David Beckham has defended his decision to allow his son Cruz to launch a singing career denying he was exploiting the 11-year-old.
Appearing on American national television today the 41-year-old was hit back at critics saying it as the schoolboy’s decision as he “wanted to give back”
.
Despite Cruz signing to Justin Beiber’s manager Scooter Braun, Beckham said the song was a one-off.
Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America to promote the 70th anniversary of children’s charity Unicef, Beckham said the issue had been overblown.
“The amazing thing about this, we only realised Cruz has a cute little voice about nine months ago,” he said.
Scooter has been a family friend for a while, so he said to bring him in, see if he enjoys it.
“For us, we always want in our children, we always hope they're listening to us or pay attention to us as parents, so we do a lot of work for charity for obviously Unicef and my wife does for the UN.
“And Cruz came to us and said ‘How about I do a Christmas song for charity
“There’s nothing more to this than that at the moment.”
“He's 11-years-old, he's still at school, he’s concentrating at school that’s the most important thing but he wanted to give back and he’s done this amazing little Christmas song that’s got a lot of attention.
“And you know we are very proud of it.
“He came to us with the idea. It's kind of cool but he's having fun’.
