Jesus was also a nepo baby’: Cruz Beckham hits back at critics after backlash over new song

Cruz Beckham, the son of renowned pop stars David and Victoria Beckham, recently hit back at critics after facing backlash over the release of his new song. In a candid social media post, Cruz addressed the controversy by referencing the idea of being a “nepo baby”—a term used to describe individuals who benefit from their family connections in the entertainment industry. He took a humorous approach, stating, “Jesus was also a nepo baby,” in an attempt to deflect criticism about his privilege and to poke fun at the concept.

Despite the criticism, Cruz, who is carving out his own career in music, remains undeterred, emphasizing his dedication to his craft. The young artist’s bold response garnered attention, sparking debates on social media about the role of nepotism in the music industry and whether it unfairly impacts emerging artists. While some applauded Cruz for his confidence and sense of humor, others continued to argue that his famous family played a significant role in his career opportunities. Regardless, Cruz Beckham seems intent on proving his worth on his own terms.
