WATCH — Xavier Trudeau responds to haters after dropping debut single
Xavier Trudeau, the 17-year-old son of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has just launched his music career under the name Xav.
He dropped his debut single on Friday, an R&B track titled Til The Nights Done. The track was released on major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, along with a music video on YouTube.
Reactions poured in, with many comments praising the track and congratulating Xav. Others, however, were quick to hate.
Many of the negative comments focused on Xav's father rather than the music itself.
Want to see how Xav responded to the haters? CBC Kids News contributor Sophia Smoke interviewed him, so watch the video below to find out.
Does the Trudeau name help or hurt?
While Xav may have to navigate some negativity related to his dad, music industry expert Eric Alper said he could also use his father's fame to his advantage.
'He absolutely should trade on the name,' Alper told CBC News in a previous interview. 'The curiosity factor will open some opportunities.'
But Xav will also have to prove himself, Alper said.
According to Xav, his next opportunity to do that isn't too far away.
He hinted that a new single, called Everything I Know, would be coming out soon.

Former NFL star Ochocinco responds after TikToker reveals contents of old storage locker
A storage unit that belonged to former NFL star wideout Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson was bought by an online influencer who later revealed its contents online. Prieto Hunters, a TikTok and YouTube star, said he bought the unit for $890, which is located in Miami, according to Daily Mail . Johnson has said he used to own the locker, but wrote on X: 'I don't want all that old a** s***.' Hunters showed there were cockroaches amongst the stuff. He said it was filled with pricey items, including a mink vest he estimated might fetch $5,000, to autographed memorabilia from Johnson's days in the NFL. It also reportedly housed plenty of shoes, including Yves Saint Laurent and soccer cleats signed by Brazilian star Ronaldinho, plus guitars and designer clothes. Ochocinco made plenty of money during his NFL career, went on Dancing with the Stars , and now co-hosts a podcast called Night Cap with fellow former NFLer Shannon Sharpe. The pair talked in a Tuesday episode about Ochocinco's surprise at seeing his old storage unit being investigated. Johnson claims on the episode it was actually not one but two storage units cleaned out by the TikToker and said he doesn't want to 'hoard' stuff from '2004 or 2005' that he no longer wears or needs.

'That's late 20 year-old, 30 year-old Chad,' he says. 'I'm about to be 50, I'm not going to wear,' he said before Sharpe cut him off to say he could have donated the items. 'Do I look like the person that's gonna take all that stuff and donate it?' he asked. Johnson said once he was done with football, he lost interest in any of the memorabilia.
