts held in July and August, particularly from a show on July 30 at The Warfield in San Francisco, show what appears to be a prop casket and a mock memorial used as part of D4vd’s stage performance.
Alleged photos of the singer in the area where Rivas once lived were also shared online. As examined by TMZ, the man in the photos appeared in Lake Elsinore, California, which is .3 miles, or a roughly six-minute walk, from the home where Rivas was living with her family before her disappearance in April 2024.
Singer Kali Uchis, who collaborated with D4vd on the song “Crashing,” said the track is “in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news.”
As of this writing, authorities have not named D4vd as a suspect in the case.
