LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian has stirred up debate on the Internet by showcasing a sunset painting allegedly created by her 10-year-old daughter, North.
The 42-year-old reality TV star showcased her daughter's painting - a lovely oceanside scene with a pinkish sunset on her social media.
"North has been working on this sunset landscape painting for a few weeks and it turned out so beautiful. I’m so proud of my baby," the businesswoman wrote on X.
Kim Kardashian mocked by the Internet
The artwork has garnered a mix of praise from some fans and doubts from others, who questioned if the young daughter of Kanye West and the SKIMS founder was indeed the artist behind the masterpiece.
One user wrote on X, "We know you bought that online and are trying to make it seem you got talented kids."
"Is North West a prodigy or is Kim K is a generational liar?" another asked, while a third stated, "Kim this is ugly and we know she did not paint that."
"Babes please don’t lie," another chimed in.
Some others took to Instagram to express their doubts.
"Kim we’re gunna need evidence because not a single person believes you," wrote one, while another sarcastically added, "My toddler got his license today."
A third wrote, "Not gonna fool me Kim," and a fourth suggested, "Can you record her next time doing so or at least a pic where she paints cuz .. u know the hate is biiig."
Another user showed their distrust towards the Kardashians, writing, "I dunno man... I don't wanna underestimate young talent but these Kardashians are liars & frauds."
"Ok so I'm just supposed to allow myself to be lead to believe a 10-year-old painted this… Kim… don't p**s on my leg and tell me it's raining," someone else added.
Observant Instagram users pointed out another a sloppier painting on the ground, speculating that this was North's actual artwork.
One user wrote, "The real one on the left :P"
Someone else commented, "Her real work is on the ground behind this one."
"Compared to the one behind it?" another asked.
Artists defend Kim Kardashian and North West's painting
Meanwhile, artists chimed in on the matter, stating that a 10-year-old could indeed possess the skill to paint such a landscape.
"As someone who paints, this really isn't that hard to believe especially if she put a few weeks into it," one artist stated on Instagram.
Another wrote, "I don't get why people have a hard time believing a child did this. If you start them pretty young, give them teachers who push them for hours, it is very much possible. Kids are smarter than adults when it comes to mastering something."
"I don't get the haters......she's 9 or 10. I was painting like this at that age. I'm sure she has a good art teacher too. It's a beautiful painting!" wrote a third.
