Epic Games has moved to calm a growing Fortnite backlash by confirming refunds for d4vd cosmetics after the singer was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The controversy erupted after players began calling for D4vd‑related Fortnite items to be removed from their lockers. According to Vice reporting, Epic Games is refunding d4vd cosmetic items, including the 'Feel It' emote and Jam Tracks, following online reports and community pressure. The company's response comes days after it was revealed that David Burke, the 21-year-old musician known professionally as d4vd, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges connected to Celeste's death. Prosecutors allege her remains were found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him, while his attorney has said the evidence will show he did not kill her.
