At first, Meriem Derradji introduced “nepo babies” to public awareness through a tweet. When media outlets quickly attacked her as being hired due to who her parents are, Meriem took offense at being treated unfairly; her anger showed how this issue has split generations apart; particularly between millennials and Gen-Xers who think having an established last name will grant them unearned privileges in life.

Since then, the topic has grown into a viral meme and an entire subgenre of trolling that involves calling people out based on the last names of their parents. It seems particularly potent on TikTok where anyone whose parents are well-known often endures intense scrutiny that’s hard to shake.

However, while it’s easy to become consumed by the minutiae of nepotism–NY Mag’s cover touted these children as “The All But Definitive Guide to Hollywood Nepo-Verse,” and Vulture called them the “powder keg of celebrity children”–it is important to keep in mind there may be valid reasons why certain actors may have more clout than other. A celebrity child brings with them an instant audience of millions for wardrobe reveals or war-drama reels!

That is a lot of people to impress, which explains why kids with famous parents can be such entertaining online content. One such TikTok star is Neba Mazee – self-described “sexy hottie” with 258409 fans following her videos online. Her teases are provocative while her personality infectious – no surprise she enjoys growing fan bases each time she uploads new content!
