Did Bryan Kohberger rap? Alivea Goncalves, rapper Diss, goes viral

As news of Bryan Kohberger's sentencing made headlines, an impact statement by one of the victims' sisters, Alivea Goncalve, went viral. On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, a judge at Idaho's Fourth District Court sentenced Kohberger to four consecutive life sentences for the murder of four University of Idaho students in November 2022.
During the hearing, family members of the four slain—Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves—gave emotional impact statements. Kaylee's sister, Alivea, spoke directly to Kohberger, detailing the brutal nature of the crime and its impact. She went on to mock him, saying:

"How does it feel to know that the only thing you failed more miserably at than being a murderer is trying to be a rapper?"

Alivea Goncalves to basic #BryanKohberger: "The only thing you failed more miserably at is trying to be rapper.

"Did you start shaving or pulling out your eyebrows?

"How do you stargaze with such a miserable case of visual snow?

Alivea was referencing the track Bryan shared on SoundCloud in 2021 under the username Exarr. According to the NY Post, he called himself the "devil" in the song. Elsewhere, he rapped:

"End your life you get no sequel / Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls."

Earlier this month, Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to all the charges levied against him to avoid the death penalty. Throughout the trial, he offered no explanations or motive for the crime. On Wednesday, he only spoke once to decline the offer to speak.

Alivea Goncalves told Bryan Kohberger Kaylee would have kicked his "f**king ass" if he hadn't attacked them in the "middle of the night" while they were asleep

In her statement, Alivea Goncalve described Bryan Kohberger as a "sociopath" and "psychopath," adding:

"I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't offer you tears, I won't offer you trembling. Disappointments like you thrive on pain, on fear, and on the illusion of power."

Alivea spoke about her sister Kaylee and her best friend, Madison Mogen, calling them "vibrant, accomplished, brave, and powerful." Noting that Mogen was like a sister to her, she added:

"When I heard the news, I didn't cry, I listened for them. I promised them I would. That I would fight for them, that I would show up, no matter what it cost me."

Alivea also directed questions at Bryan Kohberger, asking about the murders, his motivations, and the murder weapon. She even inquired about her sister's last words. She concluded her powerful and emotionally charged statement, telling Bryan if he hadn't attacked them "in their sleep," in the "middle of the night," Kaylee would have kicked his "f**king ass."

Kaylee's mother, Kristi Goncalves, too, read her statement, telling Bryan Kohberger "hell will be waiting" for him, adding that he would live his "life in misery." Meanwhile, her husband, Steve, noted that he had "lost control," adding:

"You tried to plant fear, you tried to divide us, you failed. Instead, your actions have united everyone in their disgust for you."

Mogen's grandmother, Kim Cheeley, said finding out about Madison's death was "debilitating," highlighting her trauma and grief. Xana's stepfather. Randy Davis called Kohberger "evil" before adding that he was going to go to hell. Ethan Chapin's family chose not to attend the sentencing.

Bryan Kohberger has been sentenced to four consecutive life sentences in prison without parole, alongside another ten years for burglary, per NBC News. He also has to pay a fine of $50,000 per count and a civil penalty of $5,000 for each victim.
