Kim Kardashian gives scathing two-word response to critics who slammed North West over surprise career move

Kim Kardashian gave an explicit message to North West's 'haters', after concerns she 'knew what was coming' following her daughter's 'very confident' performance.

In the most recent episode of The Kardashians, cameras followed the family to North West's Hollywood Bowl performance of 'I Just Can't Wait to Be King' from The Lion King.

The concert was celebrating the Disney classic, but North's performance drew a mixed reaction on social media.

During the episode, it was made clear that Kim had reservations about letting her daughter take the gig.

Her sister Khloe Kardashian also expressed the importance of 'setting her up for success because the world is just mean'.

Speaking on the show, Kim said: "North is very comfortable performing, but she's not a singer, she raps.

"She's been on stage with her dad, for sure, but as a mom, especially putting her child on a platform for a lot of opinions, it's something to really, really, really think about."

Talking to her ex-husband Kanye West, also North's dad, he said the opportunity 'sounds cool'.

But the star was still not sure whether to let her 11-year-old go ahead with the gig.

She made the decision to seek out some advice from her own mum, Kris Jenner, who is also her manager.

During the episode, Kris said: "You take it one day at a time and before you know it, you can't believe how time flies by."

Leading up to the show, it seemed as though North was free of nerves, despite Kim reminding her of the 'big responsibility'.

But having been in the online space for some time, the mum-of-four knew that the performance could attract haters.

"I already know what's coming, that she's not Whitney Houston," she said.

"Duh. Oh, she got the job because of her parents.

"North is the moment. They want to see North West on a TikTok, on a this, on an anything, because she's a personality, a performer."

She gave trolls an explicit message, adding: "If anyone wants to hate on a child that is having the time of their lives, f**k you."

Before heading out on the big stage, North said she felt 'good' about the performance, but was 'praying every second'.

Reflecting on the experience, Kim said: "It's such a proud moment as a mom to see your child have so much fun and not be nervous at all.

"She killed it. I literally cried the whole time but she did it."
