KIM Kardashian has come under fire from critics for her treatment of her oldest child.
North West, 10, made a splash with the release of a cover and interview for i-D Magazine, but her fans think that her parents have pushed her into the spotlight too soon.

North is co-parented by Kim, 43, and Kanye West, 46, and has inherited plenty of fame from their respective careers in reality TV and music.
The young girl’s new interview was titled: “This is North’s world, we all just live in it.”
When news of the piece broke, fans of the Kardashian-Jenners quickly assembled on Reddit to debate North’s biggest media job yet, and many thought that it was unsuitable for a child of her age.
One person said: “This is so weird and an absolutely shame for ID mag. A 10-year-old has no business giving interviews and being talked about like that.”
Another agreed: “It’s so weird. I’m so uncomfortable. Why won’t her parents shelter her and let her be a kid?”
A third critic of the Kardashians asked: “Feels uncomfortable to idolize a child. Why can’t she just be a kid?”
“This is totally inappropriate. Doing something like this for a school report? Fine. Doing something like this for an actual publication? Not cool. Kim has completely turned into Kris by pimping her kids out to the media as early as possible,” slammed another social media user.
Hulu star Kim quickly posted the cover on Instagram, where one fan blasted: “Well on her way to being the next exploited kid in that family.”
NORTH’S EMPIRE
In the controversial piece, i-D asked: “What do you want to be when you’re older?”
North replied: “A basketball player, a rapper, um… Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer.
“I’m going to do art on the side. When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive.
“So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell.”
North added: “Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and Skims, and I want to be a business owner.”
The preteen was also asked: “What three words would you use to describe yourself?”
North replied: “Umm… The Best Ever.”
TOO MUCH TOO SOON?
Alongside North, Kim shares Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four, with ex-husband Kanye.
Late last month, a fan took to Reddit with a screenshot of Kim’s Instagram feed from her recent Tokyo trip, and Kardashian critics noted how frequently North appeared in the posts, while the other kids remained absent.
Starting the discussion, the user wrote: “Does she not have other kids?”
In response, another follower suggested: “She only acknowledges the kid who gives her money. Right now, only North. It is exactly how her mother did, so why expect any different?
“Sadly, that means she will prompt her kids to fight for her love and will discard the ones who don’t align with the brand.”
