Popular Gen Z Singer/Rapper "D4vd", suspected of kidnapping and dismembering middle school girl

"Popular" ??

Well, DAMN!

That’s a LOT of

Will read after work.

R1 Yeah, with young people - with the younger gen z/gen alpha, it's all about soundcloud and spotify. His album debuted at No 13 and he has 33 million streams a month. Fortnite is INSANELY popular, it's as big with kids as anything has ever been.

He was also promoting Crocs and Hollister, who just dropped him of course.

We'll see if he's popular in prison. He's going away for a long time.

Tesla = Total Trash

Reddit sleuths think one of his songs suggests that he had been with her since she was 11 years old. Here's the article about him bribing her friends, they don't mention that part, but when this photo came out that's what the people who leaked it were saying. If you go to the subreddit /r/d4vd, there are many pictures of him with the girl. He really wasn't careful whatsoever.

You don't come back from a dead teenage girl in your frunk.

Copied from indiatimes -

'Adding to the complexity, Celeste’s alleged brother publicly revealed alleged details of her relationship with D4vd and claimed warnings to law enforcement about potential danger were not heeded. Reports indicate that Celeste was very young when interacting with D4vd, with evidence of an alleged romantic relationship starting when she was only 11 years old. Screenshots and private messages from Discord and other social media platforms between 2022 and 2024 indicate a relationship between Celeste and D4vd, with Celeste being identified as his girlfriend in some chats. Some messages allegedly describe sexual encounters and suggest grooming when she was a minor. Photographs and videos circulating on social media allegedly show Celeste and D4vd together in casual settings, and evidence places D4vd near Celeste’s home in Lake Elsinore shortly before her disappearance.'

'

This thing has been all over the local news here in LA for at least a week now.

I cringe every time I see the obnoxious “D4vd” nonsense on the screen.

He must be as stupid as he is sick in the head. Did he really think her slowly rotting dead body in his car would go unnoticed and unfound?

Last week after they found the body, he still performed, but now that they have an ID, he's canceling shows. That's suspicious, huh?

Michael Alig is proud.

Fuck off with that AI India Times bullshit.

He even hired actresses that look like her for his music videos. The in-jokes and references in his songs seem like a form of brainwashing to me - she must have felt so special that it was all about her.

Who raised this animal?

Incredibly he has not yet been taken into custody nor even charged with a crime.

Just pointing out that a 9-11 year old child isn't sleeping with any adults, they're being raped.

[quoteShe's been missing for two years since she was 13.

So she's 15 now?

No thnx.

R18 you’re right, i shouldn’t have phrased it that way

She looks so sad in all of her pictures.

Allegedly, his sister was pimping her out, too.

I really like(d) his music. This story is one of the most depraved I’ve heard in awhile. I work with girls this age. This makes me feel nauseous.

Age, condition, time - Everything is hideous.

r20,definitely wasn't chastising! I think we repeat what we hear /read without thinking about it.

How lovely that the brother took this to the cops and they did nothing. Police protecting a pedophile. That poor girl.

Some other stuff I saw - several people in his discord referenced "the missing girl", last year. And Celeste was also a member of the discord, and it seems like she was telling people she was 18 but some people knew about the real situation and would sometimes tease D4vd about it. Someone else also mentioned how he owes a lot of money to some people in Lake Elsinore, well before the body was found. He also has a tiktok post with the caption "Me watching her scream after I poured boiling water on her after she told a boy happy birthday bc why you happy he made it another year". All these lyrics are about really toxic bpd relationship dynamics, mental abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, it's crazy that this is considered "kid friendly". One YouTuber I watched kept saying how shocked he was because D4vd has such a family friendly vibe. Is culture so degenerate at this point that you're radio disney unless you directly reference murdering people in your songs? I would be very concerned if this is the sort of thing my very young daughters were listening to. Rappers get a pass when it comes to misogyny and violence against women like no other.

Thank fucking God she is Hispanic because white people are on the verge of rioting. I'm not exaggerating. Her poor parents

He was bringing a casket on stage, really fucking weird.

What a horrible story.

So many questions.

Is he in the United States now?

Was his car reported stolen?

Did Celeste die while he was on tour?

How is he in not in jail?

At the very least they should hold him for statutory rape, right?

R29 Yeah, he just canceled his tour a day or two ago. The LAPD searched his house today. They took his computers and everything. Some other kids on reddit hacked him apparently and think he may even be connected to another missing kid. I'd take that with a big grain of salt, but he was definitely messaging and grooming many different minors.

