Cruz Beckham is said to have hit back at critics accusing him of being a “nepo baby” by branding Jesus Christ as one too, as he released a teaser for his new song on Christmas Day
Budding musician Cruz Beckham reportedly branded Jesus Christ a fellow nepo baby as he teased his music venture to fans on Christmas Day.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham is said to have hit back at social media critics accusing him of benefiting from his parents’ wealth and privilege by declaring: “Jesus is also a nepo baby.”
Cruz’s alleged claim about the son of God came as he released a teaser video for his new song For Ya Love across his social media channels on Christmas Day. While some comment positively with quips like “not bad”, others reportedly took aim at the 19-year-old.
According to the MailOnline, one social media user taunted Cruz saying: “Bet he had mega money and training.” Cruz is said to have replied: “Not at all. Just a guitar.” According to the publication, Cruz came out with the comment about Jesus before deleting his post 12 hours later on Boxing Day. The Mirror has approached representatives for Cruz for comment.
Cruz isnt the only Beckham offspring to be labelled a nepo baby. Big brother Brooklyn Beckham has been the target of some online banter over the years thanks to the eldest Beckham child struggling to stick at one career aspiration or ever work a proper full-time job.
The 25-year-old was branded ‘Nepo Spice’ in January 2023 as he seemingly soft-launched another career venture as he discussed his love of fashion for a feature in Vogue alongside his wife, Nicola Peltz. The married couple invited fans to peep into their wardrobe, showcasing their sartorial preferences.
Throughout the video clip shared by Vogue on TikTok Brooklyn recommends hunting for top-notch vintage denim in his tycoon father-in-law’s closet and expresses that a fitted shirt, knee-high boots, and matrix-inspired trench coat are what he loves most on Bates Motel actress Nicola.
“I love high-waisted jeans,” says the budding cook in a TikTok snippet, gesturing towards his wife’s midriff. “And I love like a nice tight shirt. I love the high boots – I think they’re very sexy. Little Matrix jacket – love it! “. Vogue described the clip: “You could say that @brooklynbeckham loves @nicolapeltzbeckham’s style. Like, really loves it. As seen on the latest episode of #vogue7days7looks.”
Underneath the video, comments swiftly accumulated, poking fun at Brooklyn’s diverse array of past professional ambitions. “Is this Brooklyn Beckham… the Brooklyn Beckham, chef, photographer, stylist extraordinaire,” one cheeky TikTok user quipped. “Dude is cosplaying a different career every other week,” another declared, while a third joked: “He’s doing a free trial of everything.”
The Hills and Celebrity Big Brother star Spencer Pratt sarcastically wrote: “Not just a chef and photographer he also celeb stylist.” “Another career choice, makeup your mind Nepo Spice,” another critic commented, with one TikTok user adding: “I hope the next episode will be Brooklyn cosplaying as plumber or surgeon!”
Brooklyn has dabbled in various careers over the years, with cooking tutorials being his longest-lasting passion, but it seems he hasn’t found his dream job yet. As the son of one of the world’s most famous footballers, Brooklyn once tried his hand at the sport himself but was booted out of Arsenal’s youth team in 2015 after failing to receive a scholarship to remain at the academy.
He then went on to try his hand at modelling and appeared in a music video for The Vamps in 2015, before landing an amazing opportunity to work as an assistant to renowned fashion photographer Rankin. However, Brooklyn’s assistant career was dogged by reports that crew that regularly work with Rankin could not believe how incapable he was, and his time at Parsons School of Design was cut short when he dropped out. Brooklyn faced a critical mauling for his 2017 photography book ‘What I See’, which also flopped in sales.
However, Brooklyn has since shifted gears to cooking, a pursuit that has been met with ridicule online, but the devoted husband claims he “would literally die” for it. “I really enjoyed [photography] for a couple of years. I love taking pictures of my wife. I still have all my film cameras, but now it’s just more of a fun thing to do. They were kind of all hobbies,” he shared with Variety in 2022.
Brooklyn revealed his newfound dedication: “I was still trying to find that one thing I would literally die for, and I found that with cooking,” he said in his profile. Despite the mockery, Brooklyn sends well-wishes to his detractors: “I always wish them well, the haters,” he stated. “I’m just doing what I love doing, staying healthy, being happy, and that’s what it is. I hope they like my next video.”
