Romantic Homicide” singer D4vd has hired one of Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers — as cops probe how the dismembered remains of a 14-year-old runaway ended up in his abandoned Tesla.
The 20-year-old embattled artist recently retained Blair Berk, a top criminal defense attorney who has also repped a host of Hollywood stars, including Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, LA Magazine reported.
D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has faced intense scrutiny ever since Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s rotting remains were discovered in his vehicle on Sept. 8 after it was brought to a Hollywood tow lot.
The singer hasn’t been named as a suspect in the twisted case.
His new lawyer has previously repped Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul currently rotting in prison for sickening sex crimes.
D4vd, who has more than 2 million followers on Instagram, is yet to break his silence about the investigation, beyond his team saying he is cooperating with investigators.
The teen’s body was found in the trunk of his car a day after her 15th birthday.
Authorities have said she’d been dead for several weeks, meaning she was just 14 when she died.
The gruesome discovery came nearly two weeks after the abandoned Tesla was slapped with a parking violation.
Cops are still probing exactly when the teen died and how long her body was in the vehicle.
