D4vd's Apple Music account seemingly hacked after fake song 'I Did It' appears
D4vd's official Apple Music page appears to have been hacked over the weekend after a fake song titled 'I DID IT…' surfaced on his artist profile, complete with cover art showing the exact tow yard where Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was discovered.
According to TMZ, the artwork features an aerial shot of the Tesla registered to the singer, real name David Anthony Burke, sitting in the Hollywood tow yard with its trunk open, the same vehicle in which Hernandez's dismembered remains were found last September.
The track itself, since removed from the platform, reportedly mimicked D4vd's vocal style and directly referenced Hernandez in its lyrics.
The song spread rapidly online, with a number of fans initially treating it as a genuine admission of guilt, despite the singer having entered a not-guilty plea back in April.

D4vd is currently in custody as a preliminary hearing is ongoing in Los Angeles. He faces charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
What are the lyrics of D4vd's fake 'I Did It' song?
The chorus of the fabricated track allegedly described a girl with the singer's name tattooed on her chest, and claimed her scent still lingered on his clothes like cigarette smoke.
Another line in the song referenced hearing her when he breathes, and a fear that she would only love him after he had died.
The disturbing content, paired with the tow yard imagery, was enough to convince some listeners the track was a real release, before it became clear the audio had been faked and uploaded without authorization.
As of the time of writing, the audio itself has been taken down from D4vd's Apple Music account.
His attorneys issued a statement at the time of his arrest (July 16) denying the singer killed the teenager.
They said: "Let us be clear, the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and he was not the cause of her death. We will vigorously defend David's innocence."
UNILAD has approached D4vd's attorneys Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter for additional comment.
