D4vd’s Former Friend Says She Wants Justice for Celeste Rivas as Murder Case Continues
As D4vd‘s preliminary hearing continues in Los Angeles, one of the people who once knew the singer personally is publicly distancing herself from him and calling for justice for Celeste Rivas.
Aysia Collins, who says she previously worked with D4vd, has addressed criticism she has received online over her former friendship with the artist. In a recent statement, Collins said she ended her support for D4vd after learning about the allegations against him and has fully cooperated with investigators throughout the case.
Her comments come as prosecutors continue presenting evidence during the ongoing preliminary hearing, where a judge is determining whether there is enough evidence for the criminal case to proceed to trial.
Aysia Collins Responds to Online Backlash
In a video shared publicly, Collins discussed her past connection to D4vd and explained why she believes public criticism directed toward her is misplaced.
According to Collins, she first met the singer while modeling on one of his creative projects before later working as a stylist during one of his tours.
She said the two were never romantically involved, directly rejecting speculation suggesting they had dated.
Instead, Collins said she cut ties with D4vd after learning about the allegations against him.
She also stated that she has cooperated with investigators because her priority is seeing justice served for Celeste Rivas.
“All I want to do is get justice for Celeste Rivas!” Collins said in the video.
She argued that targeting people who previously crossed paths with D4vd distracts from the central issue—the criminal case itself and the pursuit of justice for the alleged victim.
Previous Claims About D4vd and Celeste Rivas
Collins has spoken publicly about the case before.
As previously reported, she claimed she confronted D4vd regarding his alleged relationship with Celeste Rivas when Rivas was 13 years old.
According to Collins, D4vd allegedly convinced her that Rivas was actually 19 years old by showing her unspecified “proof.”
Those claims have been reported by TMZ. They have not been established as fact in court, and the criminal proceedings remain ongoing.
Because the case is active, the allegations continue to be subject to judicial review.
The Criminal Case Against D4vd
D4vd was arrested in April and is charged with one count of murder, one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and one count of unlawful mutilation of human remains.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The preliminary hearing entered its second day as prosecutors continued presenting testimony and evidence intended to persuade a judge that sufficient probable cause exists for the case to move forward to trial.
A preliminary hearing is not a determination of guilt or innocence. Instead, it is a legal proceeding used to decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence for a trial.
Why Collins’ Comments Matter
Collins’ public statement adds another voice to the growing discussion surrounding one of the entertainment industry’s most closely watched criminal cases.
Rather than commenting on the evidence presented in court, she focused on her own experience and the criticism she says she has received because of her former association with D4vd.
Her remarks also reflect the broader impact criminal allegations can have on people connected to a defendant, even when they are not accused of any wrongdoing themselves.
At the same time, Collins repeatedly emphasized that she believes public attention should remain centered on Celeste Rivas rather than on individuals who once worked alongside the singer.
Human Angle
For Collins, speaking publicly appears to be an attempt to separate herself from a relationship she says ended once she became aware of the allegations.
Her message was less about defending her past and more about urging people to remember the person at the center of the case.
As the legal proceedings continue, she says her focus remains unchanged: supporting the investigation and hoping justice is ultimately served for Celeste Rivas, while the court determines the outcome of the charges against D4vd.
