Beyond the responsibility to book and be present for the girl’s projects, she, of course, has to keep her daughter’s best interests in mind with every offer—after all, “The number one job, being a momager, is always being a mom first.”
Khloé agreed that it was important to “set [North] up for success,” pointing out, “The world is just, like, mean,” as Kim expressed her hesitance. “I don’t know if she can sing Broadway,” she added.
“You know, she raps, and, I mean, she’s been on a stage with her dad, for sure, but, as a mom, especially putting her child on a platform for a lot of opinions, it’s something to really, really, really think about.”
Kim spent time crying in the bathroom during North's first couple of rehearsals, stressing over the "big responsibility for a little kid...up on the stage with these amazing performers and Jennifer Hudson…"
"She just walked out there and was like, ‘I got this,’” Kim gushed about the rehearsal process. “And it was just cute to see.”
"...you know, that she’s not Whitney Houston,” she explained. “Duh. ‘Oh, she got the job ‘cause of her parents,’” she predicted the response, asserting, “North is the moment. They want to see North West on a TikTok, on a this, on an anything, because she’s a personality—a performer."
Kim was "so proud” of her daughter for her dedication and “how prepared [she had] been” with practice and rehearsal—even taking vocal lessons in preparation.
