Tragic Mystery: The Disturbing Tale of Celeste Rivas

SCANDAL ROCKS MUSIC INDUSTRY: Teenager's Body Found in Rapper D4vd's Tesla, Sources Claim They Were Involved

In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, rapper D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) is at the center of an underage sex scandal that has left fans reeling. The 20-year-old platinum-selling artist, known for his dark imagery and themes in his music, allegedly had a relationship with 13-year-old Celeste Rivas before her body was found decomposing in the trunk of his Tesla.

A Tragic Discovery

On September 8, authorities discovered the remains of Celeste Rivas in the front trunk of D4vd's impounded Tesla Model Y. The vehicle had been abandoned on Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills for several days. Police raided D4vd's $20,000-a-month rental property and were seen hauling evidence bags into an SUV. However, they declined to confirm if the search was related to Rivas or Burke.

A History of Runaways

Celeste Rivas, from Lake Elsinore, had run away a few times in the past and last spoke to her family by phone in May 2024. Sources close to the girl described her as "bubbly and friendly" but also revealed that she had been skipping classes at Lakeland Middle School before her disappearance.

A Troubling Relationship

Two sources claimed Rivas was in a relationship with Burke before she vanished. One source alleged their illicit relations were an open secret among her inner circle at school. Rivas' brother, Matthew Rivas, confirmed the family was aware of the alleged relationship and stated that his sister had gone to see a movie with Burke on May 2024, but never returned.

A Trail of Disturbing Evidence

Since Rivas' identity was confirmed, a trail of disturbing evidence has emerged online. Photos posted on social media appear to show D4vd interacting with teenagers in Lake Elsinore, less than half a mile from Rivas' family home. One image shows D4vd huddled next to a girl who bears a strong resemblance to Rivas.

A Dark Obsession

The lyrics of D4vd's song "Celeste_Demo unfin" seem to reveal a dark obsession with Rivas. The song, allegedly recorded in December 2023, explicitly references a girl called Celeste and contains disturbing lyrics such as:

"Oh, Celeste / The girl with my name tattooed on her chest / Smell her on my clothes like cigarettes / I hear her voice each time I take a breath / I'm obsessed"

A Troubling History

D4vd has been open about referencing dark imagery in his music. His official store sells "Custom ITAMI Bloody Shirts" - white shirts streaked with red stains. He also channels themes of pain, obsession, and heartbreak through his alter-ego character, Itami.

Investigation Continues

The LAPD is investigating Rivas' movements before her body was found and is looking into photos posted online to determine if there's any connection between Rivas and D4vd. No charges have been filed against Burke, but the investigation continues.

A Grieving Family

A GoFundMe has been set up for Rivas' family, who are heartbroken by this tragic loss. The fundraiser's organizer shared a statement on behalf of the girl's loved ones: "As many of you know, Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been identified as the body found last week. She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. Her family is seeking help to lay her body to rest."

Brands Distance Themselves

In light of this developing story, brands such as Crocs and Hollister have removed D4vd from their 'Dream Drop' marketing campaigns.

The singer's collaboration with Kali Uchis has also been taken down from streaming platforms. A joint statement from the companies read: "We are aware of this developing story. With respect to the current situation, we have removed campaign content featuring D4vd while the investigation continues."

D4vd's Response

As of now, D4vd has not issued a public comment about the discovery in his Tesla or posted about it on his Instagram account, which boasts 2 million followers.

The 20-year-old platinum-selling artist was out of state on tour when Rivas' body was found. He continued to perform scheduled tour dates up until Wednesday, when Rivas' identity was confirmed. Shortly after, he announced a show in Seattle would be canceled.

This scandal has left the music industry reeling and raises questions about D4vd's relationship with his young fans. The investigation continues, but one thing is clear: this tragic story will have far-reaching consequences for everyone involved.
