Kim Kardashian has hit back after fans questioned her daughter North’s painting skills.
Earlier this week, the reality star took to her Instagram Stories to share a landscape scene her eldest child had painted, calling her a “little artist”.
Fans began questioning whether the seven-year-old really painted the impressive artwork, with one tweeting: “i’m supposed to go but i can’t stop thinking about how north west did not paint this.”

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Kim slammed claims that her daughter did not paint the piece, writing: “DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!”
The KKW Beauty founder explained: “My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured.”
“North worked incredibly hard on her painting with took several weeks to complete. As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone.”
“I’m seeing op-ed pieces in the media and social media from grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this! How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?!”
“Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!! NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERIOTDDDDDABCDEFGZDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Kim added: “Shout out to all the proud moms out there that love to show their baby’s masterpiece. Painted by – North West.”
The KUWTK star also shared a snap of Kanye West’s drawings from his youth, writing: “Throwback to some of her dads art work that he did when he was a kid.”
Kim and Kanye, who tied the knot in 2014, share four kids – North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 1, but reports claim the couple are heading for divorce.
Earlier this month, an insider told E! News that Kim “is trying to stay strong and move on with her life” and is “still working out the logistics of announcing the divorce.”
The source also noted that their separation is “completely official in her mind.”
A second insider said: “Kanye is also completely done with the marriage and is moving on.”
“He doesn’t care what Kim’s priorities are with holding off on a divorce announcement. He will file before she’s ready if he has to. He wants the divorce just as much as Kim does.”
Fans feared the couple were headed for a divorce last July, when Kanye spoke about almost aborting their daughter North during a presidential campaign rally in South Carolina.
After the rally, Kanye posted a number of shocking statements on Twitter, and he even accused Kim of trying to get him “locked up”.
The rapper also claimed he’s been “trying to get divorced” from Kim ever since she met Meek Mill back in 2018 to discuss prison reform, and he also appeared to slam his mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
Kanye later deleted the tweets, and a few hours later Kim released a statement addressing her husband’s behaviour.
In the statement, the reality star opened up about her husband’s mental health – explaining how “incredibly complicated and painful” it can be to struggle with bipolar disorder.
The mother-of-four also asked the public to show their family “compassion” during such a difficult time.
Days later, the 43-year-old posted a public apology to Kim on Twitter.
The couple then put on a united front by taking their kids on a “make or break” trip to the Dominican Republic.
But since then, their relationship has reportedly deteriorated, and Kanye has been holed up at his ranch in Wyoming – while Kim stays in LA.
