Lexi Jones knows she's under pressure to live up to her late father's legacy. However, the daughter of Iman and the late David Bowie —who passed in 2016 following a battle with pancreatic cancer—shared a special poem she wrote to remind others that there is more to her than just being the music icon's offspring. “I’m the daughter of a legend, but I’m more than just his name," she wrote in the poem posted to her Instagram April 10.
"They see the blood, they hear the sound, yet fail to see me, don’t feel the same." Noting that she’s “not a copy, not a shadow” of her later father, Lexi—who released her debut album " Xandri " earlier this month—continued, “They compare me to his heights, like I’m supposed to reach his light." Her words gave insight into how her goals aren't to live up to her father’s legacy, but to love what she does and show her true self through her music.
"But I’m not here to chase what’s already been done," she wrote. "By loving what I do, I feel I’ve already won.” And Lexi closed out her poem by vowing not to let others opinions stop her from pursuing her passion.
"Never thought I was good at much. Never thought it was worth it to pursue," she wrote, “I’m not trying to be that someone that all love and admire. So I’m creating my own rhythm, letting my true self show.
" Lexi added, "But I’ll keep moving, keep doing me even when the world is hard to please. I’m not trying to fill his shoes, I’m just trying to find my own peace.” A post shared by Lexi Jones (@_p0odle_) As for Iman—who was married to Bowie for 23 years until his death—the supermodel has previously spoken out about the people who took interest in her daughter because of who her parents are.
"Every agency, every designer, called me to say: ‘If she wants to, we’d love for her to model for us.’ I said: 'No, she doesn't,'" Iman explained in a 2018 interview with Porter magazine . "I know why they wanted to her to model.
It’s because she is David Bowie's daughter." For more celeb kids, read on. Jodie Sweetin & Zoie Herpin The Full House alum appears with her look-alike eldest daughter (left) and daughter Beatrix during a trip to Jamaica in 2023.
