D4vd’s Dad Sold Property, Took Out A Loan Before Singer’s Legal Team Withdrew & Public Defenders Stepped In

Did #D4vd’s dad try to help with his reported money issues? The jailed singer’s father, Dawud Burke, made a series of notable financial moves in recent months as his son faced mounting money troubles, according to real estate records obtained by TMZ. In early July, Burke sold a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Houston — roughly 1,819 square feet — for $229,000. That followed an April transaction in which he took out a $138,000 loan against a separate #Houston property, a smaller three-bedroom, one-bathroom home spanning about 1,260 square feet. Burke currently resides in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Hempstead, Texas, valued at an estimated $850,000.

The asset sale comes on the heels of D4vd, 21, being declared indigent, a status that led his high-profile legal team — Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter — to withdraw from his case. D4vd is now being represented by a public defender in the criminal case surrounding the m*rder of 14-year-old #CelesteRivas. The financial strain stands out given that D4vd reportedly earned $11 million from his #Interscope record deal alone, raising questions about where that money has gone.
