The tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has left fans and the public searching for answers, prompting D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, to address circulating rumors. Marshall, who uses the handle JMogul on TikTok, commented on a recent video to clarify his position and distance himself from speculation.
“This has been a tough time for my family as I am a father of 3 children,” Marshall wrote.
“I never received any emails. I had zero knowledge of anything and I don’t live in California. Also I work remotely 95% of the time and my job doesn’t require me to have much interaction with any of my clients/David as there are many others that work with him on a day-to-day capacity, not me.”
Clarifying His Role
Marshall stressed that while he manages D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, he is not involved in the musician’s daily operations. He urged the public to stop speculating and let authorities handle the investigation:
“This news is tragic for so many and for her family. I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon.”
His comments came as a response to widespread online chatter linking him to the case, which Marshall firmly denied.
