Spotify and Apple Music are under growing pressure to yank D4vd's music off their platforms completely after he was recently charged with sexually abusing and murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivasjust over a year ago.
The advocacy group Industry Blackout launched a Change.org petition calling on Spotify, Apple and other streaming services to axe all his music from their catalogs, writing ... "When an artist has been charged with the sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. It is not a neutral one."
The petition has under 1,000 signatures so far, but it comes as artists have distanced themselves from the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. Rolling Stone reports his former collaborators Kali Uchis, Holly Humberstone, Laufey and Damiano David have all cut their collaborations from streaming platforms with the help of UMG.
D4vd pled not guilty ... but do you believe him? Plus, the TMZ DC boys have taken The Hill by storm and the "Summer House" love triangle continues to dominate the Bravo-verse. So, we gotta ask ...
Big changes with "The White Lotus" only days into filming ... Helena Bonham Carter is OUT!!!
TMZ has confirmed Helena's departure from the show, which just started filming about a week ago in France, and her role will be rewritten and recast.
In a statement, a rep for HBO tells TMZ ... "With filming just underway on season four of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set."
"The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks. HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon."
It's another sad day for '90s kids. Just like the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot, the new "Clueless" series has been canned ... but there is light at the end of the tunnel for Cher.
Insiders tell TMZ ... Peacock has decided not to move forward with development of the series based on the beloved 1990s flick starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and the late Brittany Murphy.
But, we hear that does not mean the series is dead -- it will continue to be developed while it's shopped around by CBS Studios -- the IP being a Paramount property. Silverstone was attached to reprise her iconic character, Cher.
And as far as songs go ... Taylor's not in the Top 20 at all. The Weeknd takes the cake there with "Blinding Lights" going down in history as Spotify's most-streamed song of all time.
Drake’s icy album rollout didn’t just melt ... it got smashed open by a streamer who walked away with the grand prize.
Twitch streamer Kishka was one of the many fans trying to crack the code -- after The Boy hinted the release date was buried inside a massive ice block installation outside Toronto's Bond Place Hotel. Kishka even live-streamed himself climbing on top of the structure … eventually pulling out a blue bag stamped with the words, “Freeze the world" -- and things escalated quickly.
A former homicide prosecutor in California says the severe decomposition of Celeste Rivas' body shouldn't be a huge hurdle in the murder case against D4vd.
Matt Murphy, who prosecuted murder cases for 2 decades down in Orange County, joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and -- based on that experience -- added his 2 cents on D4vd's arrest.
The critical piece of evidence is Celeste's manner of death ... and a high-ranking LAPD source told us the L.A. County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.
D4vd's arrest Thursday came 7 months after Celeste's chopped up and decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla ... and a source connected to the M.E. previously told us they had trouble determining the manner of death because of the state of the body when it was found.
Kevin Hart’s preaching the gospel of gains -- but he’s giving all the credit to his guy Mark Wahlberg ... saying nobody’s doing it like the king of those brutal 4 AM workouts.
TMZ caught up with Kevin at Wally’s in Beverly Hills Wednesday -- and he kept it playful, clowning Mark’s routine as "s***" before flipping it, joking the 54-year-old’s actually 75 and deserves even more credit.
Check the video -- Kevin goes full fanboy over Mark’s grind, which he recently told us is so intense even Druskihad to tap out when he joined him for a session.
But Kev’s not just hyping his boy -- he also gets into his own health kick, showing love to the gym life and shouting out his workout circle along the way.
Safe to say ... Kev is getting hard from his workouts AND over Mark's gainz.
Clavicular's entourage is a little smaller after his suspected overdose last night ... his friend Androgenic who flew out from Australia to be a side character on his live stream just got kicked to the curb ... and it sounds like Adderall is to blame.
Sources close to Clavicular tell TMZ ... people in the streamer's inner circle felt the Australian was a bad influence ... and the dude raised concerns when he appeared to offer Clav an Adderall during the possible overdose incident.
We're told Clav had been keeping the guy around because he's another "looksmaxxer," and Clav wasn't buying the bad influence claims ... but that all changed today -- our sources say Clav's security escorted the friend out of Clav's house, and Clav didn't try to stop it.
Clavicularwas back in action Wednesday night at the grand opening of Miami Beach’s first streaming nightclub, Bacara Club, and helped tear off the roof with rapper Blueface.
TMZ obtained video of Blueface commanding the stage at the Florida club as he bobbed his head to Fun's "We Are Young" with a group while up on stage. Clav is right there with him, taking in all the vibes from the crowd ... nodding his head and singing along.
BTW, Clavicular is a major Blueface fan ... the streamer had Blueface on his stream about a month ago and rapped his "Respect My Cryppin'" word-for-word.
Clavicularis back home after being rushed to the hospital Tuesday night following a suspected overdose ... and he claimed his situation was so serious he was given a life support mask.
He updated concerned fans on X Wednesday morning by sharing a selfie showing red markings on his face and admitted he used substances to feel "neurotypical," leading to the scary situation.
The "looksmaxxing" influencer penned ... "Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask."
Sneako was minding his business, streaming and walking down a New York City sidewalk when all of a sudden he got sneak attacked ... a man sucker punched him in the face and took him to the ground ... and it's all on video.
The famous streamer was looking down at his phone when he walked by a man who appeared to be waiting for him ... the aggressor unleashed a right hook that hit Sneako in the face, and then he took Sneako to the pavement.
Following the sucker punch, the camera goes to the ground too ... and it sounds like a struggle ensued ... plus, there are lots of expletives.
The photog got up and ran off ... and Sneako later posted about the incident on social media, saying ... "Im fine we got it handled."
