The tweet went viral, garnering over 75,000 likes. Netizens stated that the music video made them uncomfortable. One user (@bigsar005) noted that predators try to hide abuse as "art" and "romanticize" the manipulation.

"It's hard to unsee that now… makes the whole video feel disturbing in hindsight," one netizen wrote.

"Tbh predators aren't sloppy, they hide in plain sight. they dress abuse up as 'art,' sprinkle some aesthetics on it, and call it creativity. But that's the trick: make it look deep so nobody calls it what it really is. it's not romance, it's manipulation. It's not poetry, it's propaganda for their sickness. They romanticize the violence so you clap for it instead of calling it out," another X user added.

"First time seeing the MV and he's a complete psycho. Wild that it's only now catching up to him," one user wrote.

Some netizens pointed out the bloody imagery in the music video and D4vd's lyrics, which stated killing someone they loved in the back of their mind.

The X users shared that after seeing the music video, they felt emotions they could not explain.

"We should start taking songs lyrics serious, bro is already putting pieces out one by one," one netizen stated.

"Most of the music videos I have seen from him remind me of celeste.. there are also many pictures of him with blood on his hands as some kind of symbolism.. I honestly can't even describe what I feel right now," another X user wrote.

"His music videos give me serious Celeste vibes, and the blood-on-hands imagery… I have no words for what I'm feeling," one user noted.

Netizens went through D4vd's Discord server

Celeste Rivas's mother told TMZ that her daughter mentioned dating a man named David. Netizens quickly started observing the musician's Discord server, where they found pictures of him with a young girl, who is reportedly Celeste.

D4vd's fans also spread screenshots from his server, in which he could be seen mentioning Celeste multiple times. Netizens noticed the timeline of events and speculated that Celeste Rivas allegedly started dating D4vd when she was 12 years old.

It is to be noted that none of the rumors have been verified.

He has not commented on the netizens' speculations and the pictures and messages found on his Discord server. Stay tuned for more updates on D4vd and the Celeste Rivas case.
