D4vd
Family Sold Off Texas Home, Took Out $138K Loan
As Singer Struggled to Pay Legal Team
Published
D4vd’s father was making interesting financial moves in the past couple of months … while his son faced money issues and is now repped by a public defender in his murder case … TMZ has learned.
TMZ obtained real estate records showing 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 $138K 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 $850K.
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.
