“She’s Heartless”—North West made shocking revelation about her Mother claiming heartless and wicked after Kim Kardashian tried to steal her spotlight by overshadowing her Lion King role
Kim Kardashian came under fire on Tuesday after her fans accused her of trying to upstage her daughter North West’s recent performance in a live version of The Lion King.
The 43-year-old reality TV icon set off the controversy when she posted several photos of herself in a furry yellow coat and an oversize trapper hat — which was a dead ringer for her 10-year-old daughter’s costume when she performed on stage as Simba at the Hollywood Bowl in May.
North — whom Kim shares with her ex-husband Kanye West — was cast in a screening of The Lion King that featured live musical numbers synced to the iconic Disney animated film.
She sang as young Simba, and the show featured some of the original Lion King stars, including Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella.
Kim, who shared footage of herself and her younger daughter Chicago singing along with North at the show, was accused by several of her fans of trying to steal North’s moment after she posed for a photoshoot in the exact same style as one showcasing her daughter’s costume.
‘You couldn’t let your daughter have a moment u had to wear it too,’ wrote one infuriated user.
‘Why can’t she ever let anyone have their moment. Always wats to outdo the original [sic],’ another person commented on her Instagram post.
One person joked that North’s show-stopping role must have made Kim want a ‘part’ in The Lion King too.
Others took the fact that Kim posed in a similar outfit as North’s to claim that her daughter’s performance was ‘just a promotional stunt.’
A particularly annoyed poster tried to guess what might have been inside the Kardashians star’s mind.
‘”Let’s make it about me,”‘ they suggested.
North’s rendition of I Just Can’t Wait To Be King ended up going viral, and many social media users mocked the quality of her performance, while others assailed her as nothing more than an undeserving ‘nepo baby.’
One poster took North’s poorly reviewed performance as evidence that Kim had set it up for ‘business’ reasons.
