EA Sports Pulls D4vd Song From Madden NFL 26 During Rivas Death Probe

Reporters say a Los Angeles grand jury is taking testimony in the Celeste Rivas case, with a vote on indictments possible.

Overview

  • EA Sports quietly removed D4vd’s track “What Are You Waiting For” from the Madden NFL 26 soundtrack after it had been included at the game’s August release, and the company has not offered a public explanation.
  • The development comes as reporting continues to link D4vd to the active investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas, whose dismembered remains were found in September in a Tesla registered to him after it was towed from the Hollywood Hills.
  • Law-enforcement sources cited by TMZ say investigators are looking at D4vd as a suspect, though no public record of formal charges has been announced.
  • A grand jury convened in Los Angeles has been hearing witness testimony, and outlets report it could soon vote on potential indictments.
  • Courtroom reporting notes that D4vd’s day-to-day manager, Robert Morgenroth, testified over multiple days, and prosecutors sought a ‘body attachment’ after a key witness allegedly failed to appear.
