Kim Kardashian has no time for anyone trying to dampen her daughter’s spirit.  

The Skims founder decried critics of North West’s performance in a special concert version of The Lion King during an episode of The Kardashians that aired on Thursday.

The then-10-year-old performed in the live-action play at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles last May, performing I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.

“I already know what’s coming, you know, that she’s not Whitney Houston,” Kim said in a confessional as North rehearsed her role onstage. 

“Duh!” the mum-of-four continued to the camera before mimicking people who would inevitably say: “She got the job because of her parents.”

“North is the moment,” Kim said matter-of-factly. “They wanna see North West on a TikTok, on a this, on a anything. Because she’s a personality – a performer.

“And if anyone wants to hate on a child that is having the time of their lives... fuck you.” 

People did inevitably come for North’s performance and nepo-baby casting, with talk show host and comedian Rosie O’Donnell calling it “tragic on every level” at the time. 

The singer and screenwriter Nick Atkinson shared a similar message on Instagram. 

“Any performer or parent of a young performer who has spent years training in acting, dance and singing, is allowed to be really really deeply offended by this casting choice,” he said.
