Cruz Beckham has subtly indicated his position in the ongoing Beckham family feud, following his older brother Brooklyn's explosive public statement about their rift. The 20-year-old budding singer, who has sold out his upcoming London concert, shared celebratory news alongside a Spice Girls track that appears to contain pointed lyrics directed at his sibling.
Brooklyn's Nuclear Statement
On Monday evening, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, posted a six-page statement to his estranged family, declaring he had no plans to reconcile with them. In the detailed document, he lambasted the Beckhams over what he described as "performative" social media posts and "inauthentic relationships," claiming the family prioritises public promotion above all else.
Cruz's Musical Response
While Cruz hasn't directly addressed Brooklyn's claims, his recent social media activity suggests where his loyalties lie. After announcing his sold-out UK show, he posted: "UK. Absolutely no words, thank you a million - looks like I'll have to be adding more shows!?"
Significantly, this announcement was accompanied by the Spice Girls song "Who Do You Think You Are?" - a track whose lyrics discuss the pressures of fame and warn against losing one's identity. The song contains lines such as "Who do you think you are? Some kind of superstar?" which many observers interpret as a thinly-veiled dig at Brooklyn's public outburst.
Family Reactions
Victoria Beckham, who has not publicly addressed her eldest son's statement, shared Cruz's sell-out announcement with a simple "wow." Meanwhile, David Beckham faced questions about the feud during his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he spoke generally about educating children about social media's dangers and benefits.
Cruz has remained active on Instagram promoting his music career since Brooklyn's statement emerged. He was also spotted "liking" a playful meme about Victoria's alleged song request for Brooklyn's first wedding dance - further suggesting his alignment with his parents' side of the dispute.
The Wedding Dance Controversy
Among Brooklyn's numerous allegations was a claim that Victoria "hijacked" his planned first dance with wife Nicola Peltz at their wedding, dancing "very inappropriately" in front of 500 guests. He described feeling "more uncomfortable and humiliated than ever" during this incident, which he says overshadowed his wedding day.
Sources close to the family present different perspectives on the event, with some suggesting Victoria was simply "a tad tipsy and having fun," while others claim Nicola was so upset she left the reception crying.
Broader Family Tensions
The public feud represents the culmination of months of tension between Brooklyn and his family. He and Nicola have reportedly snubbed significant family celebrations, including David's 50th birthday and knighthong events. Brooklyn claims his anxiety has disappeared since stepping away from his family, while his parents are said to be "baffled" by his accusations.
As the Beckham family drama continues to unfold publicly, Cruz's subtle musical response adds another layer to this complex celebrity family rift, demonstrating how even indirect communications can carry significant meaning in high-profile disputes.
