Kim Kardashian made a surprise entrance into her daughter North West’s Instagram Live on January 26, sparking a playful exchange that ended with Kim reflecting on the criticism she has received about her parenting style.
Instagram Live Surprise
On Monday, North began her live stream with a familiar line: “Guys, I think my mom’s coming.” The 45-year-old could be heard entering the frame, prompting North to ask, “Why are you watching my Live?” Kim replied off-screen, “I don’t want to be on camera,” while laughing. The clip went viral, with North announcing to her two-million-follower audience, “Guys, the G.O.A.T. is here.”
Kim’s response was light-hearted: “Hey you guys … I hope someone recorded that. She called me the G.O.A.T. I don’t know if I’ll ever get that again … Just kidding, I love you Bubs.” North, sporting blue hair, answered, “I love you, too. You should just show your face because…”
Family Interaction
Kim continued the banter, asking, “How long are you going to do this for? Because I have to stay in the room.” North encouraged her mother to stay on camera so she could “make some money.” Kim’s retort was a mix of humor and reluctance: “What? No, no, no. You know I don’t like this.” She added, “I’ll just pop in every once in a while.”
The conversation ended with Kim admitting she was ready for bed: “I’m ready for bed, so I’m not getting on this Live.” The exchange underscored the casual, affectionate dynamic that defines their relationship.
Parenting Style and Criticism
During the latest episode of Khloé in Wonder Land, Kim addressed the backlash surrounding North’s fashion choices, fake piercings, tattoos, and dermal piercing. She said, “I’m just not a judgmental person like that, so I try not to pay attention to it. But, I think that no one knows unless they’re in my shoes what I’m dealing with and how we have to manage certain things from the outside world or even close in our life that we have to go through together.”
Kim also clarified a common misconception: “I think like the one misconception that people might have is like, ‘Oh, she’s trying to be her bestie and lets her get away with a lot.’ Like, no, Northy actually has a lot of rules. That’s the one area I do let her express herself,” she explained. “I love her for that, and she would do it, you know, regardless.”
