DJ Fat Tony, who slung the tunes for Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding to Nicola Peltz, is sharing his perspective on the wedding that launched a thousand Instagram Stories. Yes, DJ Fat Tony is breaking his silence. Since the wedding in April 2022, things have been strained between the eldest Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. On U.K. chat show This Morning, Tony said Victoria indeed did an “awkward” dance that “humiliated” Brooklyn, but it had nothing to do with Posh’s dance moves. “There was no slut-dropping,” Fat Tony said, “there was no PVC cat suit, no Spice Girl action.” Instead, the thing that humiliated Brooklyn was the way Victoria allegedly turned the couple’s first dance into a mother-son Latin number.
According to the DJ, the “timing” of Victoria Beckham’s dance was what was inappropriate, not the moves. “Mark Anthony asks ‘the most beautiful woman in the room’ to come to the stage,” says DJ Fat Tony. This was the moment which had previously been Peltz’s cue to have her first dance with Brooklyn. But Anthony allegedly switched it up: “Then he says ‘Victoria, come to the stage.” Victoria then went on stage and danced “a Latin thing” with her son. “At this point, Brooklyn is literally devastated,” DJ Fat Tony says, “because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife. Then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out.” This lines up pretty well with what Brooklyn Beckham said in his lengthy statement on Instagram Stories, seemingly going no contact with his parents permanently.
DJ Fat Tony DJ’d the welcome party, the reception, and the brunch the morning after, which he says was the most awkward of all because “everything that had gone on the actual wedding night was discussed amongst all the guests the next morning.” Since that weekend, Brooklyn Beckham has been in a cold war with his parents. He claims the Beckhams have only wanted to reconcile in public, social media-friendly ways, refusing to see the Peltz-Beckhams during David’s 50th birthday weekend unless they attended his highly-photographed birthday party. Brooklyn says he was blocked by his family on social media, while Cruz Beckham said Brooklyn was the one doing the blocking.
Circling back to the phrase “slut-dropping,” this is a U.K. term for getting low à la Atusko Okatsuka’s Beyoncé drop challenge. Here’s comedian Nish Kumar demonstrating the slut-drop to the best of his ability on The Jonathan Ross Show:
