D4vd Apple Music Account Hacked, Fake Song Posted Amid Preliminary Hearing
The Apple Music account of singer D4vd, who is currently jailed on murder charges, was hacked to release a fake song referencing the victim. The incident occurred during his ongoing preliminary hearing in Los Angeles.
Why it matters
The unauthorized release of content using an artist's likeness during a high-profile criminal trial raises concerns about digital security and the exploitation of sensitive legal cases.
Amid singer D4vd being locked up and currently fighting to keep his murder case from going to trial, his Apple Music page has been hacked ... posting a fake song with a voice sounding like the jailed artist professing his love for the victim Celeste Rivas.
The falsified track, titled "I DID IT" surfaced over the weekend, despite David Anthony Burke -- the artist known as D4vd -- remaining behind bars, without access to upload music himself. The track's artwork also features an aerial photo of D4vd's Tesla in the L.A. tow yard where Celeste's dismembered body was discovered last year.
