“Romantic Homicide” singer D4vd has enjoyed a sick spike in streams since a 15-year-old runaway was found dismembered in the trunk of his Tesla — including for a shocking official video that showed him dragging a body to the back of a car.
The New York-born singer’s music has soared up the charts as police continue to investigate how Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains ended up in the back of his car in the Hollywood Hills earlier this month, a day after her 15th birthday.
His most popular track, “Romantic Homicide,” was ranked No. 8 on Spotify’s daily chart as of Monday — its highest peak since it first went viral on TikTok in 2022. Other tracks, including “Feel It” and “Here With Me,” have also surged amid renewed interest over the shocking, eerie discovery.
His music videos have also enjoyed a rush of interest — especially a creepy one for “One More Dance,” with many circulating it online to share the creepy likeness to the real-life horror.
The video, released in February, shows D4vd covered in blood as he drags his own body along the ground — before stuffing it in the trunk of a vehicle.
The official video has already been viewed more than 3.9 million times on YouTube.
The singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, hasn’t been arrested or charged in the twisted case.
Still, it comes just days after he canceled the remainder of his world tour — nixing shows in the US and Europe as the investigation continues.
LAPD cops — who have not called D4vd a suspect in Rivas Hernandez’s death — last week raided a Hollywood Hills house where the artist had been staying and seized “several items of evidence.”
The raid on D4vd’s crash pad came, too, as connections between the pop star and the teen continued to emerge.
Previously emerged screenshots of old messages on D4vd’s Discord fan server showed he was rumored to be dating a teen named “Celeste” in the years before Rivas Hernandez was found dead.
D4vd, who has more than 2 million followers on Instagram, once made an unreleased track in which he mentioned the name “Celeste” twice.
Meanwhile, several photos captured the star with a young woman bearing a strong resemblance to Rivas Hernandez, whose mom told TMZ she was dating someone called “David.”
The teen’s body was found Sept. 8 — the day after her 15th birthday — after the Tesla was brought to a Hollywood tow lot.
Rivas Hernandez had been reported missing by her family when she was 13.
D4vd’s team has previously said he is cooperating with investigators.
