Singer D4vd says he is unable to afford legal representation during court proceedings in the Celeste Rivas murder case. One report says his legal team withdraws after the claim, and a public defender is appointed. Another outlet reports the same proceeding as a turning point that leaves the case needing new defense arrangements.
D4vd’s family responds to the dispute over his finances, with reporting describing efforts to raise money for attorneys, including selling a Texas home and taking out a loan. At the same time, Celeste Rivas’ family expresses skepticism about D4vd’s indigence claim, pointing to his reported success from streaming and other business activity. Across the coverage, the families’ positions diverge: Rivas’ family presses for accountability and justice for Celeste, while D4vd’s side links the change in legal representation to alleged inability to pay.
