Mel B’s daughter Phoenix Chi has revealed what it’s really like to be a nepo baby – and she says it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be.
The 25-year-old weighed in on the highly debated social media topic, whether it’s unfair for nepo babies receive advantages
Phoenix has a new documentary exploring the topic, called Born In The Limelight Nepo Babies: UNTOLD.
In a recent interview, Phoenix admitted she is a nepo baby herself and defended other nepo children, saying how their own talents aren’t often recognized.
Phoenix said: “In a way yeah I think we do have a bad rep in the sense that people think we are handed a certain type of dream more than anyone else.
At the end of the day, you wouldn’t be in those positions, and they wouldn’t go as far as they do if you weren’t good at them or if you didn’t have any type of skill in that area.
“I feel that you are always going to have some time of rep because everyone likes to judge but fair play to them. You don’t know people’s lives until you are in it.
“So I understand but I think people need to give everyone a fair shot. There is no wrong in that.”
However, Phoenix said being a nepo baby doesn’t protect you from real world issues such as bullying – something she was subjected to in school.
She explained: “I wasn’t born with the word nepo-baby written on my head. So I feel like everyone’s a child. and then once you get into the real world and life problems and news articles and things start circulating, then you realise, oh shoot, maybe I am a nepo-baby.
“When you’re a kid and you’re getting bullied in school, no one really cares about that stuff.
