D4vd Pleads Not Guilty Amid Legal Shake-up | Charlotte News

D4vd, the teen pop star turned legal nightmare, just entered a not guilty plea to murder, sexual abuse, and dismemberment charges — all tied to the death of a 14-year-old who allegedly threatened to ruin his career.

Once a TikTok and Spotify sensation blending indie rock and lo-fi pop, D4vd’s rise may now be buried under the weight of this case.
