Melanie Brown's ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar has claimed Victoria and David Beckham once forgot Brooklyn's date of birth as he weighs into their family feud.
Brooklyn released an explosive six-page statement on Monday where he said he did not wish to reconcile with his family and accused his parents of intentionally trying ruin his relationship to wife Nicola Peltz.
While the Beckhams have maintained their silence and public support for Victoria, 51, builds with her solo single reaching number one in the iTunes charts, Mel B's first husband Jimmy appears to be fanning the flames after posing a string of messags about David in recent weeks.
In a post on Thursday afternoon, Jimmy, 51, claimed David and Victoria could not remember their first born's date of birth as he seemingly recalled a memory from many years ago.
Jimmy shared to his followers: 'Yo David remember the fun we all had when you came to my house for your first tattoo.
'The birthdate of your first born, left side lower back. Only thing was, you and Vicky couldn't remember the date so Vicky had to call her mum to make sure.'

He concluded his post: 'So much fun, but nothing in your book or docu bout it. How come?'
Daily Mail has approached representatives for both David and Victoria for comment.
Dutch dancer Jimmy who was married to Scary Spice from 1998 until 2000, previously accused former footballer David of copying his style in a series of ramblings.
Back in October, Jimmy claimed David's memorable sarong outfit he wore during the 1998 World Cup in France as well as his love of cooking and even some of his tattoos were actually inspired by him.
He also went on to claim that he'd been approached to work as one of David's stylists, before mysteriously missing out on the job.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola have switched off comments on their separate Instagram accounts following his statement.
The nepo baby is now believed to be 'lying low' following his statement and the Daily Mail can reveal he has limited commenting from fans on his public posts.

Actress Nicola has also changed her settings on the Meta-owned social media platform to control the backlash.
Since Brooklyn took aim at his mother, where he claimed Victoria had 'danced inappropriately' on him during his 2022 nuptials to Nicola, support for the former Spice Girl has grown.
And, despite memes poking fun at her, including AI videos seemingly depicting her dance with Brooklyn, her solo singles have reentered the music charts.
On Thursday afternoon, she bagged her first ever solo number one after a huge social media campaign pushed her to the top of the chart.
Victoria's 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl, a track which showcased Posh Spice's raunchy dance moves, has shot to number one on the iTunes chart in the UK and Ireland.
The chart positions have been driven by a social media campaign which is determined to 'fix the national tragedy' that 'Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1.'
'Nothing says "British Culture" like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces,' reads a viral post on Instagram which has been shared by the likes of Katherine Ryan and Luisa Zissman.
Victoria's youngest son Cruz also helped with the promo effort, using his mum's song to soundtrack one of his Instagram Stories.

Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full
I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.
My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.
My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.
We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
Brooklyn's younger brother Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, have both been spotted since their brother's statement.
Whilst Victoria has not been spotted, Sir David was heckled on Tuesday as he faced the media at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
When asked about the feud, he declined to answer any direct questions but he later spoke, somewhat ironically, on the perils and virtues of children using social media.
In an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, he said that he has tried to 'educate' his own children about the dangers of social media apps while also showing them how they can work for 'good'.
'I've always spoken about social media and the power of social media for the good and for the bad,' he said on stage.
The former Manchester United star said he'd been able to use his 'platform' and his position as a Unicef ambassador to 'make people aware of what's going on around the world for children'.
He added: 'I've tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
'They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn.'
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz have been at the heart of the acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father Sir David's milestone 50th birthday and knighthood.
