Cruz Beckham takes subtle dig at estranged brother Brooklyn in new music

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham's youngest son, Cruz Beckham, has just released his debut album Wear & Tear on Friday and fans were quick to spot multiple family references he made, including a swipe at estranged brother Brooklyn.

The 21-year-old aspiring singer and The Breakers band unveiled the LP with Cruz calling it "A life lived" and a medium of expression in which no matter where a person stands in his life, he could relate.

As he contemplate, "We’ve been high, and low, in love and in pain, jealous, upset - we’ve lived and learned. We’ve all got our wear and tear."

One of the songs in the album titled WANNABE is a clear tribute to the mom Victoria as it was the former Spice Girls' debut song.

Cruz clearly joked about unnecessary feuds in the song titled Seeing Red, which appears to be a dig at his family tensions involving Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

The music video of the song seems like a homage to dad David's football career as Cruz plays football in it.

Cruz, however, mentioned to take these lyrics lighthearted, "Seeing red is a comedic take on a totally unserious moment of frustration, in this case in sports.

"Everyone’s competitive nature likes to take over now and then, but it’s all fun and games. Seeing red is a nod to that exact turning point."

Another song's lyrics apparently talk about "breaking mama’s heart" and "pushing friends away" which seemed like a clear hint at Brooklyn and Victoria's broken ties.

The lyrics read, "Loneliest boy, place all your bets on him, To find something bad in somebody good, he always does, Loneliest boy, I hope that you’re listening, Don’t push all your friends away, when we’re tryna show you love."

It is pertinent to mention that Brooklyn publicly announced his broken ties with Beckham family on social media with a scathing post earlier this year, alleging his parents attempted to break his marriage to wife Nicola.
