Screenshots of alleged chats D4vd had with another minor in 2023 go viral as the investigation into the body of the girl found in his car continues.

As details trickle in about the investigation of missing teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found dead in singer D4vd’s car last month, scuttlebutt online has surfaced many alleged chats between the singer and the victim. The latest? Screenshots of alleged texts suggesting D4vd may have been having intimate conversations with another minor in 2023.

While unconfirmed, the screenshots and allegations circulating on social media raise significant questions about the musician’s potential behavior. Notably, no evidence has yet suggested that D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has been named a suspect in the investigation.

Coverage of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death has slowed while authorities continue their investigation. But a post from Twitter user @ENGLEEZY, a former associate of Burke’s, claims that chats sent to him are from someone claiming to be another girl “D4vd had ‘dated’ in 2023 while she was underage.”

Multiple screenshots of these texts were also posted on Reddit, showing Burke’s alleged manipulative behavior. These include lines like, “I would love to have a public relationship with someone, but the way this is going, we have to be a secret,” and mentioning that the other party still had a couple years of high school left.

Commenters urged other victims to come forward. Some suggested that the age difference in the alleged texts and the repeated outreach point to a pattern of behavior “beyond a casual relationship.” However, others pointed out that screenshots can be easily fabricated, and demanded verification.

None of these alleged messages or claims have been confirmed by law enforcement, nor has Burke been named a suspect in the ongoing investigation. But if investigators determine that the messages are genuine, it could spell bad news for D4vd, and could constitute grooming—which is a prosecutable offense in many jurisdictions.

The singer recently hired former Harvey Weinstein attorney Blair Berk as the case and the scrutiny surrounding it intensifies. Meanwhile, a funeral was recently held for Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
