D4vd’s brother has shared a message on social media condemning sexual predators following the singer’s recent arrest, as public scrutiny around the case continues.

Caleb Burke, posted a statement to his Instagram Story on April 23 with a message that read, “All [pedophiles] and rapists should die. Period,” though he did not directly reference his brother or confirm the context of the post.

The statement has drawn attention online, with some users speculating about its connection to the ongoing case.

However, no official clarification has been provided, and it remains unclear whether the message was intended to address the allegations involving D4vd.

The singer has been accused of murdering teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was reportedly discovered in the trunk of a Tesla linked to him last year.

Prosecutors have also alleged possession of child pornography and a sexual relationship with the victim. Legal proceedings in the case are ongoing.

Reports indicate that members of D4vd’s family, including Caleb and their parents, were issued grand jury subpoenas earlier this year in relation to the case.

Attempts to appeal those subpoenas in Texas were reportedly unsuccessful, although it has not been confirmed whether they have testified.

Several individuals previously associated with the singer have publicly distanced themselves. Actress Cassidy Clarke, who appeared in one of his music videos, said in a TikTok video, “I do not associate with D4vd by any means.” She added, “I'm making this video to put an end to my association with D4vd.”

The developments continue to generate discussion as more reactions emerge from those connected to the artist, while authorities proceed with the case.
