Meek Mill criticized for joking about d4vd investigation linked to teenager’s death

Rapper Meek Mill faced backlash this week after appearing to make light of the attention surrounding d4vd’s ongoing death investigation. According to Complex, Meek posted a since-deleted Instagram Story suggesting he wanted the same level of publicity d4vd was receiving. Referring to the media coverage of the case, the Philadelphia rapper wrote, “I need his promo for my album rollout... who do I call?”

The comment drew sharp criticism online, as many fans felt Meek Mill ignored the serious nature of the situation. The investigation involves the discovery of a deceased teenager, Celeste Rivas, found in the trunk of a car registered to d4vd. Authorities have not yet revealed Rivas’s cause of death, identified any suspects, or confirmed whether foul play was involved.

d4vd, a 20-year-old singer known for his emotional songwriting, recently transferred ownership of his Texas homes to his mother, a move that further fueled public speculation. However, officials have not released any new details regarding his potential connection to the case.

While it is unclear whether Meek’s comment was intended as a joke or sarcastic remark, social media users called it insensitive. The fact that the post was later deleted suggests he may have reconsidered his statement.

Meek Mill has developed a reputation for outspoken and sometimes controversial takes online. Despite facing criticism, he continues to engage directly with fans on social platforms, often commenting on social issues and hip-hop culture.

As the d4vd investigation continues, authorities urge the public to avoid speculation until verified updates are released. The case remains under active review, and fans await official findings that could clarify the circumstances surrounding Rivas’s death.
