Cruz Beckham appears to make a subtle dig at Brooklyn as he posts Spice Girls song about forgetting your ‘roots’ amid bitter rift

by

Okay, so I’ve been totally following the Beckham drama, and it’s heartbreaking! It seems like Cruz is finally hinting at where he stands after Brooklyn basically exploded online about the family falling out. He’s not saying much, but you can tell he’s affected by everything. It’s just…ugh, the whole thing is so messy and I’m living for every tiny clue!

The 20-year-old singer, who recently sold out a show in London, announced the good news while posting a Spice Girls song – a move some fans believe was a playful jab at his brother or sister.

On Monday night, 26-year-old Brooklyn publicly announced to his family that he doesn’t intend to get back in touch with them.

Brooklyn released a six-page statement criticizing the Beckhams, accusing them of putting on a show on social media and having relationships that didn’t seem genuine.

However, his brother Cruz has publicly shown where he stands in the dispute, posting a subtle and critical message that appeared to be directed at Brooklyn.

Okay, so even after everything that came out, Cruz is STILL posting on Instagram! It’s like he doesn’t even realize the world is reeling! He’s just…promoting his music and tour dates as if nothing happened. Honestly, it’s a little infuriating, but I guess I’ll still check out the new song…and definitely be at the gig. I need to see him perform.

Cruz expressed his gratitude to his UK fans for purchasing tickets to his shows, excitedly hinting at the possibility of adding more dates due to high demand. He simply wrote, ‘UK. Absolutely no words, thank you a million – looks like I’ll have to be adding more shows!?’

He hasn’t publicly addressed the allegations, but his latest social media post featured the Spice Girls song “Who Do You Think You Are?”.

This song explores the downsides of fame, cautioning listeners about the dangers of losing themselves and becoming consumed by the demands of a celebrity lifestyle.

The song talks about a fierce competition to climb to the top, where people may lose sight of their origins. It suggests that while generosity is admirable, self-interest often motivates actions, and ambition is a key driving force. It then questions the listener’s self-perception, asking if they believe themselves to be exceptional or a celebrity.

Even though he doesn’t mention Brooklyn directly, the song he chose seems deliberate considering what’s happening with his family right now.

Okay, so his mom, Victoria – she’s 51, can you believe it? – hasn’t said anything about his post either, which is killing me, honestly! But she did share the news that everything sold out! Just… ‘wow,’ she wrote. ‘Wow!’ Like, she’s clearly bursting with pride, even if she isn’t gushing with words. It’s perfect, actually. I’m living for this!

Although no one has officially responded to the accusations, Ted Cruz was seen reacting positively to a meme about Victoria Beckham’s request for their first dance song at Brooklyn’s wedding.

R&B singer Ginuwine’s song “Pony” unexpectedly received a ‘like’ from Cruz after internet comedian @Olly_101 joked that Cruz’s fashion designer mother had requested it.

The song, first released in 1996, became popular again when Channing Tatum performed a striptease to it in the movie Magic Mike, a comedy inspired by the male revue group, Chippendales.

Since Brooklyn spoke out, Victoria hasn’t been seen publicly. Meanwhile, her husband, Sir David, was confronted with hostile questions from the media while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He avoided directly addressing the conflict when questioned about it. However, he later talked about the potential benefits and risks of kids using social media, in a somewhat ironic way.

As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about how we live our lives, I’ve definitely had the ‘social media talk’ with my own kids. I really try to help them understand the potential downsides, but also show them how these platforms can be used positively – it’s all about balance and making informed choices, you know? I was discussing this on CNBC’s Squawk Box recently, and it’s something I feel strongly about.

He explained that he’s consistently discussed how social media can be both a positive and negative force.

The former Manchester United player explained that his public profile and role with Unicef have allowed him to highlight the challenges children face around the world.

He added: ‘I’ve tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.

‘They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.’  

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have become central to a family rift, causing them to miss important events like his father Sir David’s 50th birthday and celebration of being knighted. Their absence has created significant tension within the family.

Brooklyn Beckham shared that he felt pressured by his family, who he believes prioritize their public image over everything else. He also stated that being with his wife, Nicola, has helped him find peace and overcome significant anxiety.

Brooklyn explained that his family prioritizes public image and sponsorships above everything else, putting the ‘Beckham brand’ first.

These days, it seems like ‘family love’ is measured by social media posts or how readily people rearrange their lives for picture-perfect family photos, even if it means sacrificing work or other commitments.

It’s a misunderstanding to say my wife controls me. Actually, I’ve been the one controlled – by my parents – for most of my life.

I used to struggle with severe anxiety, but surprisingly, it’s gone away now that I’ve moved away from my family. I wake up each day feeling thankful for the life I’ve built and finally experiencing peace and calm.

My wife and I simply want a peaceful, private life, and happiness for our family – away from public attention and manufactured narratives.

One of the most surprising claims made by Brooklyn was that his mother unexpectedly interrupted his first dance with Nicola, which was supposed to be a romantic moment.

Brooklyn claimed Victoria’s dancing was inappropriate and made him feel incredibly uncomfortable and humiliated, ruining what should have been the happiest moment of his wedding day.

Another source claims David and Victoria Beckham are confused by the allegations, stating that guests at the wedding were clearly enjoying themselves and didn’t express any issues with the mother-son dance at the time.

According to reports, Victoria was only slightly intoxicated and enjoying herself. Nicola, however, was upset that he danced with his mother and made a scene about it.

According to Page Six, the actress became very distressed and left the reception in tears after Victoria Beckham embraced Brooklyn and affectionately rested her head against his neck.

According to a source, Victoria was dancing very closely and inappropriately with him, and she essentially stole a moment that should have been Nicola’s. They claim this is absolutely true.

‘Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams’ side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet. 

Nicola’s friends urged her to come back downstairs. Her face was puffy and swollen, and she was visibly upset for the rest of the night, which was really difficult to watch.

According to one report, Brooklyn struggled with the wording of his six-page statement all weekend, after reportedly telling his wife he was ready to end things.

According to a source, he felt he had to speak out to stop the ongoing mistreatment of his wife. He was tired of being deceived and had made up his mind – and others seemed to agree with his decision. He believed his parents were responsible for the situation and was determined to put an end to it.

The Daily Mail has contacted the Beckhams’, Brooklyn’s and Nicola’s representatives for comment.
