D4vd's Apple Music Was Hacked With Fake 'I Did It' Track as 21-Year-Old Faces Murder Hearings

Q: Who uploaded “I Did It” to D4vd’s Apple Music, and was the viral track meant to manipulate a murder case narrative?

No one has been publicly identified as the uploader of “I Did It,” and there is no verified evidence yet showing it was part of a deliberate effort to manipulate the murder-case narrative. What is known is that the track appeared on D4vd’s Apple Music while David Anthony Burke was in Los Angeles County Jail awaiting hearings, making it highly unlikely he uploaded it himself. TMZ and other reports said the release was unauthorized and likely tied to a hacked or otherwise compromised account. Apple Music has not publicly confirmed how the song was posted or by whom. The circumstances fueled suspicion. The track reportedly reused or resembled an older leaked demo connected to “Celeste,” and its artwork allegedly referenced Burke’s impounded Tesla, where Hernandez’s body was found. A similar unexplained upload, “Marcescence,” had also briefly appeared on his Spotify account days earlier before being removed. Those details suggest someone with access to unreleased material or archival content may have been involved. But the motive remains unproven. Because the song’s timing coincided with Burke’s preliminary hearing and many listeners interpreted it as a confession, it plainly had the effect of shaping online discussion. Even so, there is no confirmed evidence from investigators, Apple, or Burke’s legal team showing the uploader intended to sway public opinion, taint proceedings, or manipulate the case narrative. At this stage, that remains speculation.

TMZ reported that a fake track titled “I Did It” was uploaded to D4vd’s Apple Music account late July 25, fueling viral claims that the jailed singer had confessed in song.
Los Angeles County Jail restrictions undercut that claim: D4vd, 21, is in custody and has no ability to record or release music, according to the report.
The song spread quickly because its lyrics appeared to reference 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose 2025 killing is the subject of preliminary hearings resuming Monday in Los Angeles.
Court testimony last week included autopsy findings of two puncture wounds and text evidence prosecutors say supports a financial motive, with LAPD alleging exposure of the relationship could have cost D4vd up to $10 million.
