Kim Kardashian said that her daughter North West is “not a singer” following the little star’s performance in The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl in May, which sparked internet criticism.
Behind-the-scenes video from the most recent episode of The Kardashians on Hulu showed North getting ready for her role as Simba, in which she sang I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.
Critics accused North of nepotism, claiming that the job should have gone to a trained performer, even though North had only four days to practice and worked with a vocal coach.
Kim said, “She’s not Whitney Houston, duh,” in a confessional, in direct response to the scandal, according to the news. Her parents helped her land the job.
