DJ Fat Tony has ‘cheekily trolled’ Victoria Beckham while performing in London on Saturday, days after he backed her son Brooklyn’s bombshell statement.

The longtime friend of the Beckhams, 60, took to the stage to perform his sold out Full Fat Brunch set at The Anthologist in London.

During the two and a half hour set, the British DJ danced and sang along to the Spice Girls hit Wannabe.

A punter at the event told The Sun: ‘Victoria and her dancing is all anyone has been talking about all week so when it said it all that DJ Fat Tony played that song – even if he didn’t say anything else.

‘It was a cheeky way to keep stirring the pot.’

The Spice Girls’ 1996 debut single Wannabe includes the lyrics: ‘Slam your body down and wind it all around, ‘if you want my future, forget my past’ and ‘friendship never ends’.

In Brooklyn’s scathing statement on Monday, he accused his parents Victoria, 51, and David, 50, of trying to ruin his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and said his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ on him during his 2022 nuptials to the billionaire heiress.

However, their wedding DJ Fat Tony appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Friday to reveal exactly what happened during the reception.

The 60-year-old branded the incident ‘really awkward’ and confirmed that Nicola fled the reception in tears.

Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckhams, claimed that Marc Anthony was to blame, revealing the musician had called Victoria to the dance floor with her son and instructed him, ‘place your hands on your mother’s hips’.

He explained: ‘There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!

‘The word “inappropriate”, why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened.’

Tony continued: ‘What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage.

‘Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says “Victoria, come to the stage”.’

In his scathing post, Brooklyn had accused Victoria of ‘dancing inappropriately’ on him during his 2022 nuptials to Nicola

He revealed that Brooklyn looked ‘devastated’ at the fact his first dance was with Victoria and not his wife, adding that Nicola left the room ‘crying her eyes out’.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the DJ said at one point Brooklyn’s hands were on his mother’s waist while her arms were placed around his neck.

‘The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom’s moment,’ he told us.

‘It was in the heat of the moment.

‘Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her.

‘Nicola’s family left, they went after their daughter.

‘Marc Anthony is a latin singer. It was a love song.’

When asked if Brooklyn had his hands on Victoria’s hips, he said: ‘Well, yeah. It was slow dancing, it wasn’t like some samba number. Victoria had her arms around his neck.’

Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding DJ Fat Tony finally recounted the exact details of the dance during an appearance on This Morning

He went on: ‘Brooklyn is a friend of mine. The whole situation is just awful, the way it’s played out so publicly.

‘Families are families, I don’t know what started it. At one point someone might say something publicly.’

He continued: ‘Brooklyn is upset about a lot of things, sometimes the smallest of things can become the biggest of things, because it highlights it.

‘I’m not speaking bad about either party in it, I’m just putting the narrative straight about the dance.’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
