D4vd’s Apple Music account sparks frenzy after ‘I DID IT’ song with Tesla artwork appears during Celeste Rivas court hearing

A strange upload on D4vd’s Apple Music account left fans stunned and social media in complete disbelief. A song titled I DID IT suddenly appeared under the singer’s name, accompanied by artwork showing the Tesla that has been repeatedly mentioned in the ongoing investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The timing made the situation even more shocking, as the upload surfaced while D4vd’s preliminary court hearing was underway.
Within minutes, screenshots spread across X, with many wondering whether the release was real. It was not. Reports later confirmed that D4vd’s Apple Music account had been hacked, but not before the fake song sparked millions of views, countless memes and heated online debate.

The fake song that fooled thousands

The controversy exploded after X users shared screenshots of the mysterious upload. The post quickly crossed a million views as people rushed to check whether the song was actually available on D4vd’s Apple Music account.What caught everyone’s attention was not just the title. The cover image allegedly featured D4vd’s Tesla, a vehicle that prosecutors have repeatedly referenced during court proceedings. Combined with the words I DID IT, many users initially believed the upload was some kind of confession or deliberate statement.

That assumption did not last long. According to TMZ, the upload was completely unauthorized and appeared after someone gained access to the artist’s Apple Music account. The fake track was eventually removed, but by then it had already gone viral across multiple social media platforms.

Timing made the upload even more disturbing

The incident happened while D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was attending a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles. Burke has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder, sexual abuse involving a minor and mutilation of human remains in connection with the death of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

During the hearing, prosecutors presented evidence they believe links Burke to the crime, including information related to his Tesla, digital records and forensic findings. Because those details were already dominating news coverage, the hacked upload immediately became part of the wider conversation surrounding the case.

For many people online, it felt as though someone had deliberately timed the hack to create maximum shock value. Although there is no evidence confirming who was behind it, the upload quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the ongoing case.

Social media had their own say in the controversy

As expected, the internet reacted almost instantly. Some users could not believe that someone managed to post a fake song on the account of an artist involved in such a high profile case. Others filled the replies with memes and comparisons to the famous Key and Peele comedy sketch about criminals accidentally confessing through rap lyrics.
One user wrote, “This is the wildest hack I’ve ever seen.” Another commented, “I genuinely thought this was real for a second.” Not everyone found it funny, though. Several people pointed out that the case involves the death of a teenager and criticised those turning the incident into a meme.

One user wrote, “A family lost someone. This isn’t internet entertainment.” That divide between dark humour and genuine concern became a major part of the conversation as the screenshots continued spreading across social media.
