Kim Kardashian is coming under fire as many fans are urging the reality star, 43, to allow her daughter, North West to experience a typical childhood. This comes after Kardashian permitted her 11-year-old to celebrate her birthday alongside 22-year-old social media sensation, Kai Cenat last week.

Kardashian’s eldest daughter made an appearance in photos posted by well-known Twitch streamer Cenat on his Instagram Story. These images quickly found their way to a Kardashian-centric Reddit page, sparking a flurry of opinions from both admirers and detractors.

Kim Kardashian Criticized For Permitting North West To Celebrate Her 11th Birthday With A 'Grown Man' Twitch Streamer

According to a post on a Cenat fan page, it seems North (whom she shares with ex Kanye 'Ye' West) was particularly enthusiastic about meeting Cenat for her birthday celebration.

The two teamed up for a collaborative painting video. Regardless of whether this encounter was the child's own wish, fans expressed criticism, speculating that Kardashian and her family might be propelling her into the limelight, as noted by The U.S. Sun.

According to the outlet, one user wrote on Reddit after seeing the aforementioned photos: "They're really pushing to make her a child star. She will benefit from her last name regardless. Why not let her be a normal kid and then when she's 18 she can do all of these things? So sad."

Someone else replied: "Agreed. Kim and Kanye [West] have an obligation to protect North and it consistently seems like they're doing the opposite. She has no hope for a normal childhood at this point." One other noted: "[I don't care] if he's famous, an 11 year old girl has no business hanging out with a grown man that isn't related to her. How is that appropriate?!"