It seems like Celeste could have been killed quite a while ago, I read that August (can't remember if this or last year) was the last time he had any posts or pictures with her. He started bringing a casket on tour and apparently there's some kind of visual intro that involves a funeral. The creepiest thing is the lyrics, many of his songs going back years are clearly full of messages for this girl, it's part of his grooming strategy. Former fans are now speculating that this was all a plan to have some kind of sick public suicide. The car wasn't reported stolen, or at least that has never been mentioned. It was impounded because it was stranded, it was left a short distance away from his manager's house.

Some random lyrics that have been highlighted since this came out - "The right love, in the wrong time frame" "Oh celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest, I'm obsessed" "I love you the most, but we both know what I have to do. Why can't I hear your heartbeat? Just a dream. He might have you, but I've got your ghost." "What's the issue with you being with me? Don't run away. I've got a place that you can stay." "We can worry about the consequences later, right now you're coming home with me."

Investigators are probably waiting for a minute to see if he'll do anything incredibly stupid that further incriminates himself or others.

[Quote] Is he in the United States now?

No, and I doubt he'll return under his own volition

[Quote] Was his car reported stolen?

Probably not

[Quote] Did Celeste die while he was on tour?

No, he dismembered her before he left to tour

There's another song called "decide" he released when she was 11, when they were reported to have met and started talking. The lyrics are all about pressuring a girl to make a choice to be together, and references waiting seven years.

[Quote] The lyrics are all about pressuring a girl to make a choice to be together, and references waiting seven years.

Is that why he took her apart?

R32 Jesus Christ--11?! How old was he at the time?

R34 I guess he would have been 17 or 18. He's 20 now. That nasty vulture Banfield is all over the case, she had the guy from TMZ on just a bit ago.

Some of the posts on this thread are almost gleeful his stupid lyrics reference frau friendly crimes like pedophilia and murder. This is terrible but doesn't need all this publicity.

Another mystery to solve…

What drugs are Harvey & his boyfriend on?

Not a good look on television or on any streaming platform. It’s.quite obvious, & it looks REALLY bad.

Hope they get help. Seriously.

R36 A fairly famous rapper (at least amongst the zoomers) kept a literal child as a sex slave for years, then dismembered her and left her body in the trunk of his car, all the while writing openly about his crimes in his lyrics--if this story doesn't "deserve" publicity, what does?

So now the story is that it was her own sister who was allegedly pimping her out.

I think the sister wasn’t doing this in the traditional sense of the word, however, was probably extorting the suspect in this story.

Looks like her mom was a mess, & the girl/child, had a history of running away from home, allegedly.

What a sad, tragic story.

[quote]Some of the posts on this thread are almost gleeful his stupid lyrics reference frau friendly crimes like pedophilia and murder.

Nobody here is "gleeful" about this grim story. People are shocked that he'd incriminate himself with his own lyrics.

Sing about doing drugs, sure. Sing about noncing and (allegedly) murder? Not too bright.

Who’s listening to this asshole? Seems like total trash.

Certain demographics lack impulse control.

How do you even say his name D4vd? Like C3po and R2d2?

Those TMZ ghouls are looking rough. Sunken and grey with twitchy jaws.

Do people on meth really think nobody can see it?

I heard the song Romantic Homicide three years ago and loved it because it was unique and powerful. Those were very dark lyrics for a 17 year old to write.. Knowing what I know now (and it was written about an 11 year old), I don’t ever want to hear that song again. This guy needs to kill himself.

He only listened to gospel music until he was 14 and was homeschooled in a religious fashion

[quote] No, and I doubt he'll return under his own volition

He’s in LA and right now still cooperating with cops.

Sure, Jan. He’s kicking back at the Hollywood station of LAPD spit ballin’ theories with detectives. The LASD and Riverside County SD are along side to chit chat.

[quote] Those TMZ ghouls are looking rough. Sunken and grey with twitchy jaws. Do people on meth really think nobody can see it?

I don’t think it’s meth. Harvey looks like he is ODing on Ozempic. Old white people don’t do well on it. They look sunken. He was probably a fitness buff before. Now it’s extreme turning into body dysmorphia.

I’m speechless 😶 I have no words

Young people need their ears and eyes checked if this dude is popular.

I was pretty shocked to find out that according to the streaming numbers, this guy is more popular than Pharrell, Pink, or Frank Ocean.

I never heard of this guy until now.

Is that pronounced “dee four vee dee?”

R53, focus on getting your vcr to stop flashing “12:00am” please.

R49, look up and watch vids of Harvey & his BF from 5 years ago, & compare the way they both look physically, as well as observing how they engage onto the camera for their TV audience.

Whatever the reason for the “change”, it is certainly not Ozempic.

R43 It’s simply pronounced “David”. I only know this after hearing about this story all week on local news.

At least Momma has shown zero interest in “David”, appropriately.

Thus far…

Yeah, Momma isn't interested until he goes to jail. She has standards, you know.

