Dear feature tourists: do not shit up this thread. Also, NIGGER. There, I said it for you.
I wasn't sure where to put this, but d4vd got his start as a Fortnite streamer making original songs for his gameplay edits to avoid copyright strikes AND he's best friends with Faze clan's JasonTheWeen, Pokimane and Ludwig, so I'll put this here.
d4vd, aka David Anthony Burke (born March 28, 2005) is a Twitch streamer/Alternative R&B musician from Queens NY. As mentioned before, he got his start in music trying to evade Twitch's copyright system, and has been making his way up the ladder in the music world since 2021.
However, disaster struck on September 8th, 2025 mid-tour, when it was revealed that a
decomposing body was found in the "frunk" (front trunk) of d4vd's impounded Tesla.
The body was "
heavily decomposed, dismembered into several pieces and wrapped inside a plastic bag in the car's front trunk", after which, the body was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for at least a FULL MONTH, in peak Los Angeles heat (ranging from 85 to 110 degrees).
Despite this, d4vd kept touring, and his best friends, JasonTheWeen and Ludwig came out in his defense, making jokes at anyone worried that he actually killed someone.
The common narrative that d4vd's fans and friends higher up in the Twitch chain of command was is that d4vd's car probably got stolen by someone who planted the dead body in his trunk. Which, to be honest, isn't too far fetched for Los Angeles.
That is, until yesterday, where it was revealed that the decomposing body belonged to a
15 year old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez from Lake Elsinore, California.
She's been missing since last April, when she was 13 years old, and found dead around the time of her 15th birthday. She likely died at age 14. She was 120lbs when she was missing, her corpse was 70lbs.
D4vd had been grooming this girl since she was 11 years old and he was 16/17 in 2021.
She was positively ID'ed because she had a matching "Shhh" finger tattoo on the same finger as d4vd.
After the body was ID'ed as Celeste, a torrential flood of information began to pour out.
A week prior to the body being identified as Celeste, two reddit users in the Lake Elsinore area suspected that the body was Celeste, initially their posts were downvoted into oblivion but after the body was identified, they got tons of support:
This guy posted a follow up yesterday when the news broke:
Seems the poor girl came from a neglectful/broken household and lived a laissez faire lifestyle as young as 11 years old.
Celeste's mother confirmed to TMZ that her daughter had been dating a man named "David".
She posted about him openly on her (private?) instagram, and d4vd posted her on his Close Friends list stories:
This is a recording of Celeste's private instagram account, featuring D4vd in all of her saved stories:
From the looks of it, D4vd would use a variety of tactics to manipulate her, including financial manipulation, remember, in this post, this girl is 13 years old:
He sent her "gifts" of $9000 to keep her in line. He also lovebombed her by doing shit like printing out a shirt with her picture wrapped around text reading "I Heart My Girlfriend"
The story gets even crazier when you consider the fact that this was basically an open secret in the Lake Elsinore community for four full fucking years.:
Here's a picture (from a video) of d4vd paying off a bunch of Celeste's friends to not expose him for dating a minor:
d4vd's entire discord knew that he was dating this girl the WHOLE TIME.
His pedophilia has been a running joke in his community for YEARS.
D4vd and Celeste likely met on Discord.
D4vd's relationship and obsession with Celeste puts d4vd's
entire musical career into question. D4vd had been grooming Celeste since she was 11 (and he was 16/17).
He uploaded his biggest hit song, "Romantic Homicide" on September 7th, 2022
(Celeste's 12th birthday).
In this song, he sings about killing a girl who broke up with him, and how she first died "in the back of his mind" before he killed her, and how afterwards he "didn't cry, not a single tear", as explained by this RapGenius video:
He very intentionally chose an actress and styled her in a way that would look identical to Celeste.
Compare with Celeste herself:
Another song, "Here with me" featured another Celeste look-a-like:
D4vd's song One Last Dance is
basically a fucking play-by-play of D4vd's future crime.
Three or so months after he kidnapped her, D4vd released this video "There goes my Baby", which he claims is about "his ex":
The character on the swingset is clearly a representation of Celeste.
In most, if not all of his music videos, the girl is always a female latino with long curly hair.
Another song called "Decide", released when Celeste was 11, features these lyrics:
And this is just about the most disgusting thing I've heard in a long time:
In 2023, when Celeste was 12 years old and Dv4d was 18, at the height of his grooming of her, D4vd wrote and STUDIO RECORDED this """love""" ballad about her and released it quietly on Soundcloud:
I don't even know where to begin with this.
