D4vd’s Music Scrubbed From Streaming Platforms Petition Launched

D4vd is facing intensified industry pressure following his arrest over the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, as advocacy organization Industry Blackout launched a petition demanding that streaming platforms remove his entire music catalog. The petition is now available for signup on Change.org.

In a public Instagram statement, the group described the case as a defining moment for how the music business responds to serious criminal accusations involving artists. “We… are calling on music streaming platforms and industry stakeholders to remove all music by the artist D4VD from their catalogs,” the organization wrote.

The post outlines the charges filed against Burke. The popular act’s charges include first-degree murder with special circumstances, sexual abuse of a minor, and mutilation of human remains. The victim’s identity, the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime, and the framing of the case for immediate industry action.

Industry Blackout argues that streaming services carry legal and cultural responsibility beyond content distribution. “Music streaming platforms have a responsibility to curate content that aligns with societal values of respect and decency,” the group stated.

Petition For The Removal of D4vd’s Music From All Platforms Launched By Advocates Against Violence In The Music Industry Group

The message positions companies such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music as gatekeepers with influence over public consumption. Interscope Records, D4vd’s home label, has scrubbed any knowledge of the recording artist from their website.

The petition further contends that continued access to Burke’s music risks broader harm. “Allowing artists who perpetuate negative stereotypes or promote harmful behavior to have a platform is counterproductive to the global fight against domestic violence and abuse,” the statement reads.

The group links the availability of content directly to cultural impact and public safety concerns. It calls for immediate removal of the catalog and urges supporters to sign and tag industry leaders.

“We urge music streaming platforms to take immediate action,” the post states.

The campaign reflects growing tension between the presumption of innocence, corporate risk management, and public demands for ethical accountability.

D4vd entered a “not guilty” plea on Monday, April 20, in a Los Angeles court.
