Now that Donald Trump has bigger responsibilities to worry about, Piers Morgan has really stepped up his troll game by BLASTING David Beckham and Victoria Beckham over pushing their son into fame!

The famous couple’s 11-year-old Cruz Beckham, just dropped his VERY FIRST single, If Everyday Was Christmas, and Piers had some harsh words for the little one’s folks!
After Cruz’s song was released early on Wednesday, the almost teen and his parents all promoted the single on Instagram and Twitter, but Morgan criticized the celebs on Good Morning Britain for trying to “exploit their family for commercial gain.” This of course comes only a day after the controversial celeb bashed Madonna for her Carpool Karaoke sesh!
The British show took to Twitter to share the clip as Mr. Morgan slammed David and Victoria:
It’s out with the sick bucket again with @piersmorgan and today’s culprit is Cruz Beckham and his new Christmas single… @susannareid100 pic.twitter.com/R7rZKYAAZf

Though the Beckhams haven’t responded, Scooter Braun, who recently signed Cruz, stuck up for the preteen as he tweeted:
He is an 11 year old who wanted to make a song to help other kids. Once again Piers shows why he is a jackass and why his show was cancelled https://t.co/5d3Rr7CKjM

Some people in this world make a living out of finding the worst in every situation. It means they have a career..not class. Just a career
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
Good on you @CruzBeckham . I’m proud to help you help others. Hope this encourages other kids this holiday season to #giveback
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
But Piers, trying to level his troll powers up, just had to respond:
He’s an 11yr-old child being cynically pimped out by his famous parents with your collusion. Be proud Scooter! https://t.co/5jixIEBM8m
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
Let him compete on a level playing field then. https://t.co/5Q4D68DtV1

I’m trying to protect Cruz Beckham from his fame-hungry parents. https://t.co/vOqXuS5qfh
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
Don’t worry though, Scooter wasn’t done yet:
. @piersmorgan how about you match him dollar for dollar to the charity? Instead of criticizing step up and help these kids the way Cruz is.
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
The former America’s Got Talent Judge then responded to the manager and continued to tweet:
Stop pretending this is about charity when it’s about promoting Brand Beckham & making YOU a ton of money off another young kid’s back. https://t.co/5kZySmr49I
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
Shame he hasn’t earned any of this fame off his own ability. https://t.co/WByX5MNIjm
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
Don’t be so naive. Cruz is just being used by his parents to promote Brand Beckham. I feel sorry for the poor kid. https://t.co/oDwT7XneKj
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
The one thing you could never accuse the Beckhams of is having class. https://t.co/7T0GnGLC62
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
And then they got into a bit of an exchange:
. @piersmorgan I will take that as a no…no u won’t support charity like an 11 year old will. But u can judge kids when u get paid on BGT?
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
Talent shows are a level playing field for kids and adults to discover how good they are. Not famous parents exploiting their brand. https://t.co/ADuUAeEQ6P
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
. @piersmorgan please answer my question and stop dodging with bs. Will u match his donation to charity? Or continue to be a hypocrite?
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
Only one massive hypocrite around here, Scooter – the guy using a kid to line his pockets. Again… https://t.co/1SyvFmFHaM
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2016
What we learned tonight… pic.twitter.com/mROWd4NMsZ
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
While the 51-year-old continued to respond to fans on Twitter and slam the Beckhams, Braun ended things on his end by tweeting:
I can’t stand bullies
— Scooter Braun (@scooterbraun) December 7, 2016
Truth!
Though Piers’ criticism was focused on Mr. and Mrs. Beckham, the Brit was still WAY too harsh — especially since it was mere HOURS after the kid dropped his very first single. NOT COOL, bro.
Ch-ch-check out the song for yourself (below) and let us know if you’re digging Cruz’s Christmas jam and whether or not you agree with Morgan!
