A resurfaced livestream from January 2024 shows musician D4vd instructing his moderators to delete all recordings after broadcasting with a person viewers identify as Celeste Rivas.

On September 8, authorities discovered the body of a female, later identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer D4vd, found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. The case is under homicide investigation, with D4vd cooperating as detectives search properties linked to him.

Since the victim's identification, the internet has been flooded with alleged evidence connecting D4vd to Rivas' case, including matching tattoos, song lyrics and videos of the two together.

In the clip, which has been circulating again on social media, D4vd can be heard telling his moderators to remove all VODs and clips once the stream ended.

While it is not uncommon for streamers to take down archived content for reasons such as copyright protection or privacy, the direct instruction given on camera has caught the attention of online communities revisiting his streaming history.

D4vd first gained recognition in 2022 with breakout singles "Romantic Homicide" and "Here With Me", both of which gained significant traction on short-form video platforms before leading to international touring. 

The resurfaced footage has appeared during broader online discussions about his past streams and stage antics, including staged “funerals” at concerts.

Users on Reddit and X have been revisiting older clips, though many of the claims attached to his past content remain unverified.

The original platform for the January broadcast has not been confirmed, though the involvement of moderators and the use of VODs suggest it may have been hosted on Twitch or YouTube.
