Brooklyn Beckham branded ‘disrespectful’ after blocking David and Victoria

After Cruz Beckham’s younger brother claimed the entire family had been blocked by the wannabe chef on social media, Brooklyn Beckham has received criticism from social media users.

Brooklyn Beckham’s disrespect for his family has drawn criticism. The influencer and aspiring chef has recently found himself distanced from the entire Beckham family, and their relationship isn’t improving.

Last weekend, it emerged that his parents, Lady Victoria and Sir David Beckham, had unfollowed the 26-year-old on Instagram. However, it was later confirmed that the truth was far worse. Cruz Beckham, 20, took to his own page and claimed the entire family had been blocked on Instagram.

Brooklyn has now stated that he is “kinda busy.” He was seen walking down the street as Lady Gaga’s mega-hit “Telephone” played over the clip on his TikTok page for his most recent business venture, Cloud 23 Sauce.

Brooklyn chose the song’s parts, which feature the lyrics, “Sorry, I cannot hear you, I’m kinda busy,” instead of the numerous parts that the song could have had. The video, which was shared with the account’s 9313 followers, also featured the lyrics.

But the comment section instantly saw social media users criticising Brooklyn due to his ongoing feud with his family. “There would be no Brooklyn Beckham without the Beckham empire. Fact,” said one.

After doing for you, another person continued, “Blocking your parents is not acceptable; it’s rude and disrespectful.” Another person remarked, “He is cool, but he too may regret blocking his parents and mother.” A fourth person also said, “You only get one mom and one dad, and as you get older you realize how precious time is.

Fifth fan: “Days pass quickly then the years, and you’ve wasted time,” she said. Then you’ll regret it because your siblings won’t want to know you and you can’t buy it back.

Brooklyn made mashed potatoes and roasted a beer-brined chicken in a video that was posted to his Instagram account last weekend. Victoria liked the post, but he blocked his family just a few days later. Cruz responded to rumors that the family had abandoned Brooklyn and said: “NOT TRUE. Never would my parents unfollow their son, according to my parents. Get the facts right, folks. They both woke up blocked, just like I did.

However, according to reports, the Peltz-Beckham family is now hoping that the Beckhams will “leave them alone.” The Beckhams began these “blocking” game stories earlier this year, and they continue, according to a source close to the Daily Mail. It shouldn’t and shouldn’t be a story whether someone follows someone on Instagram or any other platform. Nothing has changed in this unfortunate circumstance.

Brooklyn is being “further away” from his family, according to the source, who claims Cruz is speaking out against the alleged social media blocking. However, a source close to David and Victoria has refuted this claim, saying that his family will always be in constant love with him. They continued, “They will always be there for him, and they always want him to know that.” This fallout has devastated them.

It appears that Brooklyn has blocked them so far, that’s it, this is final. Their final connection was to follow Brooklyn on social media, the source continued to tell the publication.

PR expert Mayah Riaz claims that Brooklyn and Nicola’s move is designed to “silence” their relatives. Mayah told the Mirror: “That is narrative shaping. It positions Brooklyn and Nicola not just as hurt, but as victims of something darker and more deliberate. That is a very specific PR choice.

The “hidden spin” is “victimhood with credibility.” They are trying to change the power dynamic by describing themselves as gaslit. We are justified in our silence, not “we are silent,” but rather that the message is. Why they aren’t engaging directly are the objectives of this kind of briefing. Without having to speak for themselves, it gives them moral support.

Brooklyn and Nicola were last photographed with his parents on Boxing Day last year. Victoria shared a snap on social media of David alongside their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, as well as daughter Harper, 14, and Nicola. “Being together for the holidays makes me so happy,” she said at the time.

Trump-backed conservative Nasry Asfura wins Honduras election: Authorities

The Honduras election commission has reported that Nasry Asfura, a conservative candidate supported by US President Donald Trump, has won the contest’s highly contentious presidential elections.

