Kim Kardashian is not letting the backlash over of her daughter North West 's acting debut during The Lion King's 30th Anniversary concert at The Hollywood Bowl get to her.
Despite receiving a standing ovation from the audience after singing I Just Can't Wait To Be King, the eldest child of Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West was accused of getting the part due to her 'nepo-baby advantage.' A source has since told DailyMail.com that the Kardashian family's close connection to the producers of the event played a large part in North's appearance.
Despite online trolls lashing out at the ten-year-old's casting as Young Simba, the 43-year-old continued to share behind-the-scenes pictures of her little girl in costume from the show The insider added that North's ability to make headlines for her performances was a key factor behind the decision to cast her for the role.
'The promise of the moment being shown on the show and to go and be seen everywhere was also a major selling point for having North a part of the festivities,' the source stated. 'The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl and The Kardashians are both produced by the same production company, Fulwell 73 Productions,' the insider dished
'Nepotism is so crazy lol,' one wrote. 'Someone else's more talented, probably voice and dance trained kid didn't get it because his/her family isn't famous enough.'
