Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2025 was full of monumentally memorable moments!
Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on the occasions that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.
Next, we saw the alt-Pop star D4vd go from one of music’s fastest rising viral artists to the center of one of the most disturbing and widely followed criminal investigations of the year.
Join us after the jump.
The tragic case surrounding the discovery of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s decomposed body in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer dominated headlines, sparked controversy, and upended his career.
The Los Angeles County grand jury spent months hearing testimony and evidence, with prosecutors reportedly pushing toward a murder indictment against D4vd, though as of late December, no formal charges have yet been filed and he has not been arrested.
The case and the investigation remain active, with sealed coroner reports and public outrage intensifying online discussions and what it means for the embattled singer’s future in music and the justice system.
