Brooklyn Beckham has seemingly responded to his estranged family with a subtle dig, having recently cut social media ties with them.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef drew attention by posting a video shortly after his brother Cruz mentioned that Brooklyn had blocked the family on Instagram.
In a video shared on his Cloud23 hot sauce TikTok account, Brooklyn is seen wandering through a city, with Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” playing in the background.
He made a point of highlighting the lyric “sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy,” emphasizing the line in bold text.
Brooklyn then pivoted to promoting his hot sauce, prompting fans to speculate about the post’s timing and underlying message.
This follows reports from sources close to David and Victoria Beckham, who assert that despite the social media rift, they would never unfollow their son Brooklyn on Instagram.
Brooklyn Beckham has ‘hit back’ at his estranged family with a thinly veiled barb after blocking them on social media
The aspiring chef, 26, raised eyebrows with the video, shared just days after brother Cruz broke his silence on Brooklyn blocking the entire family on Instagram
In fact, they believe that he has blocked them in a move that appears to be a sign of his ‘complete estrangement’ from his family.
Friends of the pair say that it is inconceivable that they would make a decision not to follow the influencer.
‘David and Victoria will never stop loving Brooklyn,’ said a source close to the couple.
‘They will always be here for him and they always want him to know that, they are devastated at this fall out.
‘So far from this being them, it appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that’s it, this is final.
‘It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family.
‘For David and Victoria it was their last connection to Brooklyn as he has made it very clear he doesn’t want to talk to them anymore, they haven’t spoken for months and months now.
‘By following him it was a message to him that they still love him and still want to follow his life. Now they can’t do that, but it’s not their doing.’

The Instagram fallout comes just days before Christmas.
Brooklyn will not join his parents and younger brothers Romeo and Cruz or sister Harper.
Instead he is expected to remain in US while the Beckhams celebrate with their wider family at their £10million home in the Cotswolds.
Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz, 20, refuted reports his parents had unfollowed their son in an Instagram Story post on Saturday, instead claiming that he, David and Victoria had been ‘blocked’ by Brooklyn.
‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I,’ Cruz wrote.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Brooklyn for comment on Cruz’s claims.
It is the most public sign yet that there has is no communication between them amid their spiralling family feud.
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria. They no longer follow her either.

It comes after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed how Brooklyn will spend this Christmas with wife Nicola Peltz and her family in Miami, Florida
It comes after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed how Brooklyn has snubbed his family’s attempts at reconciliation in the run up to the festive period as he will spend this Christmas with Nicola and her family in Miami, Florida.
A source said: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them.’
Brooklyn and Nicola arrived in Miami earlier this week, with the hot sauce owner posing for a picture with her brother Bradley in the back garden of the incredible Palm Beach mansion.
His decision to spend Christmas with his in-laws will come as a blow to his parents and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz and Harper, 14.
In recent weeks, David has appeared to offer a public olive branch to his son, in an apparent bid to put an end to their very public family feud.
The former footballer had shared a throwback picture of himself with Brooklyn and his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz.
Cruz also made sure his brother knew he was thinking of him by sharing a sweet snap of the pair with brother Romeo on the beach in Brazil.
Brooklyn was seen wrapping his arm around his youngest brother Cruz as they posed on the beach.

Relations between Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckham clan unraveled completely when they did not attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s knighthood in November.
The Daily Mail revealed how Brooklyn’s nans are devastated they won’t be seeing their grandson this Christmas.
Victoria had shared a festive picture from her parents Jackie and Tony Adams’ house as they placed twelve stockings in a row on their fireplace, one for each grandchild. In pride of place was one reserved for Brooklyn.
The family feud has taken a particularly acute toll on Jackie, as well as David’s mother Sandra.
Some argue that hanging up Brooklyn’s stocking, regardless of the feud, is a sign of hope on Jackie’s part that – somehow, despite everything – Christmas might finally persuade her grandson to put aside his grudges and step on a plane to rejoin the family.
Friends of the Beckhams say Jackie and Sandra are ‘extremely sad’ about the situation.
Victoria had posted a picture of the fireplace filled with stockings at the Hertfordshire home of her parents, Jackie and Tony Adams – including one reserved for Brooklyn.
The source added: ‘They’re not getting any younger and the cold truth of it all is that nobody knows when they will see Brooklyn next. It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for.’
David and Victoria will spend some of the festive period in the £60million home they recently bought on Miami’s waterfront.
It was where they were joined last year by Brooklyn and Nicola, and photographs of their Christmas celebrations show everyone having what appeared to be a lovely time.
Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper.
