Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's darling daughter, North West, has already stolen the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week, Accor Arena, and now, the iconic Hollywood Bowl, all at the tender age of 10. She graced the stage of this world-renowned outdoor theater for The Lion King's 30th Anniversary concert on May 24, but her performance, unfortunately, garnered attention for all the wrong reasons.
Amidst the swirling whirlwind of viral videos circulating online, with people expressing their disappointment and dissatisfaction with her performance, Kim took a moment to share a stunning photoshoot gallery, capturing North in full character. However, Kim's post was quickly inundated with a flood of negative comments.
"DADS EGO WITH MOMS TALENT," read one comment, mocking the apparent nepotism that landed North the role. Another opined, "Someone actually talented for the song should've gotten the role." While a third commented, "Close enough... That was the worst Lion King performance we've ever seen, just put her in acting/dance classes." And yet another bluntly stated, "she was off-key the whole time and pretty much just screaming at one point."
In the concert, North embodied Simba, singing and dancing to the beloved tune "I Just Can't Wait To Be King." Footage of her performance quickly spread across social media, and given the esteemed nature of the show, which demands exceptional singing and dancing abilities from any performer - regardless of age - many felt outraged that she had been chosen for the role, attributing it solely to her privileged background as a "nepo baby."
