    After the body of Celeste Rivas was found in an abandoned Tesla registered under D4vd's name, the rapper has been placed under scrutiny, both offline and online. While investigation into the death of the teenager is still under way, netizens are convinced that the Texas rapper was behind it. 

    A new theory confirming the same surfaced on social media on Tuesday morning (September 23), as DJ Akademiks shared an old video of D4vd - born David Anthony Burke - performing on stage. In his tweet, AK wrote that the authenticity of an unreleased D4vd song had been confirmed by Akademiks TV. 

    In the track, the rapper talks about murdering a woman in his car. The attached video witnesses D4vd performing the song. Here are the lyrics that hint at it from the video:

    "I don't wanna kill the vibe, said you don't wanna be alive right now/ Told me I could touch the sky, but why am I behind the clouds/ I got time to kill, you got time to fill/ We got blood to spill all over the new car seats that I'm sleeping on."

    Further in the song, Burke sings:

    "You don't know me, 'cause our love isn't real/ Don't tell me how you feel, signed your heart like a deal/ Remember that when you see me, what we agreed upon/ Silent treatment, you're not speaking, but you're bleeding out, how."

    In addition to the unreleased song being resurfaced, the discovery of Rivas' body from his car has also cost D4vd his ongoing tour. NBC News reported last Saturday that his Withered World Tour had shows in San Franciso and LA over the weekend, which were canceled by the Venues on Friday.

    According to the news outlet, the rapper has made no comments on the matter so far. However, his spokespersn issued a statement claiming that D4vd was "fully cooperating with authorities" in the investigation into Celeste's death.
