Brooklyn Beckham slams critics who bash his cooking videos: ‘I’m used to the hate’
Brooklyn Beckham isn’t fazed by his “nepo baby” reputation.
The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, who has been labeled a “wannabe” chef through the years, said he remains unbothered by criticism of his cooking career.
“To be honest, I’m used to the hate,” Brooklyn, 2, told Insider Friday.
“It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me,” he went on.
The trolling began when he launched his show, “Cookin’ With Brooklyn,” in December 2021.
Though the Facebook Watch series has since ended, the influencer has continued serving up cooking content on his other social media platforms.

Most recently, he came under fire for using almost an entire bottle of avocado oil to cook two pieces of chicken.
He posted the clip on Instagram over the summer, telling his 16.3 million followers that he loved using Chosen Foods oil “for frying because of its high smoke point and neutral flavor.”
Brooklyn covered the chicken breasts in a milk-based mixture before rolling them in a blend of spices and flour.

He then poured a whole bottle of the oil — which retails for $2.99 — into the pan.
“Thats a LOT of oil,” one follower wrote.
Another chimed in, “There are people dying in the world from starvation – you used enough oil and milk for about 20 people. But you wouldn’t understand that.”

A third critic added, “That’s at least $25 worth of avocado oil.”
Brooklyn doesn’t have any professional culinary training. However, he referred to himself as a “chef” when he was interviewed in his $1.2 million luxury sports car by a TikToker.
“Hey, man! What do you do for a living? Your car’s awesome!” social media star Daniel Mac asked him.
“Um, I’m a chef,” Brooklyn replied.
“You’re a chef? Really? Are you, like, the best chef in the world?” Mac asked, to which the London native replied, “Tryna be!”
