How Are D4vd & Celeste Rivas Hernandez Connected? | Vinnie Politan Investigates

The mysterious deaths of rising music star D4vd (David Rose Jr.) and 19-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez have sent shockwaves through both the music industry and the public. As authorities continue to unravel the details, one question stands at the center of it all: What was the true connection between D4vd and Celeste?

Through conversations with friends, insiders, and law enforcement, I’ve begun to piece together the story behind these two young lives — a story that reveals far more than a simple friendship or musical collaboration.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was not a public figure, but in the underground creative circles of Los Angeles, she was well known. A digital artist and aspiring songwriter, she was often seen at small studio sessions, exclusive house parties, and late-night music events. It was in one of those circles, earlier this summer, where she reportedly met D4vd — a then-rising artist gaining massive attention on platforms like TikTok and Spotify.

According to multiple sources, the two connected quickly — both creatively and personally. They were said to be “inseparable” for weeks at a time, attending sessions together, staying late at studios, and even appearing in the background of each other’s livestreams. Though never confirmed publicly, those close to them believed they were romantically involved.

“There was something intense between them,” said one producer who worked with D4vd in July. “They fed off each other creatively, but it wasn’t always peaceful. There were moments of tension, arguments… but they always came back together.”

As D4vd’s star began to rise, insiders say he became more withdrawn — overwhelmed by pressure, attention, and the darker side of fame. Celeste, some say, remained one of the few people he trusted. She was known to defend him fiercely and was said to be concerned about the crowd he was getting involved with: people with access, influence, and secrets.

Then, on the night of September 18, everything changed. D4vd left a studio session alone, driving his Tesla Model Y into the hills. Two days later, he was found dead beside the wrecked vehicle on a remote stretch of Mulholland Drive. Just one day after that, a woman believed to be Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in a wooded area northeast of Los Angeles, reportedly with signs of blunt force trauma.

Authorities treated both as tragic but separate incidents — until now.

In a shocking development, a possible sighting of Celeste in Barstow, California, has reopened the case. Surveillance footage is being reviewed, and sources inside the LAPD admit the initial autopsy may not have definitively confirmed Celeste’s identity. If true, this changes everything.

Were D4vd and Celeste running from something? Were they victims of a larger operation — tied to exploitation, manipulation, or worse? And if Celeste is alive, where is she now? Why has she disappeared?

The deeper we look, the more it seems this story is not just about two young artists — but about the dangers that lurk behind the curtain of fame, and the silence that follows when things go too far.

One thing is certain: the connection between D4vd and Celeste wasn’t just real — it may be the key to uncovering the truth.
