The 19-year-old musician is the daughter of Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, but isn't bothered by suggestions she's achieving success on the back of her dad's fame.
"Obviously, doors are open for me because of my last name," she said in a new interview with The Forty-Five.
"It's not something I'm ever going to hide behind or say: 'No, I worked so hard for this. You guys shouldn't say that. That hurts my feelings.'
"I don't care - I really don't."
Grohl has faced the accusations for years and doesn't allow them to bother her.
"I've heard that since I was 13 years old. So call me a nepo baby all you want. It's 'whatever' to me.
"I just hope that eventually people will give me a shot."
Grohl, who will release her debut studio album, Be Sweet to Me, in May, said she appreciates the privileges she enjoys.
"I'm beyond grateful for the life that I was born into," she said.
"It's such a privilege to be able to be around musicians and in a space that nurtures my interest and allows me to grow and to make a record."
Grohl said female artists were still excluded from some spaces within the music business and "more girls should make punk music".
"It still feels like an exclusive scene," she said.
"Especially when you want to listen to really hardcore shit and run around and mosh, there's a lot of, 'Oh, you're too delicate, you're too feminine, this isn't your place'.
"But I do want to be in that space and I know there are a lot of other girls who want to be there too.
"So I think more girls should make punk music, if these spaces aren't going to allow it."
