Artists Remove D4vd Collabs After Arrest

The music world is reacting to the recent arrest of rising artist D4vd. As the legal situation unfolds, several musicians who have previously collaborated with the “Romantic Homicide” singer are taking steps to distance themselves by removing their joint tracks from digital streaming platforms (DSPs).

Collaborations Pulled Amidst Legal Troubles

Reports indicate that a growing list of artists are choosing to remove their featured songs with D4vd. Among the notable names is Kali Uchis, who had her collaboration “Crashing” taken down. Interestingly, this track was originally part of D4vd’s debut album, WITHERED. Uchis had previously addressed the song’s status back in September during the initial investigation into Celeste Rivas, affirming that it would be removed due to the “disturbing news.”

Following Uchis’s move, other artists have also decided to pull their collaborations. The list now includes Laufey, Bryant Barnes, Damiano David (lead singer of Måneskin), and Holly Humberstone. This collective action signals a significant move by artists to disassociate from D4vd amidst the serious allegations he faces.

Public Reaction and Remaining Tracks

The decision to remove these collaborations has sparked discussion online. Some commenters are calling out The Kid LAROI for keeping his song with D4vd, titled “THE LINE,” available on streaming services. This track was featured on a deluxe version of his 2023 album, THE FIRST TIME.

This news comes shortly after details emerged about D4vd’s jail conditions. The 21-year-old artist is reportedly being held in isolation in a single-person cell at the L.A. County Men’s Central Jail. His interactions are severely limited, with no visitors allowed, only three hours of fresh air per week, and restricted access to amenities like TV and money. Phone calls are permitted only every other day, and the facility is described as “dirty and smells.”

Looking Ahead

The removal of these collaborations marks a significant consequence for D4vd’s career as artists and labels move to distance themselves. The ongoing legal proceedings and the impact on his music’s availability are significant developments in the young artist’s journey.
