The Apple Music page for D4vd, who has been charged in the murder of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was hacked to post a fake song titled 'I DID IT...'
A timestamp indicated that the track was posted to the page on Saturday, as D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, remains in custody in Los Angeles with no access to post the clip on his own.
The song was accompanied by an overhead photo of D4vd's Tesla held in a Southern California tow facility, in which Rivas Hernandez's body was recovered by authorities last September.
The track, which featured vocals that sounded like D4vd, included the lyrics 'I love you so so much' and 'Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest/ smell her on my clothes like cigarettes.'
Other references in the fake track include lyrics such as, 'Hear her voice every time I take a breath/I'm obsessed.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for D4vd and Apple Music for further comment on the story but have not yet heard back.

The track was posted following a week of legal proceedings which saw prosecutors in the case present evidence which they say linked the musical artist to the murder of the teenager.
D4vd, who has pleaded not guilty to murder, sexual abuse of a child and mutilation of a body, remains in custody without bail. His lawyers have said he is innocent.
Text messages between D4vd and Rivas Hernandez shown in court Friday indicate she had gotten pregnant at age 13 and had an abortion more than a year before she was killed.
In one exchange in early January 2024, D4vd apologized for 'putting her through this.'
'It's okay,' she said in a text, 'neither of us are capable of watching and taking care of the baby. it's for the best no?'
He later apologized again before asking if it's his, and she replied, 'of course it's yours David.'
The testimony came during a preliminary hearing where a judge will decide if D4vd should go on trial in Rivas Hernandez's killing.
Prosecutors are seeking to prove Burke began sexually abusing Rivas Hernandez when she was 13 and he was 18, then stabbed her to death when she threatened to reveal their long sexual history and crater a career that had earned him millions.

They allege he dismembered the body in his garage, and a police analyst testified in the preliminary hearing that samples pulled from apparent blood stains there matched Rivas Hernandez's DNA.
Her body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla that had been towed from the Hollywood Hills in September, nearly five months after authorities said she was killed. The Tesla was registered to D4vd.
Prosecutors spent Friday afternoon detailing the nature of the relationship between D4vd and Rivas Hernandez. Photos of the two of them kissing and lying in bed were shown in court. The pictures showed that she had 'David' tattooed in red ink on a finger — one of two that had been cut off when her body was found.
Then Los Angeles police detective Corey Farrell described one-by-one more than three dozen photos of the two of them that could not be shown in court because they depicted explicit sexual abuse. Rivas Hernandez was 13 and 14 in the photos.
Rivas Hernandez's mother began crying and her father looked down as the detective began describing the images.
Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman came over to comfort the mother, Mercedes Martinez, and the couple got up and left the courtroom.
The images were recovered from his iPhone that was seized during a search of his home.
The text message conversations taken from his iCloud account often discussed contraception and pregnancy, and in early January 2024, they discuss the abortion.

In a text conversation months later, she says she regretted that she 'took a innocent life of a literal baby.'
She asked D4vd if anyone knows if they had sex, and he replied, 'Nope and i want to keep it that way until we married.'
Rivas Hernandez turned 14 in September 2024 and soon after traveled with Burke to London and to Texas to meet his family.
Messages after that show tension growing between them.
In one text in November 2024, she says: 'i literally had sex with you for almost a year straight.' He tells her she's acting like it's their first breakup when it's their eighth.
The detective returns to the stand Monday for the fifth and likely final day of the preliminary hearing.
