I’m a ‘nepo daddy’ and proud of it: Lana Del Rey’s pop releases album

nypost.com:

nepo babies — the derogatory term for Hollywood offspring who magically wind up following in their celebrity parents’ footsteps.Now, meet the world’s first nepo daddy.As a former advertising copywriter, it’s possible that 69-year-old Rob Grant, piano man and father to Lana Del Rey, might have eventually come up with the term as a way to market himself and his debut album, “Lost at Sea.”But someone on social media beat him to the verbal punch.

And he loved it.“I first saw it in my comments, and I thought, ‘Holy smokes, that’s a beautiful brand!’ ” Grant told The Post.“So I went out and registered the domain nepodaddy.com, and then I called the guys at Decca [Records, his label] and said, ‘We’ve got to do merch around this … I love kind of being the first nepo daddy out there.”Grant has his 37-year-old firstborn — whose alt-pop allure has led her to six Grammy nominations, including an Album of the Year nod for 2019’s “Norman F—king Rockwell!” — to thank for his new nepo-daddy notoriety.

And with Father’s Day just a week away, he’s one proud papa about working with his famous daughter on his first LP.“For over a decade, she has persevered,” said Grant of his daughter, born Elizabeth Grant, who made her major-label debut with 2012’s “Born to Die.” “She’s stayed totally true to her own unique style of music.

And she’s now arrived at a point, culturally, where I think she’s at her apex. You know, so many artists look up to her. Her music is loved around the world.
