D4vd has removed the bloody shirt merchandise from his website as police continue to investigate the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose butchered corpse was discovered in a Tesla registered in his name this month.

You can see the singer was selling white button-down shirts splattered with fake blood for $35 on his official site ... until sometime in the last 48 hours, when the apparel was removed.

Cardi B spared no venom, toxins, or ether towards her opps with her explosive new album, "Am I The Drama?" -- she's lyrically kickin' ass and naming names!!!

The album took 7 years to drop, and Cardi doesn't hold back on her feelings about superstardom, her divorce with Offset, and pesky rap competition ... ESPECIALLY when it comes to rapper BIA.

Cardi and BIA have had their back-and-forth beef for years and on the track "Pretty & Petty," Cardi snipes the "Whole Lotta Money" rapper with an opening line that already lives in hip hop infamy ... "Name five BIA songs, gun pointin' to your head -- Bow, I'm dead."

Stefon Diggs went all out for Cardi B's big night ... gifting his girl a flower surprise so big, it had to be delivered on a flatbed truck!!

D4vd's last post on Instagram promotes the deluxe version of his album, "Withered," which dropped in April. It's due out Friday.

D4vd and Celeste Rivas -- the 15-year-old girl found dead in his car -- are very much on the radar of one of Celeste's former school teachers ... who's now flaunting what he claims to know about their relationship.

The science teacher busted out his phone Thursday in class and told students he had taught Celeste years ago. He showed off a pic of himself with Celeste in front of a poster -- which he still has -- and said she'd "been missing since I taught her."

Remember, Celeste went missing in early 2024, and the teacher claims she first disappeared after meeting singer D4vd (the teacher calls him a rapper) on social media.

On Thursday, King Combs released the somber music video for his Kanye West and Stevie J-produced "Lonely Roads" track ... the opening song from the EP he released on the cusp of Diddy being found guilty on two violations of the Mann Act, while dodging the most major charges he had been facing.

The visual opens with an image of the late Kim Porter and shows Christian interacting with his siblings as he wrestles with the void his dad left by being absent from the house.

David Geffen says he's ready to move on from his marriage and be an unmarried man again ... and he's even prepared to cut some big checks to his estranged husband.

The catch here ... Geffen says the payments should only last for 12 months and be retroactive to their split ... adding he should get credit for whatever he's shelled out already.
