Kim Kardashian is ‘putting pressure’ on daughter North West, 9, to become ‘famous’ as preteen goes viral on TikTok
KIM Kardashian has reportedly "put pressure" on her daughter North to claim the spotlight, and she doesn't appear to be backing down anytime soon.
Despite being only nine years old, North - whom Kim shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West - already has a promising career ahead, all thanks to her famous mom.
"North is Kim’s first born. She’s always had hopes for her, but the pressure she puts on her, which may be unintentional, is real,” the insider revealed.
“Kim really thinks she’s helping her daughter.”
The beauty mogul has been photographed with her eldest child a lot lately, as the preteen regularly tags along to fashion events and even accompanied her mother to the Met Gala earlier this month.
However, Kim's own lust for fame appears to have rubbed off on North, who also has big dreams of reaching celebrity stardom.
"North wants to be a big star, she says she wants to be bigger and more famous than her mom and dad. That’s an enormous amount of pressure to put on a little kid,” the source said.
Their shared ambition seems to motivate Kim even more to advance her daughter's career, and she's well on her way.
"If Kim had her way, North would already have her own reality show, clothing line and an established brand,” the insider continued.
"She's not that far off though, it’s all part of the master plan. It’s all about being in the spotlight and staying relevant. That’s the Kardashian rule book – fame is the name of the game,”
Kim might be mimicking the work ethic of her momager, Kris Jenner, 67, who helped catapult her children to fame and fortune.
In addition to Kim, Kris manages her other daughters: Kourtney, 44; Khloe, 38; Kendall, 26; and Kylie, 25, who each have numerous successful business ventures and bustling modeling careers.
TIKTOK FAMOUS
But while the famous family's former reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, put them on the map, Kim appears to be turning to another platform to propel her daughter's career - TikTok.
North has a joint TikTok account with her mother to adhere to the app's guidelines, which sets the minimum user age to 13.
In one of their most recent videos, the mother-daughter pair dancing to the song Go by Kanii and 9Lives inside Kim's multi-million dollar mansion.
Another clip showed them dancing to the song Money, Money, Money by ABBA while giving a tour of their home's massive kitchen.
DAD DISAPPROVES
North's dad, Kanye, 45, previously slammed his ex-wife for allowing their young daughter to be on TikTok in a scathing online rant.
He posted a screenshot of North from one of her TikToks and tagged Kim in the shot.
Kanye asked his followers on Instagram in all caps: “Since this is my first divorce I need to know. What I should do about my daughter being put on Tik Tok against my will?”
This was not the first time the rapper expressed his disapproval of North being on the app.
During an interview with Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason Lee, he said: “Security ain’t going to be in between me and my children.
