Crocs and Hollister have removed singer D4vd from their latest campaign following an investigation into a woman’s death. A body was discovered in a car registered to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, in a Hollywood tow yard on September 8. The Los Angeles Police Department found the body in a body bag inside the impounded Tesla car.
The LA County Medical Examiner identified the body as a female, 5 feet 1 inch tall, with a tattoo on her right finger that reads “Shh…” The car is registered to Burke, and his representative stated that he is fully cooperating with the authorities.
As a result, Crocs and Hollister have dropped D4vd from their campaign, removing all images featuring him from their channels. The decision was made in light of the ongoing investigation. The brands released a joint statement, saying, “We are aware of this developing story. With respect to the current situation, we have removed campaign content featuring D4vd while the investigation continues.”
The campaign promoted the “Classic Unfurgettable Crocs,” a collaboration between Crocs and Hollister that combined Crocs’ classic footwear with Hollister’s fleece. The collaboration featured D4vd and was launched on September 2.
Despite the situation, D4vd’s World Tour is continuing as planned. The singer is currently touring in support of his debut studio album, Withered, which was released on April 25. His next performance is scheduled for September 10 at the Truman in Kansas City, Missouri.
The investigation into the woman’s death is ongoing, and no further details have been released. D4vd’s team has not commented on the potential impact of the investigation on his tour or future performances. The removal of D4vd from the Crocs and Hollister campaign reflects the brands’ decision to distance themselves from the singer during the investigation.
