Supporting VB to get to No1 is just reinforcing brand beckham

VB fans supporting an old single to get to number one to show support is just reinforcing the brand beckham
narrative?

It’s partially validating Brooklyn Beckhams claims about that is all that matters. Fickle fans not able to see this is a fractured mother son relationship?

If you were a real fan and admirer would you not just wish them well and give the family space to work through their issues?

People buying her music makes no impact on anyone's day to day life. It's not like they're queuing up outside her house with fists of cash expecting her to cut a dub plate while she deals with her private family issues.

Agreed in a physical sense no but it’s all about the brand, perception and the meaning that takes on so arguably it does impact those intangible things.

I wonder how Brooklyn feels seeing her get the ‘support’ but I also think VB might not want that image ‘not such an innocent girl’ narrative reinforcing. I can’t seen any winners here.
