Following D4vd’s arrest, a report came out about the music star’s record label revealing how much his career suffered after he was accused of the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Interscope Records signs rising star in 2022. He was giving hit tracks like Sleep Well and Poetic Vulgarity at that time.
Then, came the shocking death of the 14-year-old, whose decomposed remains were found in a vehicle registered in the rap star’s name.
A report from Rolling Stone states that Dv4d was quietly dropped by Interscope Records last year.
Meanwhile, another major record label, Universal Music Group, demanded the removal of the embattled musician’s tracks from the streaming platform.
Now that the allegations against D4vd have been publicly announced, pressure has increased on Spotify and Apple Music to remove his music from their platforms.
At the forefront, Industry Blackout, a music advocacy group, is leading the campaign and urging the complete removal of the rapper’s music from streaming platforms.
In a petition, he wrote, “The music industry has a responsibility that goes beyond commerce. When an artist has been accused of sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. This is not a neutral one.”
Celeste and D4VD are scheduled to be added after being reported missing in April 2024. His body was found in 2025.
