D4vd professes his love for someone named Celeste in one of his leaked songs ... and it's the same name as the 15-year-old girl who was found dead in his Tesla.

The track features some pretty interesting lyrics ... and there are two mentions of "Celeste."

D4vd sings ... "Oh, Celeste / The girl with my name tattooed on her chest / Smell her on my clothes like cigarettes // I hear her voice each time I take a breath / I'm obsessed."

Celeste Rivas' name became known nationwide when we revealed her body had been found in a Tesla belonging to D4vd.

And the story's only gone deeper from there, as we found out her whereabouts had been unknown prior to the discovery of her corpse.

We're going to take a look into the deceased individual's background and check out the circumstances surrounding her death.

Celeste was last seen in April 2024 in Lake Elsinore, California, about an hour and a half southeast of Los Angeles.

Her mom spoke to us shortly after her daughter's body was identified and said her daughter had been missing for more than a year, and that she was only 13 when she vanished.

Celeste had a tattoo reading "Shhh..." on her right index finger -- and D4vd has an identical tattoo on his right index finger.

Her mom also stated her daughter had a boyfriend named David at the time of her disappearance.

Celeste's body was discovered in September 2025 in the front trunk of a Tesla at a tow yard in Hollywood.

The car had been at the tow yard for several days after it was abandoned on a residential street in the Hollywood Hills. LAPD officers found the body after they received a report about a foul odor emanating from the vehicle at the impound lot.

Celeste's body was located in a bag stored in the Tesla's front trunk. It had been chopped up and was in a state of advanced decomposition when it was found.

Authorities did not immediately release the dead person's name ... describing the body as a female about 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing about 70 pounds, with wavy dark hair, with the previously described tattoo.

We confirmed the Tesla was registered in Hempstead, Texas, to D4vd's real name, David Anthony Burke.

Authorities confirmed Celeste's body was found on September 8, according to NBC News.

Law enforcement sources told us D4vd claimed he had no idea anything had gone wrong, and we were also told he was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.

D4vd was in the middle of his world tour when the news about the body being found was revealed, and although he performed several dates after the news broke, he canceled his show in Seattle scheduled for September 17, the day Celeste's body was formally identified.

D4vd's Tesla was abandoned on a street in the Hollywood Hills before it was towed and impounded with a dead body inside ... and cops are scouring the area where the car was parked and looking for video that would identify the driver and maybe crack the case.

Multiple people who live on the block where the singer's Tesla was abandoned tell TMZ ... LAPD swept the area and are talking with every neighbor they can track down to see if there is Ring camera or surveillance video showing D4vd's car.

We're told cops are not only asking residents for video showing the main street where the car was towed from, they're also searching for video showing nearby alleyways ... suggesting cops believe the Tesla may have driven through an alley before being abandoned to avoid detection.

Singer D4vd has a tattoo on his finger with the letters "Shhh..." -- and the young girl's body found in his Tesla has the same tattoo on her finger.

As TMZ reported, the body has now been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Authorities said she had a tattoo on her right index finger with the letters "Shhh..." David's tattoo is also on his right index finger.

TMZ spoke with Celeste's mom last week, and she told us about her daughter's tattoo, adding it was in red ink. The mom said Celeste had been missing for more than a year, but she was suspicious of the Tesla discovery because she said Celeste's boyfriend's name was David.

D4vd's hitting pause on his world tour after authorities in Los Angeles identified the dead girl found in his Tesla ... we've learned he's NOT taking the stage tonight for a scheduled gig in Seattle.

The singer was supposed to perform Wednesday night at the Showbox SoDo, but sources with direct knowledge tell us the concert is canceled.

D4vd had been touring even while cops in L.A. were in the middle of a homicide investigation involving a chopped up and decomposing body that was found earlier this month in the front trunk of his Tesla.

Isabella Ladera, an influencer in Miami, is dragging her ex-boyfriend, Colombian pop star Beéle, to court ... she's suing, claiming he's to blame for their private sex tape leaking on the internet after their split.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Isabella claims they would film sex videos on their phones at Beéle's request during their relationship, and one leaked on the internet a few months after they broke up.

Isabella says when the sex tape surfaced September 7 and went viral, "the Earth stood still" for her ... and she claims Beéle was the only person who had access to the video other than her ... and she says she deleted her copy long before the footage emerged online.

Travis Kelce is sharing some details of his upcoming wedding with Taylor Swift ... and based on his latest comments, it sure seems the two lovebirds won't be dancing to a DJ after they tie the knot.

Snoop Dogg has axed his New Zealand concert just 3 days before he was supposed to hit the stage ... after the show's promoter was reportedly found guilty of sexually assaulting his children's babysitter following multiple related accusations.

The "Drop It Like It's Hot" hitmaker was scheduled to perform at the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau, Auckland, NZ on Saturday ... but the promoter, 4ward Entertainment, announced Wednesday the event had been cancelled due to "circumstances beyond" its control, stating ... "Our goal was to deliver a first-class, New Zealand-first show and we are saddened this is no longer possible."

The abrupt cancellation comes just a week after local promoter Pato Alvarez was revealed as the previously unnamed "entertainment industry figure" accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, according to multiple reports. Stuff reports Alvarez faced 25 charges involving nine women ... he was convicted on two charges of indecent assault and attempted unlawful sexual connection involving his babysitter in 2023, which has just recently come to light.

Alvarez's fought to keep his identity sealed, but the Supreme Court of New Zealand rejected his motion early last week, The New Zealand Herald reported.

The outlet also reported women were encouraging others to boycott any music events he was promoting after his name was released.

Alvarez gushed to Stuff just last week that he was behind Snoop's upcoming gig in NZ, gloating ... “Snoop Dogg’s team contacted us directly, wanting to stop in New Zealand for a special performance on his way to Australia."

The outlet reports Alvarez was also involved in the cancelled Juicy Festival, which was cut after promoters failed to obtain a liquor license.

3:57 PM PT -- ABC 7 Los Angeles reports forensics determined the victim was a female between 14 and 15 years old, according to the outlets sources.

Los Angeles authorities have identified the body found in the trunk of singer D4vd's car, TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... the deceased has been identified, yet, the legal next of kin notification is still pending -- and so, they're unable to release the name at this time.

We spoke to multiple law enforcement sources yesterday, who said they had yet to identify the body or the driver ... so, it seems the body was identified in the last 24 hours.

That's right -- the "Cliché" hitmaker headed to Harvard University this week to give a lucky business school class a lecture. He shared several pics of his visit on Insta, joking that "harvard has a new professor" in his caption.

It's not clear what he taught -- the business of the music industry might be a good guess -- but he certainly looked the part, looking dapper in gray trousers and a plaid dress shirt. He layered his smart 'fit with a brown leather jacket and accessorized with a bedazzled silver necklace and a maroon and gold tie with Harvard's logo. Oh, and you can't forget his "lost americana" -- his most recent album -- baseball cap.

It's tiiiiime!!!
