'Nepo babies' in music: the good, the bad and the unexpected

from How We Heard It · host howweheardit

Hollywood is full of "nepo babies"- so much so that you might wonder if every famous actor today is the child of a famous actor or producer. The same is true in the music industry, and you might be surprised who got a leg up on the competition thanks to mom and/or dad. In this episode, veteran entertainment journalists Chuck Campbell and Wayne Bledsoe talk about the celebrity offspring of some of the biggest stars in music - ranging from the Beatles, Frank Sinatra to Hank Williams to Lenny Kravitz, Will Smith and Madonna. Some of these nepo babies have failed to live up to expectations while others became bigger stars than their parents. Chuck and Wayne also take a look at Blue Ivy Carter - whose parents, Beyonce and Jay-Z have been trying to make her a star since she was two days old. Is she destined for glory? Does she even want it?
