Kim Kardashian shrugs off Lion King drama to proudly pose with ‘nepo baby’ North and her lookalike daughter Chicago in lavish home
Kim Kardashian proudly posed with daughters North West and Chicago in new Instagram snaps uploaded on Sunday as she continues to shrug off the recent Lion King drama.
The SKIMS founder, 43 – who flaunted her sculpted figure during a wardrobe fitting – could be seen posing at her lavish, $60 million Hidden Hills mansion with North, 10, and Chicago, six.
She was also joined by mother, Kris Jenner, for the carousel of photos – which were simply captioned as ‘my girls.’
The post comes shortly after her eldest daughter, North, was caught up in a ‘nepo baby‘ controversy following her performance as Young Simba in The Lion King.
In one image, Kim donned a short-sleeved, white dress that clung to her frame and fell down towards the ground.

The American Horror Story: Delicate star also opted for a chunky, silver-chained necklace as well as matching earrings to accessorize the look.
Her dark locks were pulled back and styled into a sleek up do, preventing any loose strands from falling onto her face.
North and Chicago sat on either side of the TV personality as they posed on a comfy couch placed on a spacious, outdoor patio.
A larger sofa could be seen farther in the distance while flames offered an orange glow in a fireplace.
North – who will celebrate her 11th birthday later this month on June 15 – matched her mother in a stylish, all-white outfit while Chicago opted for a denim look.
In another picture, Kris Jenner stepped in and flashed a cheerful smile with her daughter and grandchildren while sporting a dark brown ensemble as well as laced boots.
The Kardashians star additionally wore a brown button up as well as a silver necklace and rhinestone earrings for a finishing touch.
Lastly, Kim paused for a snap with her youngest daughter as she prepared to give the six-year-old a gentle kiss.

The media personality shares North, Chicago, as well as sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five, with ex-husband Kanye West.
Kim’s Instagram carousel comes shortly after North received criticism by trolls for her performance as Young Simba during The Lion King’s 30th Anniversary concert late last month in May.
The eldest child of Kim and Kanye – who were also in attendance at the concert – took to the stage at The Hollywood Bowl to perform I Just Can’t Wait To Be King.
After belting out lyrics at the crowded venue, North received a standing ovation from the audience.
However, some social media users on X (formerly known as Twitter) shared their thoughts on Kim and Kanye’s daughter snagging a coveted role in the musical concert.
One noted: ‘Nepotism is literally the best thing to be born with,’ while another added, ‘The worst case of nepo I have witnessed.’
Another penned, ‘Nepotism and the synonym next to it is KARDASHIANS,’ followed by laughing face emojis.
‘Nepotism is so crazy lol,’ one wrote. ‘Someone else’s more talented, probably voice and dance trained kid didn’t get it because his/her family isn’t famous enough.’

North – who donned her own costume – joined other stars on the stage, such as Jennifer Hudson, Billy Eichner, Bradley Gibson, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, Jeremy Irons and also Nathan Lane; seen with Hudson above
One social media user penned, ‘She looks great and it seems like she’s having a lot of fun, but I’m definitely not gonna bypass the fact that we all know she wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t who her parents were. This is classism at its finest!’
Another chimed: ‘Aw man…I feel bad for the kids there that are actually talented who could’ve nailed this.
‘I’m sure her mom’s influence (or money) is the only reason she got this leading/singing role.’
Last month in May, it was announced that North was cast in the live-to-film concert event which ran for two nights on May 24 and May 25. The Hollywood Bowl can notably hold up to 17,500 people and tickets for the concert began at $60.

Kanye West was also in attendance at the concert to support his daughter, as well as Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker.
Kim has since brushed off the criticism by sharing an assortment of behind-the-scenes moments from the big night on social media.
Others later came to North’s defense – with some pointing out her young age, with one typing, ‘North West’s Lion King performance was so cute – she’s a child, like y’all need to calm down.’

Weaver added, ‘You’re a true professional, and I wish you nothing but the best as you continue your journey towards GREATNESS!!’
‘Y’all don’t like Kim, so y’all take it out on North? Why are people posting videos of her Lion King performance talking about how much better it would be it was actually a talented kid??? That’s a baby! Why are y’all being weird?’ another questioned.
One also penned, ‘The world is really so cruel sometimes. North performed for some Hollywood Lion King play, and they are ripping that little girl apart online. She is a child…’
Jason Weaver – who played the role of Young Simba in 1994 – also showed support for North on Instagram while also uploading a photo of the pair.
‘What an honor it is to share the same stage with this young superstar in the making. ‘I’m so PROUD you, North!! You’re doing a such PHENOMENAL job in this show!’
The star added, ‘You’re a true professional, and I wish you nothing but the best as you continue your journey towards GREATNESS!!’
It was later revealed how North landed the coveted role of Young Simba, with a source telling DailyMail.com that Kim’s connection to producers had helped.
‘The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl and The Kardashians are both produced by the same production company, Fulwell 73 Productions.’
‘Gabe Turner, who is a partner in Fulwell, is also the creative showrunner for The Lion King,’ the insider said. ‘This was a shoe in for North and she was told that if she can carry a note the gig is hers.’

Kim has since brushed off The Lion King drama, and earlier this week, shared a series of snaps of North dressed as Simba
‘They were hoping to draw publicity for this, which they did. But North didn’t have to compete against anyone else and anyone else who would have auditioned would have not gotten it anyways.’
The source continued, ‘This is 100 per cent the result of her family’s relationship with Disney and with Fulwell.’
