Kim Kardashian always knew that one day she would be the momager of her daughter, North West. She just didn't realize that it would be so soon.
In the February 20th episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," Kim stressed her concerns regarding her 10-year-old daughter, North West, being invited to sing in The Lion King At The Hollywood Bowl. The opportunity would be a dream come true for any child, especially if it's Disney-branded. While Kim does want to support her children, she, as a mother, has some fears about their endeavors.
What Kim Kardashian said about being North West's momager on The Kardashians
Speaking with Khloé, the SKIMS founder addressed North's possible offer and whether she should allow her to accept it. After all, it's a significant career move, and Kim's not sure if North is ready.
"North got offered to sing a song for The Lion King's 30th Anniversary At The Hollywood Bowl. To sing "I Just Can't Wait To Be King."
Khloé, for her part, added her insight on her niece's offer.
"That's amazing. Is she going to do it, or you don't know?"
"I don't know. I can't decide," Kim answers her sister.
"I just want to make sure you set [North] up for success," Khloé adds. "Because the world is just, like, mean and if she, i don't know if she can sing Broadway."
"That's what I'm worried about," expresses Kim.
In her confessional, Kim further elaborated on her hesitation of North's career and how she'll be able to manage it on both a matriarch and professional level.
"I'm really torn on if I should let her do this or not. North is very comfortable performing, but she's not a singer. You know, she raps and I mean, she's been on the 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."
Continuing on the phone with Khloé, Kim revealed that she spoke with her ex-husband, Kanye, about their daughter performing at the Hollywood Bowl. Just because Kimye is no longer a thing, it doesn't deflect their co-parents and wanting the best for their kids.
"I talked to her dad and he says that it sounds cool."
Back in the confessional, the mom of four highlighted about the momager duty and having a conversation with North.
"We had a family discussion about [North's The Lion King role], and she was 'Please Mom, I Want to do it.' And I was like, 'Do you know it's at the Hollywood Bowl? You've been there, you saw your dad perform there. But this is a full other production."
Khloé further said that North being asked to perform in The Lion King was 'so major.'
Kim then dropped her momager role, which came a lot sooner than she was expecting. Sh still wants the free time to be herself and work, but when there's a child wanting to craft their careers, you pushed things aside to make it happen for them.
"I really wasn't planning on being a momager for, like, another ten years! My child is 10. I still have like, 10 years of work that I want to do. You know, I still want to be me, you know. Little old me, remember me? I still have more to do. Every day that [North] is busy doing something is a day I can't work, because she's not doing anything without me being right there the whole time."
However, Kim is going to do things differently as compared to her own momager, Kris Jenner.
"This momager is not taking 10%."
Later in the episode, the near-entire family, including Auntie Kourtney, all went to watch North perform in her costume at the Hollywood Bowl. Jason Weaver, an OG of The Lion King alum, introduced her on stage
Kim was very proud of her daughter, and admitted that she cried at her performance.
It look like North has a bright future ahead of her!
