Cruz Beckham has taken aim at older brother Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz in a series of foul-mouthed social media messages, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The youngest Beckham brother, 20, escalated the ongoing Beckham-Peltz feud this week after sharing a string of cryptic jabs on Instagram notes, referring to 'a fraud' and a family of 'c**ts'.
Insiders exclusively told DailyMail.com the not-so-subtle digs were directed at his big brother and his sister-in-law - further fueling the bitter family rift that has pitted Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, against the rest of the Beckham clan.
Along with labeling Nicola's billionaire relatives 'a whole family o' c***s', an outraged Cruz took jabs at his brother, saying: 'ur a d**k now', according to the posts obtained by DailyMail.com.
He also raged: 'Instant karma gonna get you' and 'Ur dead to me now', in additional posts.
In another message, he seemed to accuse his brother of having 'Stockholm Syndrome', echoing mom Victoria's reported claims that her daughter-in-law has too much control over her eldest son.

'Brooklyn and Nicola have been on the receiving end of a relentless barrage of criticism and Cruz's posts have just made things worse,' a source close to the family told DailyMail.com.
'The tension in the family has been building up since the wedding and now it's out of hand.
'When people react in the way Cruz has with these vitriolic messages, it just makes things much worse.'
Cruz has a history of making thinly veiled social media slights about Brooklyn.
Recently, he responded to a comment left on a TikTok video showing Brooklyn performing his latest single that asked if he 'was going to become a racing car driver next or something?'
In a snarky reference to Brooklyn's attempts at various careers - including stints as a chef, a photographer, and a publicly stated desire to become an F1 driver - Cruz quipped: 'Wrong brother mate'.
The source of the strained family ties appears to be long-standing tensions between Brooklyn's mother and his wife - who had seemed to have a friendly relationship up until the couple's April 2022 wedding.
But rumors began to swirl after Nicola picked a custom Valentino gown for her and Brooklyn's $3.5million lavish ceremony at the Palm Beach home of her parents.
The controversial choice allegedly infuriated fashion designer mother-in-law Victoria, 51, who expected to be the one to design the wedding dress. Nicola later explained the decision was made because Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time.
Additional reports claimed Nicola was also enraged when the former Spice Girl 'hijacked' the newlyweds' first dance at the wedding reception to take the floor with her son.
Following the wedding, things became even frostier between Nicola and Victoria who – despite denying reports about troubled waters between them – were notably absent from each other's social media accounts.

'As much as the Beckhams claim to love Brooklyn, they are acting like they want to damage Nicola,' the source added.
'Nicola tried to ingratiate herself with Victoria but seems like there is no satisfying that family.'
Adding fuel to the fire has been Nicola's decision to avoid most Beckham family gatherings – leaving Brooklyn to attend alone.
Until December, the feud was relatively low key but that all changed when Romeo, 22, reportedly began dating London-based DJ Kim Turnbull - Brooklyn's reported ex-girlfriend.
But Turnbull, who has since distanced herself from Romeo, last month angrily denied ever having a romance with his older brother.
Speculation reached a fever pitch earlier this year when fans began to notice Brooklyn and Nicola's silence and absence from major family events.

The eldest Beckham sibling was unusually quiet on social media for his mom's 51st birthday in April, after missing out on her Paris Fashion Week debut in March.
The feud then spilled into the open the following month when Brooklyn and Nicola turned down an invitation to dad David's lavish 50th birthday party. Brooklyn chose to avoid coming face-to face with Turnbull.
This was after he had already missed his dad's pre-birthday fishing trip with his brothers in Scotland.
Still, the couple stayed in London for seven days hoping to have a more intimate birthday celebration with David and Victoria. That was not to be.
The pair were again silent when David was handed a knighthood in the King's birthday honor in June.
Brooklyn didn't publicly pay tribute to his dad on Father's Day last month, however, he did wish little sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on July 10 while studiously ignoring the rest.
Earlier this month, DailyMail.com reported that Brooklyn also conspicuously unfollowed Cruz and Romeo although he is still following his parents' accounts and sister Harper's.
'Anyone can relate to what the Beckhams are going through,' says the insider.
'Every family has its grievances and squabbles, and they are no exception. Except that they are The Beckhams and it's played out in public.
'Reacting to the dispute with such negativity in these mean-spirited slurs makes it harder for everyone.
'It's time to calm things down. Nicola and Brooklyn are real people and it's terribly hurtful.'
Victoria and David did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
When contacted, reps for Cruz replied: 'No comment.'
Despite the division, the Beckhams were spotted enjoying their annual summer getaway on their $21million yacht last weekend off the coast of St Tropez.
While second son Romeo, 22, enjoyed jet ski ride in the sunshine, David and Victoria opted for some downtime on the vessel with daughter Harper, photos show.
The couple traded in their $6.7million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami.
