D4vd Was Making Big Money as Minor With Lucrative Record Deal

D4vd, the emerging pop artist, was raking in the cash as he wrapped up his high school years, having signed a record deal at just 17 that promised to fill his pockets with an impressive multi-million dollar advance.

Following some investigative sleuthing, TMZ uncovered the details of D4vd’s contract with Darkroom and Interscope Records… a document that found its way into the public court record.

D4vd officially signed the dotted line in September 2022, securing a contract that initiated a $3 million advance for his EP, debut album, and a variety of additional projects.

This lucrative deal began with a $500,000 initial payment, followed closely by $250,000, and culminating in a staggering $2,250,000 payout. The contract suggests that, under favorable circumstances, the total could swell to $6 million.

It’s evident D4vd was financially abundant not long ago, evident in his choice of transport — a Tesla — and his rental abode, a lavish $20,000-a-month residence nestled in the Hollywood Hills.

Curiously, this Tesla drew the attention of law enforcement when they discovered the body of the missing teenage girl Celeste Rivas. The remains of her tragically cut-up body were found just before her 15th birthday.

D4vd’s vehicle was eventually towed from the vicinity of his posh Hollywood Hills dwelling, where he resided with his manager. Cops conducted a thorough search of the area in connection to Celeste’s death.

The investigation into Celeste’s tragic passing continues, as details reveal she had previously run away from home twice in 2024, once being located in Hollywood before being returned to her family in Lake Elsinore. The cause of death remains unidentified, and no suspect has yet been named by authorities.

Since signing the contract, D4vd has released two EPs and his debut studio album. He was in the midst of a world tour when news broke of Celeste’s body being discovered in his vehicle. Following this, the tour has been canceled, and Interscope has placed a halt on all promotions for his soon-to-be-released deluxe album, although they have yet to officially sever ties with the artist.
