Prosecutors Cast D4vd's $7.2M Interscope Deal as Financial Motive in Murder Hearing

At a probable-cause hearing, an Interscope executive testified singer D4vd earned over $7.2 million from 2022 to 2025 under a recording deal. Prosecutors argue that financial stake motivated him to silence 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in his Tesla. Interscope terminated his contract in December 2025. D4vd pleaded not guilty to murder and sexual abuse charges.
