Jack Whitehall has openly discussed Becky Hill’s diss track about him. The 37-year-old comedian referred to singer Becky as the “Wetherspoons Whitney” at the BRIT Awards last year. In response, Becky released a track titled “Daddy’s Range Rover,” highlighting Jack’s privileged background as the son of Michael Whitehall, a prominent showbiz talent agent.
During a recent performance, Becky expressed her frustration by stating, “I’ve had enough of all this, so I wrote about it. This song, affectionately dubbed Wetherspoons Whitney, is dedicated to you, Jack.” In a new interview, Jack acknowledged the diss and mentioned that as a comedian, he was surprised it took this long for someone to create a song or diss track about him. He also shared that he apologized to Becky when they met recently.
Jack, who presented the BRIT Awards again this year, faced criticism for his performance, with some viewers accusing him of making derogatory remarks aimed at the working class. Despite the backlash, Jack accepted that he will always be seen as posh and recalled using a mock-Cockney accent in his early stand-up days to avoid being perceived as overly privileged.
Becky responded to Jack’s initial comment by highlighting her own background and hard work, emphasizing that she had not received any special treatment. She criticized Jack for associating a Midlands accent with negative stereotypes, suggesting it reflected more on his own privilege.
The incident between Jack and Becky sparked a social media debate, with fans sharing their views on the matter.
