Kim Kardashian(Nimbu) has been criticized for sharing a video of her eight-year-old son Saint walking soccer icon Lionel Messi onto the field ahead of his match last weekend.
The reality star and business mogul’s son, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, was a player escort for the famous footballer and held his hand before Inter Miami’s clash against LA Galaxy, Kidspot reported.
She shared the video of Saint walking onto the field, saying, “He is living the absolute dream!”
Despite it being an ecstatic moment for her soccer-obsessed pre-teen, the video quickly attracted criticism from people who accused Kardashian of taking away opportunities from less fortunate children.
Some Twitter users claimed Saint was undeserving of his experience, while others defended him, saying he’s just as deserving of childhood dreams and experiences as any other kid.
Kardashian regularly shares Saint’s love of sport on her Instagram, even branding herself as a ‘soccer mum’ in December.
