Kim Kardashian took a page out of North West‘s playbook and dressed up as her daughter’s character in “The Lion King,” while upsetting some of her fans for allegedly trying to steal the spotlight.
On Tuesday, the SKIMS mogul posted a carousel of images to Instagram, showing her posing in a furry tan costume similar to the one worn by North in a recent performance of Disney’s “The Lion King.”
As you know, North played the character Simba onstage at the Hollywood Bowl, making her singing debut as she belted out, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” during the live concert event in May.

Another person asked, “Why can’t she ever let anyone have their moment. Always wants to outdo the original 😩😂.”
A third sarcastically said, “‘Let’s make it about me.'”
Meanwhile, North’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl went viral, touching off a debate on whether she was a “Nepo Baby” who didn’t really deserve the part of Simba and landed it due to nepotism.

TMZ interviewed author Marc Lamont Hill who defended the oldest daughter of Kim K and Kanye West saying even if her singing chops weren’t up to snuff because her celebrity brought a lot of attention to the production, which could carry over to future Disney stage projects.
