As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, D4vd was arrested Thursday for the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez and is being held without bail. Burke was arrested by complaint, not by grand jury indictment, and the DA’s office has until Monday to decide whether to formally file charges. An arrest by complaint requires a preliminary hearing, a public proceeding where prosecutors present evidence and witnesses are questioned under oath, a step that is skipped when a grand jury returns an indictment.

Burke’s attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter issued a statement Thursday pushing back on the arrest. “Let us be clear, the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” the statement reads. “There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

LAPD released photos of officers in tactical gear moving in for the arrest. Video obtained by TMZ shows Burke with his hands behind his back being walked down a residential street in the Hollywood Hills around 5 p.m. Thursday.

Ice Spice is being sued by a New York wig maker who says the rapper ordered 25 custom wigs for her 2024 Y2K tour, got the work done on a rush timeline, and then refused to pay.

The lawsuit, filed November 2025 by TheBellaBrand, LLC, owned by Gabrielle Alexis, says that Ice Spice, born Isis Naija Gaston, owes her more than $51,000 for work done in June 2024. The total damages sought in the complaint exceed $400,000, including punitive damages tied to a separate claim that Gaston’s team spread false information about her business and cost her a major deal.

The two had a working relationship going back to December 2022. Orders came through Gaston’s stylist Khadjiah Blade, known professionally as Dijah Slay, who would text the requests and pay through Zelle, and according to the complaint, that arrangement ran smoothly for nearly two years, covering multiple tours and televised performances including the 2024 BET Awards and the Grammy Awards.

In June 2024, Blade reached out asking for two months’ worth of wigs for the upcoming Y2K tour. On June 19, Alexis sent a finalized list of 24 custom wigs and quoted $20,000 for the full order, described in the filing as a discounted rate given the ongoing relationship. Blade confirmed the list and said she would send the total to the label for payment, and a separate factory-made 360 blonde wig was also added to the order.

After the price was set, the pickup deadline got moved up twice, eventually landing on June 26. Alexis says the colorist she hired, identified in the filing as Tati, cleared her schedule for two full days to finish all 24 wigs by close of business that evening, and she did. That night, Blade told Alexis she would not be coming to pick up the wigs, saying the situation was out of her hands and that Ice Spice’s schedule kept changing. Nothing came through on payment. In July 2024, Alexis offered to settle for $3,000 and keep all 24 wigs, but Gaston’s team declined, saying they would only pay if it came with the wigs. That left Alexis holding two dozen custom pieces built specifically to Gaston’s head dimensions, with no realistic path to resell or repurpose them.

The dispute then went public. Alexis alleges that Blade and other members of Gaston’s team posted false statements on social media claiming the wigs were factory-made rather than custom, and she says that was not true. The only factory item in the entire order was the 360 blonde wig Blade had specifically requested. According to the complaint, those posts reached Sexyy Red, born Janae Nierah Wherry, who had an active promotional arrangement with Alexis at the time. Under that deal, struck in January 2024, Sexyy Red would promote Alexis’ wigs on social media in exchange for product, and Alexis says the arrangement was expected to run 12 to 14 months and generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business during what the filing describes as the height of Sexyy Red’s popularity. Sexyy Red’s team cited the Ice Spice dispute directly when they suspended the deal. After things cooled down in late 2025, Sexyy Red resumed the partnership, ordered more than 30 custom wigs, and tagged TheeBellaBrand in two Instagram posts, and Alexis says sales increased by an average of $10,000 to $15,000 in the six weeks that followed.

The amended complaint includes four claims: breach of contract, promissory estoppel, quantum meruit, and tortious interference with business relations. In March 2026, Gaston’s attorneys at Rosenberg, Giger & Perala P.C. filed a motion to dismiss three of those four claims and transfer the remaining breach of contract claim to Nassau County Court, arguing the $20,000 contract price falls below the $25,000 threshold required to stay in New York Supreme Court. On the tortious interference claim, they argue the social media posts were aimed at the general public, not at Sexyy Red directly, and that New York law requires the interfering conduct to be targeted at the third party. They also argue the promissory estoppel and quantum meruit claims are redundant of the breach of contract claim, pointing to language in the amended complaint calling the case open-and-shut as proof there is no genuine dispute about whether a contract existed.

Alexis’ legal team at ChaudhryLaw PLLC filed their opposition on March 30, pushing back on all three arguments. On tortious interference, they argue Blade knew about the Sexyy Red arrangement because Alexis told her directly on May 26, 2024, and that Ice Spice’s team and Sexyy Red’s team already communicated regularly through social media to coordinate styling, so Blade understood those posts would reach Sexyy Red’s team and the fact that the deal was suspended proves the interference was intentional. On the alternative claims, they point to New York civil procedure rules that expressly allow plaintiffs to plead multiple theories at once, and argue that Gaston’s own motion, which questions whether Blade had authority to bind her, creates the very dispute that keeps those claims alive. On damages, they say the tortious interference claim alone seeks recovery well above $25,000.

Gaston’s team filed their reply on April 13 and raised a new issue. After Alexis’ attorneys filed a notice scheduling Gaston’s deposition for April 28, 2026, the story was picked up by TMZ the same day, and Gaston’s attorneys called the move tactical, noting it came without any prior document requests and was used to generate press while the dismissal motion was still pending. The reply states that Gaston intends to ask the court to suspend the deposition until after a ruling, and her team also noted that based on Alexis’ own figures, her production costs totaled approximately $31,000 against a $20,000 contract price, meaning she would have lost money on the deal even if paid in full, and under that math any actual damages could be zero.

The hearing on Gaston’s partial motion to dismiss was scheduled for April 14, 2026, and no ruling has been issued yet.

Tsu Surf has been released from Michigan state custody and is now on parole supervision.

According to Michigan Department of Corrections records, the Newark rapper born Rahjon Malik Cox was paroled on April 15. His current status is listed as parolee under the supervision of Wayne/Detroit Metro District Probation and Parole.

Cox’s parole supervision is scheduled to end on July 30. He must comply with a list of conditions including contacting his parole agent within one business day of release, remaining in Michigan, submitting to alcohol and drug testing, completing substance abuse programs, and not possessing firearms.

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Tsu Surf was transferred from federal custody to Michigan state prison on February 17, just one day after his federal release date. Michigan had initially fought against taking custody of Cox.

Cox’s Michigan case stemmed from a December 2011 arrest in Detroit on weapons charges. He pled guilty in February 2024 while serving a federal sentence and was sentenced to 12 to 30 months by Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Donald Knapp in March 2024.

His Michigan sentence ran concurrently with his federal time. Cox had been serving a 37-month federal sentence after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy in connection with a gang-related shooting in Piscataway, New Jersey.

The rapper’s release on parole comes roughly two months after he entered Michigan state custody.
