Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- David “D4vd” Burke was arrested in April in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in Burke’s impounded Tesla last September.
- Burke’s music, featured in projects like Fortnite, is now under scrutiny as companies reassess their association with him ahead of his trial in June.
- The League of Legends animated series Arcane on Netflix featured Burke’s song “Remember Me,” but the track has recently been removed from official platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Riot Games’ YouTube channel.
- Despite removals from official sources, “Remember Me” remains accessible on unofficial YouTube channels, including a 2024 Game Awards performance video featuring Burke.
- Netflix and Riot Games appear to be distancing themselves from Burke by removing his music to avoid association with the ongoing legal case.