In this song, D4vd reveals that he tattooed his name on her chest,
expresses his worry that she's only in a relationship with him because of how good he is at sex ("Afraid you'll only love me when undressed", what a thing to brag about you fucking freak), and talks about how they're so intimate so frequently that he has her smell on him at all times ("like cigarettes").
Then it ends off with him repeating "I love you" over and over. This is only made more disgusting by the fact that, from leaked text messages, D4vd was in fact molesting Celeste as young as 12/13, and
raped her so hard that she BLED.
This is a friend of hers checking in on her during a likely brief moment where she broke out of D4vd's manipulation and control at age 13.
She also mentions the name "Gus" as another sexual partner.
"Gus" is possibly Gustavo Osorio, one of D4vd's irl close friends.
Gus is apparently one of D4vd's friends/inner circle irl, and was active on his discord server, unfortunately, they have shut off invites and closed down the server, so I can't get in with an alt.
Unfortunately, he manipulated her back into his control by breaking down in tears performatively.
This exchange happened 2 weeks after she went missing last year.
Remember how the missing poster mentions that Celeste was last seen wearing Hello Kitty sandals? When D4vd became famous, he also seemed to have developed an odd fixation on Hello Kitty, to the point where he made it his profile picture on every one of his social media accounts.
Lo an behold, he was likely using his Hello Kitty collection to groom Celeste in the early stages of their "relationship"
She's wearing the same Hello Kitty shoes that she was reported missing in.
And unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Celeste was D4vd's only victim.
16 and 18 isn't as objectionable, but when you take into account that D4vd was willing to groom a 12 year old girl, this only adds on to how much of a degenerate he is.
D4vd threatened to sue his former friend Lamp for taking a picture of him and Celeste without permission:
He streamed with her in early 2024 (age 13) and asked his mods to delete the VOD and all other VODs featuring her:
Despite how much he liked to waggle Celeste around in public as an open secret, he WAS deathly afraid of the truth getting out.
So where are we now? D4vd played 5 more shows until yesterday, he cancelled the rest of his world tour (ironically, the next stop would've been in California, which would have him directly in the jurisdiction of the Californian police), the feds raided a house that he used to throw a 4th of July party with his Twitch friends, and a few of his former friends have come out against him:
Fellow Musicians Quadeca and Kali Uchis disavowing and distancing themselves from him, Kali Uchis getting their collaboration song taken down:
Pokimane, who was featured in the music video for D4vd's song "What are you Waiting for?"
All in all, this is one of the most depressing stories to come out of Twitch in a long time.
This girl was a CHILD, barely even pubescent, and she had her life stolen from her at 11, and fully taken away just before she even got to turn 15.
All by this pretentious artsy sadboy faggot, aided by an audience and friend group of willing enablers.
I hope the cops wisen the fuck up and arrest this piece of shit before he has time to kill himself and avoid the consequences of an investigation.
At "best", D4vd is a child raping pedophile. At worst, this fucking freak groomed a girl, raped her, manipulated her with gifts, money, and clout, kidnapped her from her family, and murdered her right before he started on his world tour, where he would sing a discography written almost entirely about his obsession with her to an audience of millions of unknowing, adoring fans.
Editing to add:
I forgot to mention D4vd's outspoken love of gore. Particularly liveleaks and "artistic" gore. He even outright stated that he preferred videos of gore to porn.
I also feel like I may have understated just how frequent and brazen the hints that he murdered her (and had a desire to do so for years) are.
There was a particularly egregious example of D4vd expressing his desire to kill this girl:
In another music video released ON THIS GIRL'S 13TH BIRTHDAY, an anime version of her is murdered, stabbed through the abdomen by one of two of D4vd's anime self inserts.
First she appears as a sexualized shadow
He refers to himself as the Devil.
She blows a kiss to the camera, he laments that she left him.
They reconcile, she's depicted as a temptress using D4vd as an attack dog until D4vd's good half slices her arm off and stabs her in the stomach:
Celeste's body, dismembered. Just like in real life.
The video ends with D4vd's edgy evil anime OC self insert fighting his Good Pure anime OC self insert, and ultimately her murder is treated as his way of "healing"
During his current (and likely final) tour, D4vd has made a show of staging mock funerals, complete with Hearse cars, pallbearers, funeral wreaths, a massive casket and a notepad for people to send messages to the deceased with.
He did everything just short of outright yelling "I KILLED CELESTE RIVAS HERNANDEZ" on stage.
This has lead some to believe that this entire tour, the hints in his songs and the album being named "Withered" was all just a ploy to intentionally get caught whilst spinning up some gay, narcissistic "tortured poet" or "forbidden love" type of backstory to "immortalize" himself with.
