Kanye West‘s son, Saint West, has inherited his father’s confidence, dubbing himself a “Mini Kobe Bryant” right before he won on the basketball court

Saint West, the son of Kanye West, exudes confidence as his father did, referring to himself as a “mini Kobe Bryant” just before he makes a basket on the basketball court.

On Saturday, April 13, Saint’s mother, Kim Kardashian, shared a video of her son’s game-winning basket on her Instagram stories.

After the narrowly missed buzzer score, Kardashian shared a picture of the young child’s sneakers with the caption, “mini Kobe,” written on the bottom, honoring the late Los Angeles Lakers star.

Saint West appears to have a natural passion for sports. Saint West is one of Ye’s four children with his ex-wife.

Ye’s 7-year-old son was captured on camera in March 2023, posing for pictures with his mother Kim Kardashian at Paris Saint-Germain vs. Rennes at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France.

In the video, Saint first appears to be grinning broadly for the camera. However, as soon as he realizes that he is also being videotaped, his smile changes to a deep grimace—a look that Kanye has been known for for years.

Ye’s song “No More Parties In LA” provided the perfect backdrop for the scene, especially the words “I be worried about my daughter, I be worried about Kim/ But Saint is baby Ye, I ain’t worried about him.”

Kanye and Kim have been regular attendees at Saint’s games since he became a passionate soccer fan years ago. But in October of last year, the Yeezy mogul was observed figҺting angrily with a different parent at a Saints game before leaving the field.

Ye is seen talking to someone in the video that TMZ was able to obtain before a parent interrupts him. As he moves off in the direction of another area of the park, the rapper seems to respond.

Only a few weeks had passed when Ye, infuriating his daughter North’s parents, went to her basketball game while sporting a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt.

Saint West, who made headlines in September 2023 for giving the one-finger salute, also carried on his father’s dislike of media attention.

Following the child’s basketball game, media photographers trailed Saint and his mother as they made their way into an Island Burgers location. The child gave the photographers the finger with a smile as they got closer to the couple.

Kardashian was clearly not amused by this action, as she was observed scolding her toddler by putting her palm over his face. Her children are only now beginning to learn how to get past the spotlight, whereas she has been in it for years, haggling with the photographers.
