On April 20, Los Angeles authorities just dropped heavy charges on the singer David, real named David Anthony Burke. On April 20, the district attorney announced he's facing first-degree murder, lewd acts with a child under 14 and dismembering a body. This stems from the death of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose remains turned up eight months back. The body was found in September in the trunk of an impounded Tesla, linked to David, where cops checked out a foul smell at a Hollywood tow yard. Rivas had gone missing back in April of last year, reported by her family right around her 13th birthday. District attorney Nathan Hockman called it a parents' worst nightmare during Monday's press conference, and noted David could face the death penalty if convicted. Meanwhile, his team fire back strong, saying no indictment or formal complaint exists yet. He's just held on suspicion, and they planned to prove his. Innocence, David blew up what tracks like, here with me and Romantic homicide, each topping 1.5 billion streams on Spotify.

He was mid-world tour for his debut album withered, hitting North America and Europe through November of next year, but it got scrapped in September. Amid the probe, as this case heats up, all eyes stay on the evidence and court moves ahead could reshape everything we thought we knew about rising stars in the game.
