Uchis came under fire in her Sept. 11 Instagram post, as fans called her out for her relationship with D4vd.

“Not my friend i did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news,” she wrote in response.

Others came to Uchis’ defense and she fired back at the detractors. “Its ok bb people like her are why women always get blamed for the things men do lol, the internalized misogyny of this world I suppose,” she responded to another commenter, according to Complex.

Billboard has reached out to D4vd for comment.

“Crashing” landed on D4vd’s Withered debut album, which arrived in April via Darkroom/Interscope Records. An accompanying visual for the track was released in February and has more than four million views on YouTube.

After the body was found in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla in a Hollywood Tow lot earlier in September, authorities identified the body as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas.

She was reported missing after last being seen in April 2024 in Riverside County. Her remains were discovered when police were alerted to a “foul odor” coming from the impounded car.

D4vd (born David Anthony Burke) is currently on the road as part of his Withered World Tour, but canceled his Seattle show on Wednesday night (Sept. 17).
