D4vd's Apple Music Hack Posts Fake 'I DID IT…' Track as 2025 Murder Hearings Continue

Q: Who uploaded “I Did It” to D4vd’s Apple Music, and was the viral track meant to manipulate a murder case narrative?

No one has been publicly identified as the uploader of “I Did It,” and there is no verified evidence yet showing it was part of a deliberate effort to manipulate the murder-case narrative. What is known is that the track appeared on D4vd’s Apple Music while David Anthony Burke was in Los Angeles County Jail awaiting hearings, making it highly unlikely he uploaded it himself. TMZ and other reports said the release was unauthorized and likely tied to a hacked or otherwise compromised account. Apple Music has not publicly confirmed how the song was posted or by whom. The circumstances fueled suspicion. The track reportedly reused or resembled an older leaked demo connected to “Celeste,” and its artwork allegedly referenced Burke’s impounded Tesla, where Hernandez’s body was found. A similar unexplained upload, “Marcescence,” had also briefly appeared on his Spotify account days earlier before being removed. Those details suggest someone with access to unreleased material or archival content may have been involved. But the motive remains unproven. Because the song’s timing coincided with Burke’s preliminary hearing and many listeners interpreted it as a confession, it plainly had the effect of shaping online discussion. Even so, there is no confirmed evidence from investigators, Apple, or Burke’s legal team showing the uploader intended to sway public opinion, taint proceedings, or manipulate the case narrative. At this stage, that remains speculation.

TMZ screenshots showed a fake song titled "I DID IT…" on jailed singer D4vd's Apple Music profile before the unauthorized track was removed.
Social media users tied the post to alleged lyrics from an unreleased demo called "Celeste," including a line about a girl with his name tattooed on her chest.
The apparent hack surfaced as D4vd appeared in Los Angeles preliminary hearings over the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Investigators say her dismembered remains were found in September 2025 in a Tesla registered to D4vd, and testimony Friday said his phone contained explicit images of the teen, including some showing sexual activity.
