Justin Trudeau's musician son voices surprising entitlement as he endeavors to demonstrate he's not a product of nepotism.
GOING DIFFERENT: XAVIER TRUDEAU'S JOURNEY TO FIND HIS OWN PATH
Xav Trudeau, formerly known as Justin Trudeau's son, is diving headfirst into the world of R&B music. In an intriguing twist, Xav is using his famous dad to promote his music, all while insisting he ain't a nepo baby.
Not long after dropping his third single titled Back Me Up, Xav jumped in a car with viral food reviewer G Hobs for a candid chat about his childhood as the PM's eldest spent growing up in the limelight.
Penthouse digs, bodyguards galore, and rubbing elbows with A-list stars certainly had their perks, Xav admitted. Despite the luxurious lifestyle, there was something missing for the teen.
"It's not normal, but you know what it is, it's different," Xav told G Hobs in a video posted to both their accounts. "It was always a good feeling until I got a little older. This is part of why I'm actually starting to do this stuff because it always felt super good to be in these places, security around me, private escort, it was always a sick feeling."
But the wealthy fifteen-year-old couldn't shake the feeling of being unfulfilled. He knew that the lavish life he lived was never built by him; it was a result of his father's success. So, Xav wants to forge his own identity.
"I don't feel fulfilled. Like this isn't me," he lamented to the influencer. "I want to be Xav, I don't want to be Justin Trudeau's son."
As Xav turns eighteen, he's eager to create an identity for himself. Living off his dad's coat-tails isn't in the plan. In his debut song, Til The Nights Done, he sings, "What you know about me? I ain't like him."
In his latest single, Xav seems to address his intriguing lifestyle and the discretion used around high-profile families. He croons, "I'm not just anybody, where I'm from / Keep it discreet, I keep it (Shh) / They won't even let me go out alone."
Xav's father stepped down from his position on January 6 after nearly a decade in power, bowing to rising discontent over his leadership and turmoil within his government. But the question remains: will Xav succeed in carving out his own identity in the music industry, or will his famous dad's shadow continue to loom?
The nepo baby certainly has ambition, exploration, and a drive to be his own man. Only time will tell if he can break free and make a name for himself in the realm of R&B music. Let's keep a close eye on Xav as he embarks on this musical journey. 🎵🎤🚀
