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 Rivas just 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.

Bryan was charged with murdering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He later pleaded guilty to butchering the students with a Ka-bar knife as they slept in beds inside an Idaho home. Under a plea deal, Bryan was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison.

Beyoncé was seen blushing over Michael Jackson in a resurfaced video of the late pop star's secret reality show that ended up being scrapped, TMZ has learned. 

Marc Schaffel, a longtime producer and friend of MJ, tells TMZ the footage was shot between 2000 and 2003. He is currently shopping the reality show footage to various streamers for a potential three-part docu-series. 

The video of Beyoncé was shot in 2001 following September 11. The "Crazy in Love" singer recorded a charity single, put together by Michael, to raise money. The song was not promoted at the time, with many believing it was due to his feud with Sony. 

The song was set to be released again in 2003, both in English and Spanish, and a music video was even shot. However, the song was pulled again due to Michael's legal issues.

Marc tells TMZ that he is going to be shopping the footage around to streaming services as a positive three-part docu-series.
