Kali Uchis Removes Collaboration wiht D4vd Following Death Investigation
LOS ANGELES – Kali Uchis has removed a song featuring D4vd, titled “Crashing,” from streaming platforms following teh death of a 19-year-old woman whose body was found in a Tesla linked to the singer. The removal comes amid an ongoing investigation and increasing scrutiny surrounding D4vd, whose real name is David Burke.
The decision to pull the collaboration, released just days before the investigation became public, reflects a growing fallout for the rising artist. D4vd has canceled a scheduled performance in Seattle as part of his “Withered” world tour and was dropped by Crocs and Hollister following the news.
The body of Alexa Rivas was discovered on September 19th in a Tesla registered to Burke in the Hollywood Hills. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has not yet released a cause of death.
On September 17th, detectives served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills home believed to be occupied by D4vd, seizing a computer and collecting evidence in bags. The LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide division is leading the investigation, but Burke has not been named a suspect or person of interest and has been cooperating with investigators, according to police.
D4vd is still scheduled to perform in los Angeles this Saturday at the Greek Theatre, though it remains unclear if he will continue with the rest of his tour.
This report is based on information provided by TMZ, which reported on the police search and D4vd’s Instagram post. Additional details on the police investigation come from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), while context on the victim’s background and the history of the case is provided by a previous TMZ interview with the victim’s mother.
