Arcane Pulls D4vd Song From 3 Platforms as Murder Case Heads to June Trial
5 articles · Updated · Kotaku · May 18
“Remember Me” disappeared from the Arcane soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music and Riot’s official YouTube music channel, signaling a broader effort to cut D4vd’s ties to the franchise.
David “D4vd” Burke was arrested in April in the death investigation of California teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in an impounded Tesla linked to the singer; the case is set for trial in June.
The track still remains in episode 6 of Arcane’s second and final season, though Netflix has previously edited released episodes, leaving open the possibility of a later removal.
The takedown extends a wider brand retreat around Burke, whose music had also appeared in projects such as Fortnite as partners reassess collaborations ahead of trial.
Why did Fortnite offer refunds for D4vd's skin while League of Legends completely erased his song from their soundtrack?
With a defense claiming one-sided evidence, what key facts could potentially exonerate singer D4vd in his upcoming murder trial?
