Nepo babies get a bad rap
Summary
Nepo babies get a bad rap, according to a rider Kareem meets in Chicago who's ready to defend Hollywood's most privileged. The conversation kicks off with examples like Steph Curry and Angelina Jolie, then veers into Chet Hanks territory. The rider admits he's neither a nepo baby nor married to one but would "absorb and accept" nepotism if given the chance. He dreams of his kids eating "oysters and seafood towers" instead of mac and cheese with ground beef. Kareem agrees, sort of. He wants his daughter to be a nepo baby too, though not enough to let her take over Subway Takes. The key? Full disclosure. You have to embrace it. Plus, nepo babies pay for dinners and flights, which sounds pretty sick.
