\u201cI\u2019ve been searching for something, taken out of my soul,\u201d the lyrics read.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething I\u2019d never lose, something somebody stole. I hope it doesn\u2019t take the rest of my life, until I find what it is that I\u2019ve been looking for …\u201d<\/p>\n

On January 19, Brooklyn posted a series of Instagram stories blasting his parents David and Victoria Beckham for sabotaging his relationship<\/a> and marriage to heiress Nicola Peltz.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not want to reconcile with my family,\u201d the 26-year-old said, alleging his brothers were \u201csent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere\u201d.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn said he suffered \u201coverwhelming anxiety\u201d at the hands of his parents who prioritised \u201cpublic promotion and endorsements above all else\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrand Beckham comes first,\u201d he wrote, adding \u201cfamily \u2018love\u2019 is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail reported that despite covering up a tattoo dedicated to his father David<\/a>, Brooklyn kept tattoos honouring his siblings \u2013 the word brotherhood and a ballerina, both on his right leg.<\/p>\n

Cruz\u2019s post attracted well-wishes from followers, with many saying they hope the family will reconcile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope you get your brother back bro,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody\u2019s giving out the olive branch, and we are all here for it!\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

A third commenter said: \u201cRemember no one can control or change the fact that you were born brothers, are brothers and will always be brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruz\u2019s post comes two weeks after he posted a TikTok video that appeared to take a swipe at Brooklyn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Captioned \u201cImagine hating and we\u2019re just here like\u201d, the clip which has since been deleted, showed Cruz, Romeo and their partners miming to an audio clip of a wah-wah sound effect.<\/p>\n

Cruz announced his first tour with his band The Breakers on social media last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019ve been searching for something, taken out of my soul,\u201d the lyrics read. \u201cSomething I\u2019d never lose, something…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156939,38017,8794,22061,31468,6184,51668,156,48338,2109,1888,78,1073,111,139,69,26201,12663,254,156938,17398,18935,3109,38630,3168,7811,1072,61],"class_list":["post-279975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-acknowledgement","tag-beckham","tag-branch","tag-brooklyn","tag-brother","tag-childhood","tag-cruz","tag-entertainment","tag-fallout","tag-family","tag-first","tag-in","tag-media","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-olive","tag-photo","tag-photos","tag-poignant","tag-possible","tag-posts","tag-public","tag-rift","tag-shared","tag-since","tag-social","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
