Real estate records show D4vd’s dad, Dawud Burke, sold a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,819-square-foot home in Houston, Texas, for $229,000 in early July. A couple months earlier in late April, documents show Dawud took out a $138,000 loan on a different property in Houston, which appears to be a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1,260-square-foot home. Dawud currently lives in a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 4,426-square-foot home in Hempstead, Texas, with an estimated value of $850,000.
D4vd’s dad selling a huge asset comes as the singer was declared indigent, leading to the withdrawal of his powerhouse legal team, consisting of Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter. He will now be represented by a public defender in his criminal case over Celeste Rivas’ murder.
The singer being without funds to pay his legal team is noteworthy given the $11 million he made from his Interscope deal alone. D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces charges of first-degree murder with special circumstances, sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez
