Recent attention has turned towards rapper D4vd following the discovery of a 15-year-old girl, later identified as Celeste Hernandez, found dismembered in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla. This tragic event has cast a spotlight on a resurfaced video that has left many disturbed.
In the unsettling 30-second Twitch clip, D4vd, famously known for his track “Romantic Homicide,” is seen wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with “I Heart Hot Moms.” The video, which appears to be undated, shows him engaging in a casual conversation with Celeste while they are seated together in a kitchen setting.
During the exchange, D4vd makes a remark about having “media trained” Celeste, hinting at something controversial. In response, Celeste, dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and oversized glasses, quips back with a comment referencing “raping kids.” The remark is followed by her immediate laughter, highlighting the dark and inappropriate nature of the joke.
Realizing the gravity of her words, Celeste quickly covers her mouth, seemingly taken aback by her own statement. D4vd, meanwhile, reacts swiftly by muting the live stream. He then urges his audience to “delete everything,” attempting to erase the unsettling interaction as Celeste sits beside him, her lips pursed.
She quickly covers her own mouth — apparently shocking herself with the comment — while D4vd moves to mute the live stream before ending it altogether with a command to his fans.
“Delete everything! Delete everything!,” he tells the Twitch chat as Celeste purses her lips.
The pair laugh and say “ok bye” as the stream is turned off — but not before the chat participants made a slew of comments about the apparent statutory-rape joke.
“David Epstein flight list?” one chatter wrote.
“David and Celeste Island Trip???” another wrote.
Others commented “oh no,” “CANCELLED,” and “END STREAM.”
The exchange between the Queens-born musician, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, and the girl identified by commenters as “Celeste” casts even more troubling light on the possible relationship between the two.
The 20-year-old singer canceled his world tour and vanished from public view — eschewing all social media — after Hernandez’ dismembered and decomposing body was found Sept. 8 in his abandoned Tesla.
It is unclear when the pair met. Celeste was reported missing by her family at least three times in 2024, the LA Times reported, citing the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
The Los Angeles Police Department — which raided the rapper’s Hollywood Hills home Sept. 17 — has not announced Hernandez’ cause of death, nor has it named D4vd as a suspect in any crime.
The Twitch stream was posted Sept. 18 on social media.
The rapper no longer lives at the Los Angeles pad, but owner Mladen Trifunovic recently hired a private investigator to comb over the $20,000-a-month home for evidence of a crime.
D4vd’s musical catalogue is rife with references to murder, love, and even transporting bodies.
Just eight months ago, the singer released a music video for the track “One More Dance,” in which he is covered in blood and dragging a body into the trunk of a car with the help of two others.
In a 2023 song, D4vd raps, “Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest, smell her on my clothes like cigarettes.”
In the video for the song “Romantic Homicide,” the singer is blindfolded and drenched in blood as he stands over a woman in a wedding dress lying on a bed with a wound in her stomach.
A blade is shown being thrust into the darkness as a blood-soaked white rose falls to the floor.
Earlier this month, D4vd hired high-powered attorney Blair Berk, who previously represented Hollywood stars like Lindsey Lohan, Kanye West, Mel Gibson, and Harvey Weinstein. Berk did not immediately returned a message seeking comment.
The rapper also transferred the deeds to two Houston, Texas, homes to his mother following a swatting incident at one of the properties occupied by D4vd’s mother, father, and two siblings.
Celeste Hernandez was buried at Queen of Heaven Cemetery and Mortuary in Rowland Heights, Calif., on Oct. 6.
