A TIKTOK rapper has shocked fans when he revealed he is the son of a huge 90s boyband star.
The cheeky lad didn’t hold back as he roasted his famous father for his “s*** music” as he poked fun at him at one of his gigs.
The rising TikTok star in question is Phoenix JD, who is the son of James ‘Spike’ Dawbarn, 51, from 90s’ boyband, 911.
In a new post this week, the young rapper shared a video from backstage at one of his dad’s gigs.
In the clip, Phoenix was seen mocking his dad as he rehearsed with 911 bandmates Lee Brennan, 52, and Jimmy Constable, 54, who are supporting Blue on their tour.
Addressing his followers, Spike’s cheeky son said: “There’s their little soundcheck. I don’t know why they need to do a soundcheck, still sound s**t!”

“But yeah, and then this is them on stage. There’s me dad on the right.”
Poking fun at Spike, he said: “Thankfully, I don’t get my musical ability from him, you know, I’ve got a bit about me.
“I hope he doesn’t see this now. He’ll kill me.
“But hey, this is him at 51 still trying to do back flips – and nearly decked it.
“I would’ve flipping loved it if he decked it.”
Phoenix also added he only went to the gig “to see Blue”.
Fans of 911 from back in the day went wild for the video, with one joking: “Oi your dad was a legend to us fossils!!”
Another quipped: “Lmfao! The way your roasting your dad! I’ll have you know 14-year-old me loved your dad’s band!”
This fan said: “I was obsessed with 911 still love them now! You’ve got your dad’s humour!”
Meanwhile, along with Lee and Jimmy, Phoenix’s dad Spike had a huge amount of fame in the 90s.
The band formed in 1995 when Jimmy met Spike whilst working as a dancer on the show The Hitman and Her.
The trio sold out arenas thanks to their hits like Bootyshakin’ and A Little Bit More.
911’s epic success
911 were an English boyband made up of Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Simon ‘Spike’ Dawbarn
In their five years together, 911 had 10 UK top 10 singles, including Bootyshakin’.
They sold 10 million singles and six million albums around the world.
They split in February 2000, but reunited in 2013 for a special world tour and now continue to perform together.
Spike previously looked back on his time in the trio and joked that he was “treated like Harry Potter at the Dursley’s house”.
Appearing on the BBC’s Boyband Forever doc, the star spoke about his bizarre living arrangements when the band were in their heyday.
“Jimmy got one bedroom, Lee got another bedroom and I was in the cupboard like Harry Potter,” he explained.
“On a mattress, in a cupboard. It’s literally where you’d just throw a load of coats in there.”
“And I just didn’t care to be honest, I wasn’t bothered,” he laughed.
In their early days, the band would tour schools across the country and perform for students.
“I used to come in, press play, do your singing and dancing routines, do your bit then load yourself back in the van and go to the next school,” he said.
