Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are getting backlash for new pictures of their family that some view as insensitive to the current situation. It all started with the couple celebrating their oldest daughter North West’s birthday.
Kim uploaded candids of her and North at the family’s ranch in Wyoming. The photos showed North holding her mom’s hand while riding on a horse. Kim and Kanye’s daughter was also pictured while walking with her cousins who came out to Wyoming to celebrate her seventh birthday.
Some thought the candids were a breath of fresh air given the current state of the world. Others, however, classified Kim Kardashian sharing pictures from her daughter’s birthday celebration in Wyoming as tone-deaf.
“Kim Kardashian really looked at everything that’s going on right now and said, ‘D*mn that sucks…..anyway this is our $30K horse and guess what? We have 14 more also this is our ranch which includes a go-kart track.’ BILLIONAIRE TINGZ,” one critic shared.

Another online critic took direct issue with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West gifting North with a Friesian horse (valued between $25,000 and $30,000). “She’s what 7 or so,” the critic asked. “A little girl should be on a pony that matches her physical size and skill level, and that family could afford the priciest little hunter pony. Make it make sense.”
