The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas has taken a sharp turn. Neo, a 23-year-old streamer and former confidant of prime suspect D4vd, has completely distanced himself from the singer through leaked social media posts.

After facing an arrest last month for failing to appear before a grand jury, Neo is now asserting his innocence and claiming he possesses substantial evidence. His messages highlight a fractured relationship as legal pressure mounts.

Leaked Instagram Posts Reveal Neo Withholding Critical Evidence Against D4vd

The revelations emerged on 13 March when screenshots from Neo's private Instagram account began circulating online. Using the platform's restricted viewing feature, he addressed his legal situation.

His tone appeared defiant as he dismissed any lingering legal jeopardy regarding his recent detention. 'Thankfully I'm legally fine in every way, AND BOI DO I GOT ALL MY RECEIPTS FOR THINGS HAHAHAHA,' he wrote.

This suggests Neo has documented proof that could influence the murder investigation. He expressed profound frustration over how quickly public perception shifted against him following his highly publicised arrest.

'I told so many people that I trust and I thought knew me as a person my side of things, all for that to be thrown out the fkin window as soon as I get arrested and they slap that di*kheads name next to mine,' Neo added.

Retracted Warrants and Grand Jury Appearances Shift the Investigation Timeline

His 40-minute appearance before the grand jury left many questioning his cooperation. However, his recent online outburst indicates that his minimal testimony may have been a calculated legal strategy rather than a lack of knowledge.

Neo firmly clarified the status of his outstanding legal issues related to his initial detention. 'And for the record, the thing I was arrested for I wasn't even charged,' he stated in the leaked updates.

He further explained that authorities never formally filed the charges and subsequently withdrew the warrant. According to the streamer, this retraction occurred 'because there is more to the story then what's on the news.'

The Mysterious Santa Barbara Drive and the Discovery of Celeste Rivas

The backdrop to this escalating feud remains the tragic discovery of Rivas's remains. Authorities found her body concealed inside the trunk of a Tesla belonging to D4vd, parked near his Los Angeles residence.

Detectives are looking closely at a highly suspicious late-night trip D4vd reportedly took from Los Angeles to a quiet spot in Santa Barbara back in the spring of 2025. Police sources seem to think the singer did not make that important drive alone.

People online immediately started guessing that Neo was the mystery passenger. This threw him right into the spotlight and had everyone watching his every move. Right after the victim was found, Neo went online and quickly scrubbed every photo and mention of D4vd from his social accounts.

Lawyers Step In to Deny Streamer's Involvement

Right now, Neo's reps are putting in overtime to do some major damage control and keep his reputation intact.

They want to make it absolutely clear that he has nothing to do with the main suspect in this case. His legal counsel has issued strong statements denouncing the internet rumours.

'[Neo] played no part in this heinous crime and he ... continues to be wrongfully persecuted in the court of public opinion,' his lawyer announced to the press. This steadfast denial aligns seamlessly with the streamer's recent online assertions.

Authorities have not announced formal charges against D4vd. Nevertheless, these latest leaks published by news sources guarantee that public attention will remain fiercely locked on the former friends as the complex homicide investigation slowly unravels.