I hope Keith Morrison gets a hold of this one

D4vd I read as:

(D)ick for (V)eneral (D)isease.

R37 it's called aging Harvey is 75

Harvey is 75? Wow!

It's always the most innocent looking men who commit crimes...

[quote] It's always the most innocent looking men who commit crimes...

I thought he was a Sunday school teacher based on his looks!!!

Yeah, this is a really interesting case. This guy is a public figure and he thought he’d never be caught? And so sloppy with everything too leaving a trail of evidence.

The Unsolved Mysteries episode would be lit.

This is horrifying on so many levels. So much depravity in so many people in this story. The poor girl never had a chance.

If he had dumped her body in the Angeles National Forrest or the Mojave, she'd probably never be found and he'd be off scot free. If she was found, there are probably a lot of unsavory characters who would draw suspicion. And forensic evidence would be gone, so hard to prove anything.

It's hard to believe someone would so stupid as to leave a body to decompose in his own car. I'm thinking he probably killed her and drove around with her in a drunk blackout and later thought he'd disposed of the body.

Don't Teslas have internal and external cameras so the police would know who drove it last? I kinda doubt he knew how to disable them.

I asked above and probably seem a bit like a broken here, but why is this guy not in jail?

Surely the LAPD has gathered at least enough evidence to bring him in…

I guess they want to be sure it’s a slam dunk case.

The other scenario, and it’s a long shot, is that he did not kill the poor girl, but he’s affiliated with the killer. Unlikely he’s not somehow involved, though.

From what was said here it sounds like he didn’t bother hiding his perverse behavior.

The coffin on stage and the lyrics, etc.

Which leads back to why is this guy still free?

If they are able to determine the day she died and he has an airtight alibi of being out of state, then they may not be able to hold him as a suspect

She had probably been sexually abused her whole childhood. Its all she knew. What a horrifying story . May she finally have peace.

I wonder if he had too because it sounds like some BPD going on with him.

New leaks from the discord show her talking about being pregnant.

[quote] No, he dismembered her before he left to tour

Yes, I dismember it well...

[quote]New leaks from the discord show her talking about being pregnant.

Well, there's your motive. Not only a pregnant underage girl with DNA proof of statutory rape, but also 18 years of child support.

If she got passed around... They just need to retrieve DNA from the fetus to whittle down motive, I guess. If LE has camera views from the normally heavily surveilling Tesla cameras, wouldn't the last driver be IDed by now and have already faced booking? His would truly be slam dunk , clean prosecution.

Probably might be what the investigators are waiting for, some proof of parentage to establish motive. Honestly, there are so many mentally diseased characters in their environment, I wouldn't leave any people surrounding her, including her pimp sister, off the suspect list.

Her fatal "mistake" may have been fucking with a pedophile's delusion by becoming pregnant because little girls can't/shouldn't. I imagine it's one of the reasons pedos choose prepubescent-looking girls -- less evidence left behind.

Poor Celeste. She looked so unhappy. May she be free of her life of hell.

R56 here.

Upon further observation, while Harvey and his BF might be high AF, I’ve also gleaned, hypothetically, that Harvey might also be in an abusive relationship.

His BF is an asshole, & it shows, & shines, right through the camera’s lens.

I could be wrong, but I’m just sayin’!

Anyone here have dirt on Harvey’s BF?

I’ve been around long enough to know something’s off, when I see it.

Why aren't Fox News and Nancy Grace going wall-to-wall with this coverage?

R79 They only care when the victim is white.

This thread is like that time I had a look at Lipstick Alley.

That man is Harvey’s boyfriend?? Google says his man is Andy Mauer.

[quote]I never heard of this guy until now.

R53 me neither.... and I kinda wish I still hadn't. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss

Gonna post a dollface thread cos right now I think the DL needs it

The real question, to me, is will this guy be protected or convicted? Maybe some cops were paying for sex with her. It has happened before. This guy is obviously a psychopath as well as a pedo.

This feels like something you’d see on an episode of Law and Order SVU. Poor girl it sounds like she never had a chance

I have been waiting on an update on this story but there’s been nothing for a couple of days.

They're collecting pieces of evidence and putting it together along with the body

R86 Go to the subreddit, recently they found that the admin for his discord channel had tons of pedophilic and sadistic comments in there. there is also an older celeste that he was publicly dating, and all three of them were seen together, and she was later seen wearing the dead minor celeste's clothes.

When does Diddy get out?

R54 you jest, but last Monday I was having a drink in a bar next to the venue he was playing. A group of Gen Z'ers were there and the bartender asked them if his name was pronounced that way.

We (bartender and a few regulars) all had a good laugh about us being old and out of it.

Wild this story broke just a few days later.

Also the group of fans were all stereotypical Portland non-binary types, not who I imagined his fanbase as.
