Disney has brought the stage from the Producers of Disney’s Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl. Now, Disney celebrates The Lion King: 30th anniversary by bringing a live-to-film concert featuring the Broadway Cast of The Lion King, some of the original voice cast of The Lion King, Elton John, Lebo M., Jennifer Hudson, and last but not least North West, the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are performing the live musical concert at the Hollywood Bowl. However, not everyone was too fond of North West performing for the Hollywood Bowl since North is a nepotism child and hasn't been trained to be a performer like every child who has talent or experience on stage. Here are some reasons or alleged reasons why North got a part of the show.

Parents (Kim and Ye) "allegedly" paid her to perform

Someone exposed the Kardashians for paying the producers behind the Lion King concert special to book North West. A woman on Tiktok claims that her daughter auditioned for The Lion King concert special. Her daughter had Broadway experience and was well-trained for the show. Then, her child and two other children got the callback for the part. That was until North West and Kim entered the room and had no idea if she auditioned. Somehow, the casting and producers of the special event gave the talented kids gave them the "see ya" and gave the performing Simba role to North West. Somehow, she speculates that Kim might have secretly paid the producers to book North the role. After all, Miss Kim Kardashian has money and power to buy her daughter and yet she can't even pay her enough to give her lessons.

Shame on her!

Upstage Blue Ivy?

Now I'm not sure if this is true or not but it is a possibility that they are trying to upstage Blue Ivy Carter. As you know, Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy is cast in Disney's prequel Mufasa portraying the role as Kiara, Simba's and Nala's daughter.

It is unclear if North auditioned for the role or offered. Since North hasn't gotten the role in the film, her being booked for the concert seems like a plan for Kimye or Kris or whoever trying to upstage Blue. After all, Blue is the daughter of Grammy Winning parents and a Grammy Winner herself since she won for her song "Brown Skin Girls" featuring her mother, Saint John, and WizKid.

Also, it could be Kanye just trying to get back at Jay-Z and Beyonce. After all, Kanye and Jay Z aka Jigga aka Hova used to be friends until Ye went bezerk and the two stopped being friends. Also, Kim is in awe of Beyonce like she would do anything to be like her.

I mean I have seen it and we all have seen it!

And, Beyonce isn't a fan of Kim maybe it is because of her infamous sex tape or her reality show. I don't know and who cares! Now I'm not saying Beyonce is a hateful person she doesn't seem that type after all Kim has been seen going to Renaissance concert so I'm not sure if there is any beef with them.

New Episode of "Keeping Up The Kardashian"

Also, it might be a way for a new episode of "The Kardashians" on Hulu. I mean the Kardashians love backlash and controversy it's giving them more popularity and ratings for their show. I bet they will talk about the anniversary special and the whole backlash with North being a part of the concert special. I feel like most of the family would be straight-up defending her. Kim would probably say:

"Northie did amazing job I don't know why everyone even on social media would be so mean to her she did her thing"......

and blah blah. Whatever!

My thoughts on North West

Honestly, I am not for dissing children most definitely celebrities's children should be off-limits and the adults on social media shouldn't be dissing a child keep her out of it. Even if Kim, Kanye, or Kris (obviously Kris or Kim) paid these producers or casting behind the Hollywood concert, then that's borderline wrong because North has no experience in singing on stage. Of course, she did a song for her father's album. That was a one-time thing and yes, she was somewhat performing. Honestly, I heard her track playing at one of her dad's (Ye) shows instead of her "actually" singing on the mic.

Now I'm not going to diss North West that's not what I am going to do as a mother and and as an artist. I am going to be positive on North. She seems like a bright kid however if her parents are pushing her to be in the show biz she has every right to say "no" because it's not right for a child to be pressured to be in the industry after all there are people who are cruel and disturbing in the industry.

In all honesty, North West isn't even ready yet she needs to take some time to work on herself and think if she wants to do this. If she wants to prove to the world that she is meant for show biz, I would recommend her to take lessons from professionals who after all Kim and Ye have money and they should have paid her to get her into classes and practice hard.

What do you think of North West's performance? Is she talented or just a nepo baby? Do you think Kim paid her to get a gig? Do you think North West has what it takes to be an upcoming artist?

    I agree that it could have something to do with Blue Ivy, which just sucks. I hope it doesn’t! That would be pretty mega narcissist of (not shocking) Kim and (even less shocking) of Kanye, but I wouldn’t put it past him. I feel bad for North, she’s just a kid who of course would take up the opportunity if unfairly offered it over others.
