Online Backlash Over “Romantic Homicide”
In the wake of the discovery, D4vd’s song “Romantic Homicide” has come under intense scrutiny. Netizens pointed out disturbing parallels between the song’s music video and the case. Some noticed that the actress in the 2022 video bore a resemblance to Celeste Rivas, while others highlighted that the video’s release date—September 7—was the same day as Celeste’s birthday.
On X (formerly Twitter), user @slipperylizardd shared side-by-side photos comparing Celeste and the actress, a post that quickly went viral with over 75,000 likes.
“It’s hard to unsee that now… makes the whole video feel disturbing in hindsight,” one commenter wrote. Others pointed out the bloody imagery in his videos and the lyrical references to killing a loved one.
Discord Server Speculation
The controversy deepened when users began digging into D4vd’s Discord server, claiming to find images of the singer with Celeste and messages mentioning her directly. Some fans speculated that the two may have been in a relationship as early as when Celeste was 12 years old.
Celeste’s mother told TMZ that her daughter had spoken about dating someone named David. However, authorities have not confirmed any of these rumors, and much of the online speculation remains unverified.
