The actress featured in D4vd’s music video, “Romantic Homicide,” has caught the attention of viewers for looking strikingly like Celeste Rivas. For context, Celeste is the 15-year-old whose body was discovered in D4vd’s Tesla this month—an incident that has shocked many.
D4vd was just 17 when he released the controversial video. It debuted on September 7, 2022—the same day as Celeste’s birthday, which raised eyebrows among curious fans. On Twitter, user @slipperylizardd shared a split image that showcased the similarities between the two.
The tweet quickly gained traction, with over 75,000 likes, as users expressed their discomfort with the content of the music video. One Twitter user (@bigsar005) pointed out that abusers often disguise their actions as “art,” achieving a form of normalization.
“It’s hard to unsee that now… makes the whole video feel disturbing in hindsight,” wrote another concerned user.
“Tbh predators aren’t sloppy; they hide in plain sight. They dress abuse up as ‘art,’ doll it up to confuse people. It isn’t romance, it’s manipulation.” Another user chimed in with similar sentiments.
“This is my first time seeing the MV, and he’s a complete psycho. Crazy how it’s only now catching up to him,” shared one user.
In addition to the resemblance, some noted the graphic content in the music video and lyrics referring to violence against loved ones. Many users recounted that after watching, they were left with unsettling feelings.
“We need to take song lyrics seriously; he seems to be spilling details little by little,” another viewer stressed.
“Most of D4vd’s music videos remind me of Celeste. He also has images of blood on his hands, suggestive of deeper themes. I honestly don’t know what to feel right now,” said another user.
“His music videos give off serious Celeste vibes, and the blood imagery is chilling… no words!” commented a viewer.
Digging Deeper on D4vd’s Discord
In an intriguing twist, Celeste’s mother informed TMZ that her daughter had mentioned dating a guy named David, prompting netizens to scrutinize D4vd’s Discord server. They discovered odd images of him alongside a young girl—supposedly Celeste.
Unverified screenshots circulated on social media, leading people to speculate that Celeste may have begun dating D4vd at just 12 years old. To date, no evidence backs up these claims.
As of September 10, 2025, D4vd’s representative stated to NBC News that the artist is “fully cooperating” with the ongoing police inquiry. However, he has neither addressed the online concerns raised nor acknowledged details uncovered from his Discord activity. Stay tuned for more information regarding D4vd and the Celeste Rivas investigation.