More than 20 days after the vote, which was announced on Wednesday, are likely to have an impact on the Central American nation.

Asfura won 40.3% of the vote, edging out center-right Liberal Party candidate Salvador Nasralla, who received 39.5 percent, according to the electoral body, the CNE.

Asfura thanked the CNE on Wednesday in a brief social media post. I’m ready to rule in Honduras. He declared, “I will not fail you.”

Trump had heavily favored Asfura, criticizing Nasralla and Rixi Moncada, who ended up receiving less than 20% of the votes.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Asfura and said Washington was looking forward to working with him.

In a social media post, Rubio wrote that “Honduras’ people have spoken and Nasry Asfura will be its next president.”

Rubio urged “all parties to respect the confirmed results” of the elections in a separate statement.

Juan Orlando Hernandez, a member of Asfura’s National Party, was released earlier this month after receiving a pardon in the US for drug trafficking.

Asfura is of Palestinian descent and was formerly mayor of Tegucigalpa in Honduras. However, his party is steadfastly Israel-friendly.

Gideon Saar, the foreign minister of Israel, told Asfura on Wednesday that he had spoken with her and that the two countries had agreed to “strengthen bilateral relations.”

In a statement, Saar said, “I sincerely wish the people of Honduras well, wish him success in his position, and invite him to Israel.” The State of Israel and the Jewish people have a long history of friendship in Honduras.

In violation of international law, Honduras became the only nation to move its embassy there in Israel to Jerusalem under Hernandez’ leadership in 2021. Asfura has also endorsed Trump and other left-wing figures in the Americas, including Javier Milei from Argentina.

Despite the fact that Hernandez, the president of the National Party, is a former drug trafficker, the Argentinian president praised Honduras’ election results on Wednesday as a victory against “narcosocialism.”

In a social media post, Milei wrote, “The Honduran people chose to end years of authoritarianism and decay” with courage.

We from Argentina celebrate the victory of freedom and reaffirm our support for democracy, the popular will, and the region’s institutions without restrictions.

For right-wing candidates in Latin America over the past year, Asfura’s victory is another victory. In 2025, El Salvador’s right-wing leader Nayib Bukele was ably defeated in the election of Chia and Bolivia’s ultraconservative presidents.

The “Pink Tide” – the influx of left-wing leaders who came to power in the area in the early 2020s – appears to have been reversed.

The rise of right-wing governments in the area coincides with the US’s pressure campaign against Venezuela’s left-wing leader Nicolas Maduro.

PDP Condemns Maiduguri Mosque Explosion, Says Tinubu’s Govt Has Failed

The incident at a mosque in Maiduguri, Borno State, was condemned by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as unacceptable.

In a statement released by Ini Ememobong, the opposition party claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has failed miserably in keeping Nigerians’ lives and property safe.

The news of an explosion at a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri, serves as yet another depressing illustration of the growing insecurity that is a tragic reality for Nigerians today.

This is completely unacceptable. Protecting lives and property should be the government’s unavoidable minimum, according to its citizens. The party argued that this administration should take action rather than resort to rhetoric and political game-playing with security because it has already failed.

No one should lose their lives while worshiping God, according to the PDP, as they sympathized with the families of those killed in the attack.

The party warned that if attacks on places of worship continue unchecked, they would not only violate Nigerians’ constitutional right to freely practice their religion, but they would also foster a state of fear that would threaten the country’s religious society.

We urge the federal and state governments to take immediate and practical measures to safeguard our nation’s residents throughout the yuletide season and beyond. More than just phony promises and political jargon, Nigerians deserve it.

“We require concrete, practical security measures that can be carried out on the ground. The statement added that this growing insecurity must be dealt with with the urgency and seriousness it deserves because it has become intolerable.

On Wednesday, a Juma’at Mosque in Gamboru Ward, in the heart of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, was the scene of a report from Channels Television that allegedly belongs to Boko Haram insurgents detonated an IED at the entrance to the Customs area.

