In a dramatic escalation of the Beckham family rift, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has stepped forward to defend Sir David and Victoria Beckham following their estranged son Brooklyn's blistering public attack. The development comes as the couple's wedding DJ, Fat Tony, has provided a detailed account of the controversial first dance incident that Brooklyn described as deeply inappropriate.
Snoop Dogg's Public Defence of the Beckhams
Snoop Dogg, who performed at Brooklyn's 2022 wedding to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, has spoken out in support of his longtime friend Sir David Beckham. In a new interview, the American music icon emphasised David's commitment to family above all else, despite the current public turmoil.
'David is my boy, we have been friends for over 20 years now,' Snoop Dogg stated. 'We have seen each other's kids grow up, and one thing about David is that he is a family man. It doesn't matter what level of success he has had in his life, there ain't nothing more important to him than his family.'
The rapper acknowledged the pressures facing high-profile families while expressing optimism about reconciliation. 'No family is perfect right, but when you are a family in the public eye it's hard - it's even more of a pressure,' he explained. 'I know the love that family has for each other - and in time, they are gonna work things out.'
The Wedding Dance Incident Explained
Meanwhile, wedding DJ Fat Tony has provided crucial context about the incident that Brooklyn highlighted in his six-page social media statement. Appearing on ITV's This Morning, the 60-year-old DJ confirmed that the first dance situation became 'really awkward' and resulted in Nicola Peltz fleeing the reception in tears.
According to Tony's account, musician Marc Anthony was performing when he called Brooklyn to the stage. 'Everyone's expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance,' Tony explained, 'and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage - and then he says "Victoria, come to the stage".'
The DJ described Brooklyn looking 'devastated' that his first dance was with his mother rather than his new wife. 'The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom's moment,' Tony told the Daily Mail exclusively. 'It was in the heat of the moment. Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her.'
Brooklyn's Explosive Allegations
Brooklyn Beckham's comprehensive statement last week contained multiple serious allegations against his parents, including:
- Accusations that Victoria and David have tried to ruin his relationship with Nicola since before their wedding
- Claims that his mother cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute
- Allegations that his parents pressured him to sign away rights to his name before the wedding
- Statements that family members told him Nicola was 'not blood' and 'not family'
- Complaints about Victoria hijacking his planned first dance with Nicola
The 26-year-old hot sauce entrepreneur wrote: 'I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life.' He added that since distancing himself from his family, his lifelong anxiety has disappeared.
Family Dynamics Under Scrutiny
Fat Tony, who describes himself as a longtime friend of the Beckhams, emphasised the complexity of family relationships, particularly under public scrutiny. 'The whole situation is just awful, the way it's played out so publicly,' he said. 'Families are families, I don't know what started it. At one point someone might say something publicly.'
The DJ noted how seemingly small incidents can escalate, explaining: 'Brooklyn is upset about a lot of things, sometimes the smallest of things can become the biggest of things, because it highlights it.' He maintained he wasn't taking sides but rather 'putting the narrative straight about the dance.'
As the public feud continues to unfold, Snoop Dogg's defence highlights the enduring friendships surrounding the Beckham family, while the detailed accounts from those present at the wedding provide new perspective on the specific incidents that have contributed to this very public family breakdown.
