The price of being a Nepo baby
It was worse than we thought. North West and her money hungry mom.
People have said their thoughts on North West’s debut performance in the iconic The Lion King musical performed at the Hollywood Bowl. Everything from, questioning the validity of her aquiring the role to Kim Kardashian is a hungry leech ( I don’t disagree), this has been a trending topic again sparking the controversies with Nepo Babies.
Personally, I think that the LEAST a nepo baby should do is be good at whatever talent they are trying to make a career. Whether its modeling, singing, being an actor or actoress, you (nepo babies) have ALL the resources so you SHOULD be good at whatever you choose.
Any one who defends this performance, you need a reality check. Yes, North is a child, and it is not entirely her fault. Her parents on the other hand… They aren’t necessarily the best people nor do they care about anyone “lower status” than them.
I can’t help but blame Kim for setting her daughter up. Kim has been in the spotlight for decades, and yet didn’t get North lessons? This are more than attainable for her. There is an episode of The Kardashians where they are making Christmas songs in a music studio just because they can. You would think someone who is constantly in the public eye would want the best for their own daughter.
Kim knew that this would get attention, and I am sure she goes by the motto “any press is good press”. With their ratings going down and their side “businesses” flopping in sales, people are getting sick of this wealthy family. I just can’t help feel sick thinking that someone’s own mother would put their CHILD in a position of scrutiny and quite frankly being mocked.
The singing, lack of acting, and the “costume” choice just screams “my parents got me here”. The fact that North refused to even wear the traditional costume designs for one of the most famous musicals there is, just says everything we need to know about this families mentality.
Some internet slueths have pieced together that the musical is obviously Disney, which is runs Hulu, which is the very streaming service The Kardashians are on.
People also mention how roles have been lost due to North’s chosen performance. This role which could have been earned instead of bought by kids who train and rehearse for hours. Many of which don’t have the upperhand like North does. If you go on tik tok you can see some real audition tapes of kids who were trying out for the role but were simply passed because of North, who her parents are and of course money.
The casting directors and producers should be looked at because anyone who is evena novice in the musical world can tell you this is pure nepotism. They aren’t event trying to hide it. Many believe that this is just a “plot” for their upcoming season for their T.V. show, others believe this is a distraction from all the P- diddy controversy that has shown the Kardashians are in some ways involved.
Whatever the reason, my heart goes out to the kids who have practiced and tried their best just for an opportunity to be taken from them based on money and status instead of talent.
