Music correspondent Published 17 minutes ago The Apple Music page for US singer D4vd was apparently hacked over the weekend, with a song titled I Did It added to his discography.
The musician, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently in jail on charges of murdering and sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl, named Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The teenager's body was found last year inside a Tesla registered to Burke. He has denied all the charges against him.
A picture of the abandoned Tesla was used as the artwork for I Did It, which has subsequently been removed from Apple Music. The song appeared to be a version of an unreleased track called Celeste, which D4vd allegedly recorded in 2023.
