NEW YORK — Singer Kali Uchis is hoping to disassociate herself from R&B artist D4vd following the discovery of a 15-year-old dead girl’s body in a Tesla registered to him.

The Grammy Award winner announced Thursday she is removing their recent collaboration, “Crashing,” from platforms after a social media user called attention to the unfolding situation regarding the suspicious death and D4vd’s possible association.

The singer, whose full name is David Anthony Burke has not been charged with a crime and is said to be cooperating with the investigation

“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 to a fan’s Instagram comment.

She responded to another IG user, who came to her defense, that this is the reason “why women always get blamed for the things men do” and cited what she called “internalized misogyny of this world.”

Earlier in the month, the decomposing body of a teenager was found in an impounded Tesla registered to the Queens-born artist, days after it was impounded at a tow yard in Los Angeles, according to reports.

On Wednesday, the girl was identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, who had been missing for more than a year.

She was reported missing after leaving her family’s home in Lake Elsinore, Calif. on April 5, 2024. A since-deleted missing persons flyer posted on Facebook around the time said she was only 13 years old when she was last seen.

Rivas’ mother told TMZ that her daughter had a boyfriend named David.

Both D4vd, 20, and the deceased girl had identical tattoos of the term “Shhh…” on their right index fingers. One of his reported leaked songs, titled “Celeste,” pays tribute to a love interest with the same name as Rivas.

Uchis, 31, collaborated with the “Romantic Homicide” crooner on “Crashing” from his debut album, “Withered,” which was released in April. Both music acts appeared in a music video for the pop ballad.

The “Drunken Babble” artist isn’t the only artist keeping a distance from D4vd. Amid the investigation, other music acts including Daniel Caesar, Ice Spice and Tyler, the Creator reportedly unfollowed him on social media.

He cancelled a scheduled Seattle tour stop on Wednesday after Rivas’ identity was confirmed.
