Brooklyn Beckham, the 26-year-old entrepreneur, has recently been embroiled in a series of challenges, encompassing both legal disputes concerning his business ventures and a highly publicised rift within his famous family. His company, Buster Hot Sauce Inc, and its condiment, Cloud 23, have been at the centre of these legal battles, following previous reports of disputes with an alcohol brand and various issues at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

A significant legal hurdle emerged when On Cloud, a major footwear brand endorsed by tennis legend Roger Federer, lodged an objection against Brooklyn's Cloud 23 trademark. The firm, enlisting Bristows LLP, raised concerns over classifications including food, alcohol, sauces, live streaming, and sports equipment. Fortunately for Beckham, the issue was ultimately resolved with On Cloud deciding not to pursue its objection, allowing the trademark to be successfully registered. This was not Brooklyn's first encounter with trademark challenges; he had previously faced off against 'Becks beers' over his burger brand, 'Beck's Buns', a matter resolved by removing classifications related to alcoholic beverages. Similarly, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars objected when he sought to trademark a shortened version of its brand, 'C23', leading him to again strip away any alcohol-related classifications. Brooklyn had unveiled Cloud 23 last year, describing it as a deeply personal endeavour: "It's been a passion project of mine for the last 2 and a half years, something I've literally put everything into. I've never worked so hard on anything in my life."

Despite the initial support from his famous family at the Cloud 23 launch, relations have reportedly soured. This year, Brooklyn has been conspicuously absent from several significant family milestones. He missed his father David Beckham's 50th birthday, his dad receiving a knighthood, and various sibling birthdays. In a particularly telling development, his relatives were reportedly not present when he renewed his vows with Nicola Peltz-Beckham this summer, an event allegedly conducted without informing his own family members. The Beckham family has maintained silence on the growing rift, even as it continues to capture widespread public interest.

Amidst the speculation, Victoria Beckham made a cryptic remark during a discussion about the reconciliation of Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis. She told The Sunday Times, "I just think their mum must be so happy. It must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years. And I just think as a mum, that must be... she must feel so happy to see her boys getting on." Following these comments, Brooklyn posted an affectionate photograph with Nicola on social media, accompanied by an adoring message: "Date night with my girl @nicolaannepeltzbeckham." More recently, Brooklyn was notably absent from Victoria's fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, where his mother was supported by his father David, and brothers Cruz, 20, Romeo, 22, and sister Harper, 14. Victoria is also preparing for the launch of her own Netflix documentary, further highlighting the ongoing public narrative surrounding the Beckham family and the widely reported 'Peltz-Beckham feud' and claims that 'Brooklyn has quit the family'.
