Kim Kardashian is reportedly feeling the weight of managing her daughter North West’s rising career and has turned to her mother, Kris Jenner, for guidance. The 44-year-old SKIMS founder has taken on the role of momager as North, 11, works on her first album and continues to make public appearances. However, sources say the responsibility is proving to be more demanding than she anticipated.
Kim Kardashian Feels the Pressure of Managing North’s Career
Despite appearing composed in public, Kim has privately admitted to struggling with the demands of overseeing North’s budding music career. A source revealed that the reality star has confided in Kris Jenner, 69, seeking advice on how to juggle it all.
“Being a momager is an exhausting job, and Kris feels like no one in the family truly appreciated how much work she put into building their careers. Now that Kim is experiencing it firsthand, Kris is enjoying watching her daughter realize just how much effort it takes,” the insider shared.
North recently made headlines with her performance of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” at the Hollywood Bowl, which was featured on The Kardashians. While some have accused Kim of using her influence to secure the opportunity for her daughter, the reality star remains unbothered, insisting that North is a natural performer.
Kris Jenner Steps In as Kanye West Maintains Influence
Kim, already balancing multiple business ventures, is reportedly finding it difficult to make time for North’s career. Complicating matters is Kanye West’s involvement, as he continues to have a say in their daughter’s musical journey.
Adding to the challenge, North’s upcoming album, Elementary School Dropout—a nod to Kanye’s College Dropout—has further intensified Kim’s responsibilities. West, 47, recently shared that North’s passion for music inspired him to return to producing beats, stating that working with her rekindled his love for music.
Meanwhile, Kim has openly addressed criticism about North’s opportunities, dismissing claims that nepotism played a role in her daughter’s success. She emphasized that North is a charismatic performer who captivates audiences, and anyone criticizing a child’s happiness is simply a “hater.”
North West’s Career Gains Momentum
While a release date for North’s debut album has not yet been confirmed, excitement continues to build around her career. Paparazzi recently spotted the young star in the studio, collaborating with her father on new music.
Kim’s journey as North’s manager is proving to be a learning experience, and with Kris Jenner’s expertise, she hopes to navigate the entertainment industry more effectively. Whether she can balance motherhood, business, and managing North’s career remains to be seen.
