Cruz Beckham is not letting online trolls get to him as he promotes his music.
The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a teaser for his new track For Ya Love on his social media platforms over Christmas, which sparked all sorts of reactions—including nepotism taunts.
The 19-year-old Cruz hit back timely with his two cents on nepotism, saying, “Jesus is also a nepo baby.”
This didn’t end there as Cruz responded to another comment that said “Bet he had mega money and training,” to which the aspiring musician replied, “Not at all. Just a guitar.”
It’s reported that Cruz deleted his controversial comment about Jesus 12 hours later on Boxing Day, per Mirror.
Besides Cruz, his older brother Brooklyn has also been at the centre of criticism for fluctuating career aspirations and lack of a steady full-time job. Brooklyn is now apparently a wine buff after ditching football and photography.
The 25-year-old Brooklyn was also dubbed “Nepo Spice” in January 2023 when he chatted about his passion for fashion in a Vogue feature with his wife, Nicola Peltz, where the lovebirds gave fans a glimpse into their closet.
Vogue captioned the footage: “You could say that @brooklynbeckham loves @nicolapeltzbeckham’s style. Like, really loves it. As seen on the latest episode of #vogue7days7looks.”
Critics took charge immediately, “Is this Brooklyn Beckham… the Brooklyn Beckham, chef, photographer, stylist extraordinaire,” one TikTok user teased.
“Dude is cosplaying a different career every other week,” another commented, while a third joked, “He’s doing a free trial of everything.”
Spencer Pratt, the reality TV star known from The Hills and Celebrity Big Brother, threw some shade with a sarcastic quip, “Not just a chef and photographer he also celeb stylist.”
Another critic chimed in with a dig at Brooklyn’s indecisiveness, “Another career choice, make up your mind Nepo Spice,” while a TikTok user cheekily suggested: “I hope the next episode will be Brooklyn cosplaying as plumber or surgeon!”
Brooklyn, despite his various career attempts, hasn’t quite found his niche yet. The eldest child of football legend David Beckham once dropped out from Arsenal’s youth team in 2015 for not securing a scholarship to stay on at the academy.
He then tried his luck with modelling and appeared in a music video for The Vamps in 2015, and bagged an incredible gig working under fashion photographer Rankin. His stint at Parsons School of Design ended prematurely when he dropped out.
His foray into the world of photography with the 2017 book What I See lacked stellar reviews, leading to disappointing sales. Brooklyn has now turned his attention to the kitchen.
