Cruz Beckham's Bold Response to Nepotism Jibes in His Music Career
Cruz Beckham, the youngest son of global icons David and Victoria Beckham, has faced his fair share of criticisms as he embarks on his own music career. With famous parents who have already made their mark in the worlds of football and fashion, it’s no surprise that his talents are often scrutinized with the ever-present question: “Is he really doing this on his own, or is it all thanks to his parents’ fame?”
Most recently, Cruz became the target of some harsh online jibes after releasing a teaser for his new song, For Ya Love , on Christmas Day. One critic commented, “Not bad. Bet he had mega money and training,” a jab at what they assumed was Cruz’s privileged entry into the music world. The 19-year-old didn’t take the criticism lying down. In a now-deleted social media post, he replied, “Not at all. Just a guitar.” But the situation didn’t end there. As the comments continued, Cruz escalated the situation with a bizarre retort: “Jesus is also a nepo baby.”

This remark understandably raised eyebrows, especially considering its somewhat irreverent comparison to his famous family situation. However, Cruz appeared to backpedal shortly after, deleting the post less than 12 hours later. Despite this controversial moment, the teenager’s reaction highlights just how frustrated he is with the constant scrutiny he faces about his career choices.
Cruz has been working hard to carve out his path, distancing himself from the shadow of his parents. After switching management to the Los Angeles-based C3, a team known for working with rock bands like The Strokes, Cruz is trying to bring his own sound to the music scene. This year, he collaborated with renowned songwriter Ed Drewett and producer Fred Ball—both of whom have worked with major stars like Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Mariah Carey.
However, Cruz is not the only Beckham to face allegations of privilege. His older brothers have also experienced similar accusations. Brooklyn Beckham, for example, tried to launch a career as a photographer, though it was widely ridiculed. Romeo Beckham, on the other hand, had a brief attempt at a professional football career before he shifted focus to fashion, following in his mother’s footsteps. Even though their endeavors have sparked public interest, the famous last name has often been seen as the key to their opportunities.
Despite the backlash, Cruz’s mother, Victoria Beckham, has continued to show support for her son. Having made her own successful name in the fashion industry, Victoria's influence and mentorship have been key to Cruz’s journey. The young artist’s confidence in his music career is evident, and his desire to prove himself on his own terms is clear, even if it means facing tough questions about nepotism.
Whether Cruz’s response to the criticism will be remembered for its humor or its audacity, one thing remains certain: he’s determined to make his own mark, with or without the famous legacy behind him. The road ahead may be difficult, but for Cruz Beckham, it's one he’s prepared to walk on his own.
