A bombshell new book explores Victoria and David Beckham’s rocky relationship, with author, Tom Bower, unveiling some huge revelations in The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power
David Beckham was “disturbed” by his wife Victoria’s relationship with rapper, Damon Dash, writes Tom Bower.
The investigative journalist’s new book The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, which is being serialised by the Mirror before its release on June 20.
It takes a deep dive into the relationship of one of the most influential couples in the world, including their rocky romance.
During David Beckham’s tenure at Real Madrid, Victoria Beckham’s friendship with a wealthy rapper reportedly strained their time in Spain, with promises to revive her pop career post-Spice Girls.
Victoria would, the book claims, frequently spend time in New York with Dash to produce an album which never saw the light of day.
Offering his take on how Dash affected David, Bower writes: “Dash’s interference in the Beckhams’ married life disturbed David. At the end of a Real Madrid press conference in early November, Beckham burst out: ‘All this speculation about my wife not being happy, it can’t carry on – it’s all rubbish. She’s very happy here in Madrid. There are no problems in our marriage.’”
Victoria made a rap album with Dash, which featured hip hop icon Ol’ Dirty B*****d. Back in 2003, the artist formerly known as Posh Spice had plans to release the offering called Come Together, but it ended up being shelved. Dash, the co-founder of a £200 million rap music and fashion empire, was a close friend of Victoria’s and had been working with the former Spice Girl on 12 new tracks.
But her record label, Telstar, which paid £1.5 million to sign her, was said to be nervous about Dash’s image and hard-core sound. Dash’s Roc-A-Fella label included controversial rappers Jay-Z and Ol’ Dirty B*****d – both known for their x-rated lyrics – while Telstar reportedly preferred Victoria to remain true to her pristine pop roots.
However, leaping to her defence, the rapper alleged there was bad blood between the singer and her label, telling Telstar to back off. Dash told the Evening Standard: “Because Victoria’s record company aren’t happy about the fact that she came over to New York to work with me they are putting out stories.
“Before anyone’s even heard the album they were making things up. I heard a story that Victoria was calling herself the female Eminem.” He continued: “That’s just dumb. She never said that. I’m going to open Roc- a- Fella Records in London. I’ll show these Telstar cats how it’s done.”
