As U.S. singer d4vd (David Burke) was arrested on suspicion of murdering his 14-year-old girlfriend, the M! Countdown video he appeared in was also taken down.
According to OSEN reporting on the 17th, the d4vd M! Countdown video that had been public on Mnet's YouTube channel since 3 p.m. that day is currently set to private and cannot be viewed. Also, on the OTT platform TVING, which provides VOD videos, the May 22, 2025, video in which he appeared has been taken down.
Regarding this, Mnet told OSEN, The M! Countdown video in which the artist appeared is currently set to private. The VOD for that episode will be edited to remove the performance and reuploaded, the network said in an official statement.
The reason d4vd's videos were taken down is that he was arrested on the 16th on suspicion of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. U.S. entertainment outlets reported that d4vd was arrested on suspicion of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas and was being held by police.
According to reports, d4vd was arrested at his home in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said the case has been referred to its violent crime division, which will decide whether to prosecute.
However, the incident was not recently revealed. In September last year, the body of 14-year-old Celeste was found in the trunk of d4vd's car, and d4vd canceled the remainder of his tour and went into hiding immediately after the discovery to avoid arrest.
The body was severely decomposed, and it is reported that the victim had run away in 2024 and had cut off contact with family and acquaintances since May 2025. Rumors that Celeste was d4vd's lover were widespread. Evidence also emerged that the two had matching couple tattoos and lived together at his Hollywood residence.
