The youngest Beckham son has released a new song that many think could be about the family feud

Cruz Beckham has seemingly aimed a brutal dig at his estranged brother Brooklyn, using lyrics of his new song to appear to criticise the 27-year-old.

Cruz, 21, has broken into a career in music, and his latest single seems to be an expression of his feelings towards the aspiring chef.


The track, Loneliest Boy, hasn't yet been released, but the youngest Beckham brother has given fans a glimpse of his new song on stage.

The lyrics, which have been added to the song site Genius, seem to touch on family and a rift, with the musician talking about "breaking mama's heart."

One verse reads: "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."

The chorus continues: "So tell me you're scared, and that you need someone to hold. 'Cause you're in the room, but really, does it even show?

"But, why can’t they see that you’re a million miles away. They'll never know, when you look so close."

The second verse seems to reference Victoria, with the words: "Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much, it's breaking hеr heart.

"It shows in the small things that you don't do, I guess in thе end that it's you, yourself, and you. Tell me how do you live, when you've got nobody to lose?"

The song comes not long after Cruz broke his silence on hopes of a reconciliation with his brother, when he was asked to Brooklyn's 27th birthday in March if there was any chance of repairing the relationship.

He responded "hopefully," indicating he would be willing to reunite if his brother were to reach out.

The family rift intensified in January, when Brooklyn accused his parents of "controlling" him and insisting he has no desire to reconcile.

He posted a six-page statement on Instagram, which included scathing claims about his family.

In the brutal and public outburst, Brooklyn claimed he had been "controlled" by his family and that they care only about the "Beckham brand".

Hitting back at his brother Cruz's previous claims that he had "blocked" the whole family on social media, he alleged that he was not the instigator of the snub, instead claiming that his siblings were encouraged to attack him online before cutting him off themselves.

The eldest Beckham brother also alleged that his fashion designer mother, Victoria, had cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, and claimed his wedding had been ruined by the former Spice Girl.

"My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance, to a romantic love song," he penned.

The claim continued: "In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me.

"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.

"We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."
