Kim Kardashian<\/a> has confessed she has to hold daughter North West back from chasing fame at just 13 years old.<\/p>\n

The reality TV star, 44, shares four children with ex Kanye \u2018Ye\u2019 West \u2013 Psalm, seven, Chicago, eight, Saint, 10, and North \u2013 but told The Times she worries about her eldest\u2019s fame aspirations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do worry about it. Each kid does what they\u2019re comfortable with,\u201d Kardashian said. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, my little ones come around when I\u2019m filming but they don\u2019t really do storylines.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorth loves it a little bit more than the rest… I hold her back. All she wants to do is forward-facing projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kardashian confessed she\u2019s trying hard to manage North\u2019s desire for the spotlight the \u201cright way\u201d and that she\u2019s mindful not to let the 13-year-old jump at every opportunity that comes her way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one area where she and ex Ye, 49, are aligned.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s] something that her dad and I have better communication about. We make sure that we\u2019re aligned, and that she\u2019s in projects that we both approve,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

North is no stranger to the spotlight, having appeared in her mother\u2019s reality TV shows and social media content since she was a young child.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year she told Dazed she wanted to work a \u201cregular job\u201d<\/a> despite being the child of a billionaire celebrity and a music mogul, but that seems to have changed. <\/p>\n

Now North is forging a celebrity career of her own online and in the music industry.<\/p>\n

Her TikTok page has more than 21 million followers, and her Instagram account has 2.6 million followers. Both are managed by her parents.<\/p>\n

The 13-year-old also performed her first solo concert<\/a> in Chicago, US, last month, where she performed music from her N0rth4evr debut EP.<\/p>\n

Her divorced parents reunited to cheer her on… from balconies on opposite sides of the venue.<\/p>\n

North has also appeared at her dad\u2019s concerts, as well as fashion shows and other A-list events with her mum.<\/p>\n

Though she\u2019s clearly loving the limelight, some fans have voiced concerns about her being exposed to the media spotlight at such a young age.<\/p>\n

Critics have also lashed Kardashian and Ye for allowing the 13-year-old to undergo body modifications like piercings, wear black grillz, and embrace an alternative style<\/a> so young.<\/p>\n

North also had a headline tour with rapper Molly Santana scheduled for later this year, but it has since been cancelled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Kardashian has confessed she has to hold daughter North West back from chasing fame at just 13…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":916560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-916559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=916559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/916560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=916559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=916559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=916559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
