KIM HITS BACK AT PEOPLE DOUBTING NORTH’S ARTWORK
‘Proud mum’ Kim Kardashian West defended her daughter’s talent from online criticism
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West recently shared a photo of a landscape painting her daughter North had made, calling the seven-year-old a “little artist” in an Instagram story.
However, social media users quickly began questioning whether or not North had actually painted the artwork, which was done in a style similar to the works of late artist Bob Ross, reported People magazine.
“i’m supposed to go but i can’t stop thinking about how north west did not paint this (sic),” wrote one Twitter user, whose message was later shared on Kardashian West’s Instagram, with the username blocked out.
“DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!” the 40-year-old wrote in a lengthy post. “My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting with took several weeks to complete,” she continued, “As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone.”
Married to rapper Kanye West, Kardashian West called out the “grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this”. “How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of
NOT being awesome? Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!” she wrote.
The mother of four — North, Chicago (three), Saint (five) and Psalm (21 months) — also posted a similar landscape painted by her daughter’s friend. “They go to the same art class!!!”she wrote, adding in another post, “Shout out to all the proud moms out there that love to show their baby’s masterpieces.”
She also went on to share drawings that her husband had done when he was young. “Throwback to some of her dad’s artwork that he did when he was a kid,” she captioned a series of sketches.
