Kris Jenner has sparked outrage among fans after she used her granddaughter North West’s birthday post to praise her performance in The Lion King.

The reality TV matriarch took to Instagram to celebrate North’s 11th birthday with a heartfelt post. However, the content of the post didn’t sit well with some fans.

During her loving tribute to her granddaughter, Kris said: “I’m so proud of your Lion King performance at the Hollywood Bowl.” This comment didn’t go down well with fans, with many accusing her of shamelessly plugging the performance.

One fan commented under the post: “She just had to mention the Lion King performance.”

Another added: “Well, Kris just reminded us how horrible the Lion King’s performance was.”

This comes after Kim Kardashian faced backlash from fans following a video alleging that she used her influence to secure North’s role in The Lion King.

Kim was criticized after a TikTok user claimed that her own daughter was overlooked for the part despite being perfect for it and accused Kim of “paying” to get North the role.

The controversial video was shared on social media and led to a wave of comments criticizing Kim. One user wrote: “This family has never been told ‘no’ and it’s sad.”

Another slammed on Reddit: “Pimp mama Kim. How gross and entitled the KarJenners are…its disgusting..”

North West, daughter of Kanye West, received a standing ovation after her stage debut in a production of The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl last May.

The event was a live-to-film concert and North seized every opportunity to demonstrate her stage presence. The concert also featured Jennifer Hudson, Jeremy Irons, Billy Eichner and Nathan Lane.

Kanye, dressed in a white hoodie, and Kris Jenner, in an ankle-length animal print coat, were there to support North on her big night.

Kim Kardashian shared backstage photos on social media, including a picture of her and North’s all-access passes and character-inspired cupcakes. She also thanked her mother Kris and grandmother Mary Jo Campbell for sending a beautiful orange flower arrangement.

North played young Simba in the 30th anniversary concert celebrating the Disney classic. Her proud parents, grandmother Kris Jenner, and aunt Kourtney Kardashian with husband Travis Barker were all there to watch the show.
