A former friend of singer has branded him a 'psychopath' and accused him of betrayal, as she publicly distances herself from the murder case unfolding in Los Angeles over the discovery of a woman's body in the front trunk of his Tesla.
The backlash around D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, has been building since September 2025, when the decomposed body of 21-year-old Celeste Rivas was found in an impounded Tesla registered to the rising alt-pop star. Prosecutors say he killed Rivas to protect his music career. Burke was arrested by the LAPD on 16 April on suspicion of murder and is being held without bail while he awaits a repeatedly delayed preliminary hearing.
