Ice Cube‘s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., is stepping in to comment on the “nepo baby” conversation.
For the uninitiated, a nepo baby—aka nepotism baby—is a slightly derogatory label that describes people who followed in the footsteps of their celebrity parents.

This piece takes a deep-dive into various nepo babies who are taking over Hollywood, including stars like Zoë Kravitz, Lily-Rose Depp, Brooklyn Beckham, Maude Apatow, and many more. We should also note that some of these stars were featured on the cover with their mugs cropped onto newborn babies.
