A brief message posted by the brother of D4vd is drawing significant attention online, as new details continue to emerge in the criminal case involving the rising singer.
Caleb Burke, the artist’s brother, appeared to respond indirectly to the allegations through an Instagram story that quickly circulated across social media platforms. The post read, “all pedophiles and rapist should die. Period.” He did not mention his brother by name, but the timing of the statement has led many followers to interpret it as a reaction to the ongoing case.
As many are aware by now, the musician, born David Anthony Burke, rose to prominence in 2022 after gaining viral success on TikTok with songs like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here with Me.”
This month , Burke was arrested on April 16 in the Hollywood Hills. Prosecutors have charged him with first-degree murder in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Authorities allege that the victim’s remains were discovered in September 2025 inside a vehicle registered to him.
Additional charges include special circumstances such as lying in wait and financial gain, as well as lewd acts with a child and mutilation of a body.
Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently being held without bail. His defense team maintains that he is innocent and intends to contest the allegations in court.
Caleb Burke’s statement has not been clarified further, and he has not issued any follow-up comments publicly. Still, the post has become a focal point of discussion, with some viewing it as a strong moral stance and others questioning whether it reflects a deeper response to the accusations facing his brother.
