On Thursday, Caleb took to his Instagram Stories with a series of lengthy posts. His statements stress that he understands the seriousness of the case and does not want to insert himself into an ongoing legal matter. Additionally, he directly denied claims that he was protecting his brother or had any knowledge of wrongdoing. Caleb said he has not lived with D4vd in years and that they rarely speak outside of brief family interactions. He also addressed resurfaced footage showing him around Celeste Rivas Hernandez at a concert when he was 15. However, Caleb claimed that the clip was taken out of context. He also revealed that he did not know her well or know her age at the time.
What Else Caleb Burke Said In His Statement?
Caleb also pushed back on claims that he was using the situation for attention or to boost his music career. He said he’s been making music for years and recently rebranded under a new stage name. Caleb added that he even stepped away from music for months because of the emotional toll surrounding the case. He also called out inaccuracies in reports about his age and timeline, saying his creative reset was planned long before the case resurfaced publicly. As D4vd continues facing serious legal proceedings following his April arrest, Caleb ended his statement by saying he’s focused on building his own path through music and separating himself from the allegations tied to his brother.
D4vd’s TikTok Account Disappears Amid Legal Fallout
The online fallout surrounding D4vd continues to grow. And, yet another major platform appears to have distanced itself from the singer following his recent legal troubles. This time, fans noticed that his TikTok account has seemingly disappeared entirely. Now, users can no longer find his page just weeks after he was charged in connection to the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Users searching for D4vd’s profile are now met with a notice saying the account has been banned. All content tied to the page appears to have been removed. While TikTok has not confirmed the reason behind the ban, the platform does prohibit content tied to violence or harmful conduct. TMZ reports that inquiries have been made to TikTok, but no public statement has been released yet. D4vd’s preliminary hearing is now set for May 26 after his defense team requested more time to review evidence.
