“Not My Friend”: Kali Uchis unfollows D4vd, says collab song is being taken down amid rapper’s Tesla case

Kali Uchis who collaborated with singer D4vd on the hit track Crashing in February 2025, has distanced herself from him in light of his Tesla situation. Kali Uchis made a comment on September 17, 2025, and revealed that D4vd real name David Anthony Burke is not her friend and that their song together which boasts over fifty million streams on Spotify will be taken down.

She wrote:

"Not my friend i did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given todays disturbing news."

Kali Uchis has also unfollowed the 20-year-old singer.

Crashing was released as the third single from D4vid’s debut album WITHERED. In the track, the artists play the roles of two people in love who reassure each other that their love will endure no matter what comes their way.

The chorus encapsulates this:

"When the world comes crashin' down, I know where I'll stand/ Right next to my baby, keep holding my hand/ 'Cause the enemy may try to conquer and divide/ Well, I'll stay by your side every day and every night/ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, do you, ooh-ooh-ooh/ Think we could ever fall out like everyone else does?/ No-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, we wo-oh-oh-on't/ Just hold me tight and don't you let go (Oh)"
