Daily Mail  

Like any fully fledged ‘nepo baby’ – the term used for celebrity children who’ve been given a leg up on the career ladder by virtue of their famous parents – when Phoenix Brown decided to make a documentary about the phenomenon she was given her own show by Channel 4, a 45-minute documentary called Born In The Limelight: Nepo Babies. Pictured with her mother Phoenix, 25, the daughter of Spice Girl Mel B and dancer Jimmy Gulzar, has a humility about her as she explores this rarefied world Phoenix would be the first to admit she had a very different upbringing from her working-class mother Of course, nepotism has always been around, but there are few places where it’s more visible than in arts and entertainment, even more so today when anyone can become a celebrity regardless of talent. Phoenix describes herself as ‘the daughter of Spice Girl Mel B’ while Betty tells of her lifelong love for the medium and her training. To test exactly what sort of advantages nepo babies get, Phoenix embarks on an experiment where she pretends to become an artist Phoenix admits, ‘My mum’s awesome but I don’t know anything different, so I can’t compare Brooklyn Beckham, son of David and Spice Girl Victoria, had a brief career as a photographer Madonna and Guy Ritchie ’s son Rocco’s art has featured in his father’s films.
