D4vd Earns Biggest Streams Yet Amid Celeste Rivas Homicid…

D4vd’s music continues to rise on the charts as an investigation behind the murder of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas continues.

Despite the controversy, the 20-year-old singer’s 2023 album Petals to Thorns has reentered the Billboard 200 chart, driven by interest in his track “Romantic Homicide.”

According to microblog Chart Data, the artist (born David Anthony Burke) had his biggest day ever on Spotify on Monday (Sept. 22) with over 12 million streams more than three years after the song’s original release. TMZ reports that his streams have spiked by over 60%.

The singer recently canceled his remaining U.S., UK, and European tour dates amid the Los Angeles Police Department’s investigation. Authorities are still awaiting toxicology and forensic results after Rivas’ remains were found in a Tesla owned by D4vd.

A representative from the LAPD confirmed to Complex that investigators were “following up on several leads.” However, police have not identified anyone as a suspect or person of interest. As of this writing, D4vd has not been charged with any crimes.

On Sunday (Sept. 21), a candlelight vigil was held for Rivas in her hometown of Lake Elsinore, California.

Last week, the LAPD searched a rental home allegedly tied to the singer and reportedly seized items such as a computer and several evidence bags.

The investigation began earlier this month when a “severely decomposed,” dismembered body was discovered in the front trunk of D4vd’s Tesla, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and eventually towed to an impound lot.

The remains were later identified as Rivas, whose mother said she had a boyfriend named David and had been missing for over a year. TMZ previously reported that both Rivas and D4vd have the same “Shhh….” tattoo on their right index finger.

Authorities were also said to be investigating who last drove the car and seeking surveillance footage of the main road where it was parked.
