A fake song using the voice of D4vd, professinghis love for Celeste Rivas Hernandez, recently appeared on a streaming platform. The was single titled ‘I DID IT’ and has since been removed.The recording artist, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is accused of murdering Hernandez.
The fake single was shared on D4vd’s hacked Apple Music account on Saturday, July 25, according to TMZ. Not only that, it included a photograph of his Tesla where Hernandez’s dismembered body was found in a tow yard. The track was later removed by Apple.
The track’s chorus references Hernandez repeatedly and has lyrics such as “the girl with my name tattooed on her chest.” According to PEOPLE, the 14-year-old had the artist’s name tattooed on one of her fingers, two of which were severed. D4vd also has “Celeste” tattooed on one of his fingers.
The fake song also features the man singing about hearing Hernandez when he breathes, as well as being afraid she will only love him after he’s dead. The ‘Romantic Homicide’ singer is being held without bail amid preliminary hearings for a murder trial. Burke pleaded not guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, murder and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
“There were people who were not just gasping,” he said. “Someone at one point said, ‘Uh, Jesus.’ And then people got up and were actually walking out of the courtroom.”
Prosecutors claim that the singer cut off Hernandez’s fingers in an attempt to “distance himself from the victim.” They also allege that he cut her up with a chainsaw, put her body parts into two bags and left them in his trunk. The teen’s right index finger reportedly had a tattoo reading Shhh,” and prosecutors claim that Burke began having sex with Hernandez when she was 13, per ABC7.
Burke was arrested in April 2026, a year after he allegedly killed Celeste and released his debut album, ‘Withered,’ per PEOPLE. Recently, prosecutors pointed to explicit photographs found on D4vd’s phone, as well as numerous text messages about pregnancy and abortion. The authorities claim Burke stabbed the teen to death after she threatened to expose him.
