Fake Track Appears on D4vd's Apple Music Amid Murder Case and Account HackPreviousNext

Singer D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, remains in custody during preliminary hearings for the 2025 murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in Los Angeles. A fake track titled 'I Did It' appeared on his Apple Music account, referencing the victim and suggesting a confession. Reports confirmed the account was hacked, as Burke has no access to upload music while jailed. The song went viral, causing confusion amid ongoing court proceedings that include evidence such as victim's pregnancy messages and autopsy details.
