On Thursday, Caleb took to his Instagram Stories with a series of lengthy posts. His statements stress that he understands the seriousness of the case and does not want to insert himself into an ongoing legal matter. Additionally, he directly denied claims that he was protecting his brother or had any knowledge of wrongdoing. Caleb said he has not lived with D4vd in years and that they rarely speak outside of brief family interactions. He also addressed resurfaced footage showing him around Celeste Rivas Hernandez at a concert when he was 15. However, Caleb claimed that the clip was taken out of context. He also revealed that he did not know her well or know her age at the time.

He also called out inaccuracies in reports about his age and timeline, saying his creative reset was planned long before the case resurfaced publicly. As D4vd continues facing serious legal proceedings following his April arrest, Caleb ended his statement by saying he’s focused on building his own path through music and separating himself from the allegations tied to his brother.
