D4vd
Petition Pushes Platforms to Cease Streaming Alleged Assassin’s Music
Printed
Spotify and Apple Music are below rising strain to yank D4vd‘s music off their platforms utterly after he was just lately charged with sexually abusing and murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas simply over a 12 months in the past.
The advocacy group Business Blackout launched a Change.org petition calling on Spotify, Apple and different streaming companies to axe all his music from their catalogs, writing … “When an artist has been charged with the sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. It is not a neutral one.”
The petition has below 1,000 signatures up to now, however it comes as artists have distanced themselves from the singer, whose actual identify is David Anthony Burke. Rolling Stone reviews his former collaborators Kali Uchis, Holly Humberstone, Laufey and Damiano David have all reduce their collaborations from streaming platforms with the assistance of UMG.
D4vd was signed to Darkroom Data below the Interscope/UMG umbrella, however as we reported, he was quietly dropped from the label final 12 months — months earlier than he was ever charged.
Moreover, YouTube has demonetized his YouTube account in accordance with their Creator Duty coverage, with a spokesperson telling Rolling Stone the choice adopted “off-platform behavior that is harmful to YouTube’s Community.”
As of Saturday, D4vd’s music remains to be out there on streaming platforms. We have reached out to 2 of the largest gamers — Apple and Spotify — up to now, no phrase again.
As you realize, D4vd was arrested final week for Celeste’s homicide, and charged Monday with first-degree homicide, steady sexual abuse of a kid below the age of 14, and illegal mutilation of human stays.
He pleaded not responsible and is being jailed with out bail, and is going through life in jail and even the loss of life penalty.
Nathan J. Hochman, the Los Angeles County district lawyer, stated D4vd slaughtered Celeste — who he’s thought to have been in a relationship with — on April 23, 2025 and mutilated her a pair weeks later.
As you realize, her stays have been present in a Tesla linked to his identify in September 2025.
