In a recent judge‑staffed hearing in Los Angeles, prosecutors showed new text exchanges that implicate the 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, victim of singer D4vd, with a pregnancy that was aborted before her death.
The texts, which include a mother‑to‑child plea, were dated from early 2024 back to 8 August 2022 when the teenager was only 11 and the 19‑year‑old self‑styled “D4vd” was 17. The messages reveal that Celeste had been pregnant at 13 and had carried out an abortion, with the singer offering comfort and later asking “in case it hasn’t worked.” The conversation also indicates that Celeste threatened to expose his abuse, prompting the alleged murder.
The case was thrust into the public eye when police announced D4vd’s arrest in April 2026, after his body‑packed Tesla was found with the teenager’s remains. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman filed seven felony charges, from murder to continuous sexual abuse of a child and mutilation of remains.
D4vd, who first rose to prominence on TikTok through hits such as “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me,” was on tour when Celeste was discovered. His international show schedule ground to a halt as his campaign was abandoned post‑investigation.
Verdicters and witnesses will reconvene to decide whether the defendant proceeds to trial, after he pleaded not guilty to all charges. The accused, now isolated from both social media and the music scene, must face the ultimate consequence of potentially removing a child’s life and career.
