Questions are circulating online over whether investigators have secured rapper and singer D4vd's phone following claims that his Discord account briefly appeared active after the arrest connected to the Celeste Rivas murder case.
In the subreddit r/d4vdiots, users reacted with confusion, anger and speculation after screenshots suggested the account may have gone online for a short period.
There is no official confirmation from law enforcement or representatives for the artist. The claims originate from social media users tracking his online activity in real time, with many questioning whether the activity was the artist himself or authorities accessing his devices following arrest procedures.
The post claimed the account linked to D4vd appeared online briefly, described by one user as lasting 'just for like 20 seconds or smth.'
Some users expressed concern that the appearance could indicate the suspect was still accessing social media. Others suggested a more procedural explanation, including the possibility that investigators or law enforcement may have been reviewing or operating seized devices.
One commenter wrote that the situation was not unusual, arguing that individuals under investigation often remain digitally visible for periods depending on account status and platform activity.
'This is not a surprise. D4vd is an iPad baby, plus he is addicted to the internet just like his friend Aysia. It is not a crime for him to be online. That is probably all he does nowadays,' one commenter said.
Another user questioned whether platforms like Discord should suspend accounts more quickly once serious allegations emerge, though others pushed back, noting that formal legal thresholds typically determine such actions. None of these claims has been independently verified.
It is quite common for police to take a suspect's phone after an arrest, especially if it may contain evidence relevant to an investigation. Phones are often central to modern cases as they can hold messages, call records, photos, location data and activity from apps such as Discord or Snapchat. However, even when a device is seized at the time of arrest, investigators do not automatically gain immediate access to its contents.
In most legal systems, including the US and UK, a warrant is usually required before the contents of a phone can be searched. The device is treated as highly private, similar to a home or personal papers, and strict rules govern when and how it can be examined.
