Kim Kardashian Criticized for Allegedly Trying to Steal North’s Spotlight: ‘You really can’t let anyone have their moment’

On Tuesday, Kim Kardashian faced criticism from her followers, who said she was attempting to overshadow her daughter North West’s recent performance in a live production of The Lion King.

The uproar began when the 43-year-old reality TV star shared multiple pictures of herself wearing an oversized trapper hat and a furry yellow coat, which were exact replicas of her 10-year-old daughter’s outfit during her May Hollywood Bowl performance as Simba. 

Kim, who is married to Kanye West’s former wife, North, was chosen to participate in a live musical performance of The Lion King, which was matched to the renowned Disney animated picture. Some of the original Lion King performers, including Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella, performed alongside her as a baby Simba.

Kim, who had posted a video of herself and her younger daughter Chicago singing along with North at the concert, came under fire from some of her followers after North posed for a picture in the same way as one showing her daughter’s outfit.