Muslim worshippers were observing the Maghrib prayer on Wednesday, less than 12 hours before Christmas, at around 6:10 p.m.

Residents reported to Channels Television via telephone that many worshipers were either killed or injured despite the uncertainty of the incident’s details.

Syria says key ISIL leader Taha al-Zoubi captured near Damascus

According to the country’s SANA news agency, Taha al-Zoubi, a key figure in the ISIL (ISIS) organization, has been arrested in the countryside of Syria’s Ministry of Interior, according to the country’s SANA news agency.

According to the report, “a suicide belt and a military weapon were seized in his possession” and that a “tightly executed security operation” was carried out that resulted in al-Zoubi’s arrest.

According to Brigadier General Ahmad al-Dalati, head of internal security in the Damascus countryside, the raid was carried out “in cooperation” with an anti-ISIL alliance that includes the US-led coalition fighting the group, according to SANA.

The operation has not been made public by US Central Command (CENTCOM).

Al-Dalati claimed that several alleged aides were also detained, and that al-Zoubi, also known as Abu Omar Tibiya, was Damascus’ “wali” or governor.

The arrest demonstrated the “readyness of the security apparatus” and “crippled a blow” to ISIL networks in the capital region, according to the official.

Anyone who dares to work for ISIS or to engage in terrorism will receive a clear message: “The hand of justice will reach them wherever they are,” al-Dalati said.

ISIL has primarily focused its activities against Kurdish forces in the north, which it views as illegitimate.

Raqqa, the capital of the self-declared “caliphate” of ISIL, spanned an area half the size of the United Kingdom at its height.

The organization was infamous for its brutality, which included the beheading of foreign captives and the massacre of Syrians and Iraqis.

Amad Strikes To Give AFCON Holders Ivory Coast Winning Start

Amad Diallo scored for the Ivory Coast on Wednesday to start their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-0 victory over Mozambique in Marrakech.

After 49 minutes, Diallo led the three-time champions, who faced rivals with rankings that were 60 places below them in Group F.

Ivory Coast will face Cameroon and Gabon in one of their other group games in order to become the first African country to successfully defend the title since Egypt did so in 2010 against Egypt.

Since their 1986 debut, Mozambicans have drawn four games and lost 12. They have had long, long-awaited hopes for an AFCON victory.

At the age of 42, winger Elias “Domingues” Pelembe became the second-old player to compete in an AFCON after 44-year-old Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary when he retired from the Mozambique bench.

Yan Diomande, an ivorian teen, drew the first threat and dribbled past several opponents before slipping into the box when poised to shoot.

The title-holders were immediately alarmed as the 19-year-old, who scored a Bundesliga hat-trick for RB Leipzig this month, fell awkwardly and needed medical attention.

Diallo had a chance midway through the first half from a free kick he received just outside the area, but he hit the defensive wall with the ball.

Diomande, who was wearing a protective mask, attempted to break the deadlock with a volleyed cross that was headed in front of goal, but it was tipped over by goalkeeper Ernan Siluane.

With a wide shot from close range, Ivory Coast’s defenseman Ghislain Konan wasted a golden opportunity to lead the country. He is a survivor of the 2024 AFCON team.

At the end of the first half, the Elephants had a better chance when Franck Kessie headed goalwards from close range before Siluane, who was well-positioned, got the ball.

After the break, the teams received a welcome rain that has fallen at numerous AFCON matches throughout the kingdom since the tournament’s debut on Sunday.

Diallo fired past Siluane from inside the box after a cross was headed his way, putting an end to the brave, well-organized resistance of the Mozambicans very early in the second half.

Kessie had a chance to increase the lead as the match approached the hour mark, but she only managed to cross the goal.

The Ivory Coast’s repeated attacks severely limited Mozambican’s chances of finding an equalizer with the clumsy lead.
