Caleb Burke, the younger brother of singer D4vd, has finally spoken out after social media rumors and tabloid reports thrust him into the middle of the case linked to Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
In two Instagram Stories shared on May 7, Caleb vehemently denied allegations that he helped Celeste get backstage at a D4vd concert years ago. He also criticized outlets like TMZ and the Daily Mail for accusing him of using the situation to draw attention to his music career. Caleb explained that many people online were wrongly saying that he knew what was going on around his brother and was protecting him. However, he said this is not entirely true.
Caleb explained that he had not lived with D4vd for years and that they had not been very close growing up. According to him, they only talk occasionally during family visits or tours.The controversy began after TMZ published a report on May 5 claiming that Caleb was preparing to release music focused on romance and relationships while D4vd was facing serious legal trouble linked to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Caleb responded by saying that people are spreading false stories without understanding the full situation. He also stressed that his focus remained on wanting justice for Celeste and not raising the case himself.

He explained that he has actually been sharing music online for the past three to four years.
