A previously unreleased demo attributed to singer D4vd has appeared on his Apple Music account, accompanied by cover art showing an aerial view of the impounded Tesla connected to the investigation into the death of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
What has emerged
The track, listed as titled “I DID IT…” on the streaming profile, is in fact a demo that has circulated online in earlier form under the name “Celeste”. The lyrics that match the leaked demo include lines such as:
“Oh, Celeste, afraid you’ll only love me when undressed, but you look so damn gorgeous in that dress.”
Law enforcement records state the vehicle shown in the artwork is the same car in which Hernandez’s body was found in September 2025. The appearance of the single on Apple Music comes while the 21‑year‑old performer remains in custody facing charges over Hernandez’s death; he has pleaded not guilty.
Unclear origins and previous incidents
Representatives for the singer have not confirmed whether the upload was authorised or whether the account was compromised. NewsNation reported outreach to the artist’s media and legal teams without response.
This is not the first instance of unexpected uploads to the artist’s streaming profiles. In mid‑July a track called “Marcescence” briefly appeared on the singer’s official Spotify page along with cover art that showed what appeared to be a mirror selfie; that item was removed roughly eight hours later.
Context within the case
Los Angeles police have said Hernandez and the singer first made contact in 2022 when she was 11. Prosecutors have alleged the killing was motivated by fear she would disclose the relationship, asserting the singer sought to protect his career. The singer faces criminal charges in connection with the death.
- Track title on Apple Music: “I DID IT…”
- Original demo known as: “Celeste” (leaked December 2023)
- Previous unexplained upload: “Marcescence” on Spotify (17 July; removed after ~8 hours)
| Item | Date / Detail |
|---|---|
| Demo leak | December 2023 (known as “Celeste”) |
| Spotify upload | 17 July 2026 — “Marcescence” (removed ~8 hours later) |
| Apple Music appearance | 26 July 2026 — titled “I DID IT…” with Tesla artwork |
The reappearance of material tied so closely to an active criminal investigation raises questions about who controls the artist’s digital catalogue and whether material may be deliberately or inadvertently posted amid ongoing legal proceedings. For now, no official statement has clarified the provenance of the Apple Music upload.
As the case continues to move through the courts, further comment from the artist’s team or the streaming services could shed light on how the track came to be publicly listed. Until then the presence of the song and its evocative artwork will remain a point of scrutiny for observers following both the legal case and the singer’s catalogue.
