The scandal surrounding US singer D4vd has reached a breaking point as his ties to the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas continue to dominate headlines. Once hailed as a rising star, D4vd is now being blacklisted by brands, festivals, and fans in what appears to be the sharpest fall of his career to date.
The controversy erupted after Celeste Rivas’ body was reportedly discovered in an abandoned car linked to the singer. The teenager, whose disappearance was registered in 2024, allegedly first connected with D4vd years earlier. Since the discovery, investigations have intensified, and the public backlash has grown louder by the day.
In the latest wave of fallout, organisers of the popular Split Milk Festival have quietly removed D4vd from promotional materials. Posters featuring his name were allegedly reprinted without him on the lineup, signalling a swift effort to distance the event from his scandal. At the same time, Crocs ended its partnership with the singer, scrubbing campaign images and videos from its platforms. Other companies are rumoured to be considering similar moves.

On social media, the reaction has been fierce. Fans and critics alike have demanded accountability, with many questioning why D4vd has not yet faced formal charges. Posts referencing leaked Discord screenshots, disturbing claims, and unanswered questions about his past behaviour have further fuelled the fire. His manager Josh Marshall has also been dragged into the controversy as calls for transparency spread.
Despite the backlash, reports suggest D4vd has been cooperating with police and has already cancelled tour dates while the case unfolds. Yet for many, the damage appears irreversible. With a cancelled tour, dropped endorsements, and festivals cutting ties, the once-celebrated singer now finds himself at the centre of one of the most explosive scandals in recent memory.
