TL;DR
  • Jason retracted his early defense of d4vd and claims he had no knowledge of the homicide case beforehand.
  • The streamer clarified he and d4vd were professional acquaintances rather than close friends.
  • He won't comment further on the investigation into Celeste Rivas's death and is letting law enforcement handle it.

Jasontheween opened his stream at Camp Peak with an unexpected announcement. Before rejoining group activities, he needed to address his earlier comments about the d4vd investigation.

“I had no prior knowledge of this incident,” Jason said during the stream. He retracted statements made when the news first broke linking the artist to a homicide case. His tone was notably different from days earlier when he had defended d4vd on stream.

The investigation centers on the death of Celeste Rivas, whose remains were discovered in a vehicle connected to d4vd. Police have not released full details about the ongoing case. The artist behind viral hits like “Romantic Homicide” has not been formally charged at this time.

When the story initially broke, Jason reacted quickly with limited information. He suggested optimism that the situation would be clarified. Those clips spread across social media as more details emerged about the case.

Jason clarified his relationship with d4vd during the retraction. They had collaborated publicly but were not close personal friends. He described their connection as creator-to-creator rather than a deep friendship.

“I’m not going to speculate further,” Jason stated. He expressed condolences to the victim and said he would let law enforcement handle the investigation.
