Mel B Channels Her 'Scary Spice' Roots at AGT Finale!

Mel B made a nod to her Scary Spice days as she arrived at the America's Got Talent finale performances in Los Angeles on Tuesday

Scary Spice's Daughter Spills the Tea on Growing Up Famous

Mel B, the 50-year-old singer and former member of the iconic girl group Spice Girls, was spotted looking fierce in a colorful leopard print minidress at the America's Got Talent finale performances in Los Angeles on Tuesday. But what caught our attention wasn't just her bold style - it was her daughter Phoenix Brown's candid interview with The Scholarly Note.com, where she dished out some juicy secrets about growing up as a "nepo baby".

For those who don't know, the term "nepo baby" refers to children of celebrities who are often seen as having an unfair advantage in life. But Phoenix is breaking free from that label and forging her own path. In a bold move, she released a Channel 4 documentary last year called Born in the Limelight – Nepo Babies: Untold, where she explores the challenges and advantages of being a child of fame.

As we all know, Mel B's Spice Girls days are legendary, and Phoenix has often been seen as walking in her mother's footsteps. But it seems like Mel B has been teaching her daughter to find her own way, rather than living in her shadow. In fact, when Phoenix was just 26 years old (yes, you read that right!), she revealed that her mum had a chat with her about being famous and how she shouldn't compare herself to others.

The conversation is reported to have gone something like this: "Mum kind of let me know that 'I'm the famous one and you're not'." But instead of taking it as a slight, Phoenix took it as an opportunity to discover who she was and what she wanted to do with her life. And now, at just 26, she's already making waves in the art world, exhibiting her own work in London and doing DJ gigs on the side.

But Phoenix isn't just focusing on art - she's also using her platform to speak out against the "nepo baby" label. In a candid interview with The Scholarly Note.com, she said: "I was so nervous to do [the documentary] just because it was such a taboo subject... I was like, well, it can go in one or two ways, people can absolutely hate it, mug me off, or they can actually listen and question themselves on it not just being about celebrities, it's everywhere and it's all-around life."

She teamed the blue and yellow number with a clashing pair of thigh-high boots and styled her hair into beachy waves

And when asked if she felt guilty about having famous parents, Phoenix shot back: "It is what it is. I'm not going to shy away from the fact, I am a nepo baby, so go ahead, call me that. But my name is Phoenix." It seems like this young woman is determined to make her own way in life and prove that she's more than just her mother's daughter.

But what about Mel B? We caught up with her at the America's Got Talent finale performances, where she was looking fierce as ever in a colorful leopard print minidress. And it seems like she's still got some tricks up her sleeve - or should we say, in her wardrobe? Alongside fellow judge Sofía Vergara and host Terry Crews, Mel B looked like the ultimate Spice Girl, complete with beachy waves and a clashing pair of thigh-high boots.

As for Phoenix, it looks like she's finally found her own style. In fact, when asked about her fashion sense in an interview with The Scholarly Note.com, she said: "I'm discovering who I am, what I like, who I like, where I want to be... It's a lot of questions, and I just got to figure out the answers, but I'm here for the journey." And judging by her recent appearances on the fashion scene - including walking a London Fashion Week show for cult streetwear and travel accessory label Sprayground - it seems like she's definitely on the right track.

So there you have it, folks - Scary Spice's daughter is breaking free from her mother's shadow and forging her own path in life. And we couldn't be more excited to see what she does next!
