Multiple reports say Justin Trudeau’s son, Xavier (often referred to as “Xav”), addresses criticism of his music career, including claims that he is a “nepo baby.” The articles describe an interview in which Xavier discusses growing up in a well-known family and responds to public scrutiny of his path as a musician. They also note that Xavier released his first single shortly after Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Canada’s prime minister. According to the coverage, the timing of the debut and the visibility of his family have contributed to online and media criticism, with some commentators questioning whether industry attention and opportunities stem from his background rather than his work. In the interview described by the sources, Xavier appears to defend his artistic choices and career approach, while acknowledging that he has faced backlash. The reports provide limited additional detail about specific songs, chart performance, or formal statements from music industry figures, focusing mainly on the criticism and Xavier’s responses.
