Kim Kardashian is standing firm against criticism as she celebrates her daughter North West’s role in FKA Twigs’ latest music video.
On Thursday, March 27th, the 44-year-old reality star shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, gushing about her 11-year-old daughter’s performance in the video for Childlike Things. Kardashian posted behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot, captioning the post with “Proud of my baby.”
North, the daughter of Kardashian and ex-husband Kanye West, made her debut in the music video, which has stirred up mixed reactions. FKA Twigs previously explained that she and her team wanted to cast someone with “childlike energy” and a “strong point of view,” which led them to select North for the role.
While the video has garnered some negative attention, with critics arguing that it was an inappropriate role for a young child, Kardashian is brushing off the negativity. She remains supportive of her daughter’s involvement in the project, focusing on the positive.
This comes after a surprising revelation on a recent episode of The Kardashians, where Kardashian shared North’s impressive rise to fame. The 11-year-old generated 22 billion impressions and over $1 billion in advertising media with her viral Lion King performance, surpassing the popularity of her family members.
Kardashian quipped, “Wait a minute. North West has 18% more popularity than all of her family members. Um, okay, we’re gonna have to work on this. North, you’re not gonna take me down!”
Despite the controversy, it’s clear that Kardashian is incredibly proud of her daughter’s success and is focused on supporting her in her blossoming career.
