Kali Uchis is officially cutting ties with rising Gen Z artist, D4vd. This comes afterhis name got wrapped up in a jaw-dropping, deeply disturbing headline involving a missing 15-year-old girl. What authorities allegedly found has social media in complete meltdown mode.
Kali Uchis is distancing herself from singer D4vd after the shocking news that authorities uncovered missing teen, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, in the trunk of a vehicle connected to him. The two artists dropped their dreamy collab ‘Crashing’ back in February, but that song may not be streaming for much longer. After fans started pressing Kali in the comments, she made it clear shes not standing by him:
“Not my friend. I did a song with him, which is currently in the process of being taken down,” she wrote on IG.
No word yet from d4vds teambut social media is watching this unfold. In the same comment section, Kali responded to a user who was defending her amid others blaming the singer. She wrote, “@cynthia_barrera_ it’s ok bb people like her are why women always get blamed for the things men do, lol, the internalized misogyny of this world, I suppose.”
Fans wasted no time hitting up The Shade Rooms comment section with all kinds of reactions. Some users applauded Kali Uchis for distancing herself, saying theyd do the exact same thing in her shoes. Others admitted they had never even heard of D4vd until the news broke. Many were also confused about why anyone assumed Kali and D4vd were friendspointing out that a collab doesnt equal a personal relationship.
One Instagram user @angelbutterflyexcellence_diva said, “As she should I would have done the same thing IDC how well known famous you“
This Instagram user @aquarius_xx00 commented, “I dont blame her“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @thearringtonjordan shared, “Dont yell at me but what if he didnt do it? They said he isnt a suspect smh.“
While, Instagram user @audaciouslex added, “I can’t be the only person that never heard of D4vd before yesterday?“
Instagram user @stiffmoods shared, “why some people first thought is to harass a woman who has a song with him, she aint got nothing to do with that man“
Likewise, Instagram user @ycbanksmusic wrote, “Just because they have a song together dont mean she got anything to do with him“
Lastly, Instagram user @rhyajanae said, “Honestly, idk whats going on in this world anymore. Like wtf“
Authorities are investigating the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to 20-year-old singer D4vd. The car had been towed from a Los Angeles street on September 6. Then two days later, staff at the impound lot reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle. LAPD officers discovered the teens body in a state of decomposition. She was identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner as a missing girl from Lake Elsinore, last seen in 2024.
Law enforcement sources say officials recently searched a Hollywood Hills home where D4vd had been staying. While the LAPDs Robbery-Homicide Division is leading the investigation, the case is not currently classified as a homicide, as the agency has not determined a cause of death or a suspect. The teen was 5’1″, with wavy black hair, and police found her wearing a tube top, leggings, and jewelry. Additionally, a tattoo on her index finger that read “Shhh” reportedly matched one the singer has. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe is now active in support of her family.
