On social media platform X, North West faced harsh criticism after appearing on Broadway as young Simba in the musical “The Lion King”, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Disney’s animated film. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter was accused of nepotism.

“Kardashian is synonymous with nepotism,” said one of the users. “She looks great and seems to be having a lot of fun, but I will definitely not ignore the fact that we all know she wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for her parents. This is elitism at its best!”, another one chimed in.

Despite the criticism, North West was cheered after her performance singing “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King”, dressed in a young Simba costume. She wore a yellow hoodie and yellow slippers, a simplified version of the original show costume. North received a standing ovation from the audience.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter was announced to participate in two nights of the show. No one commented on auditions for participation.

Kim Kardashian took pictures of her daughter on stage and behind the scenes and shared them on her stories. In one of them, North was smiling alongside the actor who plays the Zazu bird.
