Elle King, 35, is getting candid about the \u201cnepo baby\u201d label.
She is the daughter of actor Rob Schneider, 60, and former model London King.<\/p>\n\u201cI do work really hard. I don’t think I ever really got scooted into the \u2018nepo baby\u2019 thing.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
If her father\u2019s career in Hollywood had an influence over the career or ‘direction’ she chose in life. She and her father weren\u2019t super close when she first got signed to her music label.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was more of like a deterrent. We really weren’t even speaking\u2026 I was a lot closer with my mom’s family in Ohio, and so I just have always gone by my mom’s last name.\u201d<\/i> <\/p>\n
It’s easy to judge her from an outside perspective, since if anyone Googled her, his name usually was the first thing that popped up \u2014 but it couldn\u2019t have been further from the truth. <\/p>\n\u201cI was born in California, and nobody knows that I really grew up in Ohio, and [I] didn’t even move to New York until I was a teenager. So, I feel like it’s just so unfair. And, yeah, of course, there can be any situation in the world and be like, \u2018OK. It’s so much easier to just look surface level and not think that there could be any layers to anything ever,\u2019\u201d<\/i>
