D4vd has now been accused of having a “significant” amount of child sex abuse images on his phone and iCloud account.
According to the New York Post, on Thursday, April 23, D4vd appeared in court for his preliminary hearing. This time, prosecutors reported that they discovered a “‘significant’ amount of child pornography on the singers iPhone after conducting a search of the device.”
Specifically, investigators reportedly “gathered 40 terabytes of data,” apparently from his device. Additionally, prosecutors also revealed they conducted a wiretap of his phone. Furthermore, prosecutors revealed they plan to hand over “bodycam video, DNA trace evidence, property reports, vehicle reports, photographs,” and forensic reports to D4vd’s legal team.
Per the outlet, D4vd will be back in court on April 29. Per Fox 11 Los Angeles, it remains unclear whether prosecutors will pursue the death penalty against the singer.
Social media users reacted to the reports of child sex abuse images on D4vd’s phone in TSR’s comment section.

As The Shade Room previously reported, D4vd was arrested earlier this month in connection with the September 2025 discovery of the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Additionally, he was held without bail, and his mugshot was released in the following days. Simultaneously, D4vd was also charged with first-degree murder of the 14-year-old, along with “lewd and lascivious sexual acts with an individual under 14 years of age,” and “mutilating human remains.”
In the days that followed, charging documents revealed that D4vd engaged in continuous sexual abuse of Hernandez between September 2023 and September 2024, per The Shade Room. Then, on or about April 23, 2025, he allegedly killed the teen. Then, on or about May 5, he allegedly mutilated her body.
Earlier this week, the autopsy for Celeste Rivas Hernandez was released, revealing that her body was missing two fingers and that she died from multiple penetrating injuries. Additionally, the autopsy release prompted a statement from the Hernandez family.
