In 2021, Kim Kardashian fervently defended her daughter North West’s artistic abilities after skeptics questioned the authenticity of the then 7-year-old’s impressive Bob Ross-style painting. Kim proudly shared a photo of North holding up her artwork, igniting a social media debate.
Swiftly responding to doubters, Kim took to her Instagram story, emphasizing that North and her best friend were enrolled in a serious oil painting class that nurtured their talents. She clarified that North had dedicated weeks of hard work to complete the painting, and as a proud mother, she wanted to showcase her daughter’s achievement.
Kim expressed her disappointment at the media and social media coverage, urging people not to diminish children’s accomplishments. She passionately stated, “Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!!”
Since then, Kim has continued to showcase North’s artwork, praising her as a “really, really good artist” in a Vogue interview last February. This has prompted discussions online, with some wondering if North might be an art prodigy.
Recently, Kim once again shared North’s latest painting—a stunning beach sunset—on Instagram. Predictably, this reignited the debate, with some doubting its authenticity and accusing Kim of manipulation.
While some criticized Kim, others came to her defense, emphasizing that providing financial support and exposure to various experiences can greatly influence a child’s artistic development.
This incident highlights the importance of recognizing and nurturing children’s talents, and the need to support their creative endeavors. It also serves as a reminder that every child deserves the opportunity to express themselves and excel in their own unique way.
