PODCAST – This new episode Scandals reflects on Kim Kardashian and North West’s daughter and her childhood in the spotlight. A marketing tool like any other for its parents.
It all started in 2012, when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West announced that they were in a relationship. Today, the news seems to be obvious, unchanging, almost fatal. The queen of reality TV and the most megalomaniac rapper of her generation are together like a holy union. Just eight months after the formalization of their relationship, Kim Kardashian becomes pregnant. North West was born on June 15, 2013 in Los Angeles. And the tabloids are already revealing the details of the mother’s difficult birth. In the following years, media attention to the girl’s life only increased.
The spotlight shone on his father, a rap genius, and his mother, the grandfather of reality TV, shone the spotlight on him. Since then, North West has never been overshadowed. We’ve seen her open her eyes in Hermès slippers, celebrate her first birthday on a raft in her garden, and carry her first Birkin bag at age 6. Over time, he has undoubtedly become the most exposed child of social networks. A blessing or a burden? From her 9-year high, North West embodies the succession of America’s Most Unlikely Family, Whatever.
In this mini-series dedicated to the children of the stars, journalist Sara Dahan asks: How does the child feel about the fact that the center of attention is constantly developing? What makes North West stand out from other famous kids like Suri Cruise or Shiloh Jolie-Pitt? Is he a marketing tool like any other for his parents? Or better. Is he the future of his clan’s booming business? To answer these questions, Sarah Dahan revisited the heiress’s childhood like no other. Follow each other at his microphone.
