Beyonce Reveals Why Blue Ivy & North West Can’t Be Friends

It looks like the rivalry between Beyonce and Kim Kardashian runs much deeper than we thought because according to several sources Beyonce has actually banned Blue Ivy from ever talking or even associating with Kim Kardashian’s daughter North. Considering that Blue and North’s dad run in the same circles and were even best friends – fans thought that Blue and North would be built best friends – however, we hate to say this, but like there has always been a silent competition between Blue and North even though they are literally kids. And many believe it’s because Beyonce thinks that Blue is way above North and has a different standard.

Blue Ivy Carter and North West are two of the world’s most famous children. Seeing as their parents are some of the wealthiest, most influential celebrities alive, it was basically inevitable that both would grow up in the public eye.

However, Carter and West’s parents have taken slightly different approaches to managing their children’s images. People online adored Blue Ivy’s Renaissance performance, but accuse Kim Kardashian of exploiting North West whenever she makes public appearances — so what’s the difference?

Why is Kim Kardashian accused of exploiting North West while Beyoncé’s praised for letting Blue Ivy perform?

The two appear to have different approaches when it comes to how much the public sees of them. Not only that but the environments surrounding the two are separated into different industries.

During Beyoncé’s ongoing Renaissance Tour, her 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy joined her onstage multiple times to dance in front of hundreds of thousands of audience members. Fans loved her confident, striking stage presence, and it seemed like Blue genuinely enjoyed performing with her mother — she did an amazing job.

But, she wasn’t immune from naysayers. Some users online criticized her dancing and commented on her body. Though they were in the minority, there’s no denying the inherent lack of protection that comes with putting your preteen child on display for the world to see.

That being said, besides these recent appearances, Blue usually stays out of the spotlight. The 11-year-old has no social media presence beyond the occasional appearance on a family member’s account. Beyoncé likes to keep her personal life private, and that includes her children.

In contrast, Kim Kardashian gets slated for her daughter North West’s public childhood.

There are countless videos of North West online, including posts from social media accounts that the 9-year-old runs in collaboration with her mother.

In many of her public appearances, North has expressed discomfort with the paparazzi hounding her. At the 2022 Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show, North even held up a sign saying “Stop” to photographers.

In both North and Blue’s cases, neither child could have conceivably had much of a normal childhood. Being constantly hounded by paparazzi and facing scrutiny from strangers online would have an effect on any child’s psyche.

However, Blue’s public appearances have largely been met with praise, while Kim has been criticized for North’s.
