Kim Kardashian is under fire for reviving son Saint’s YouTube account despite posts against Kamala Harris

Kim Kardashian is under fire for reviving son Saint’s YouTube account despite posts against Kamala Harris

Kim Kardashian has been criticized for reactivating her eight-year-old son’s YouTube account exactly one month after deleting the profile.

On Saturday, the mother of four children took to Instagram to plug Saint’s recovered account, sharing a screenshot with his username “@SwFortniteclan” — atypical of the star’s usual posts.

“This is the YouTube of the Saint. Subscribe and subscribe,” she wrote in the caption.

And the account was created on Nov. 6 — a week after Saint’s original account was deleted, according to the channel’s history — and currently has 7,000 views.

Saint shared one 12-second Fortnite gameplay video and two short videos written from Kardashian’s perspective, but fans speculated they were actually written by the youngster.

In late October, the 44-year-old founder of SKIMS was forced to remove her eldest son’s platform after the account shared two posts critical of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The mother of four took to Instagram on Saturday to plug Saint's reinstated account, sharing a screenshot of his username

The mother-of-four took to Instagram on Saturday to plug Saint’s reinstated account, sharing a screenshot with his username “@SwFortniteclan” — a departure from the star’s usual posts.

One Short asks users to “subscribe to my son’s Fortnite YouTube channel,” noting, “He’ll pick the best players for his clan.”

Kardashian’s Instagram post, which plugged her son’s controversial account, received mixed reviews from her 359 million followers.

Some praised rapper Kanye West’s ex-wife for using her platform to help her son, while others speculated whether she was behind the post at all.

One user recalled the eight-year-old’s previous failure on social media, writing: “I’m weak… not again.”

“Kim would never post like this,” wrote another, questioning the authenticity of the post.

Another accused Saint of using his mother’s account, writing: “Put your mom’s phone down!!!!!”

One user pranked a guy by asking him to reveal his model mom’s personal credit card details.

They wrote: “Thanks, what are your mom’s Amex numbers??”

Another comment quipped that Saint used up all his non-kid resources. A “non-child” is a term used to describe someone who has achieved career success thanks to the fame of their parents – derived from the term nepotism.

Other users said Kardashian is “the next Kris Jenner,” comparing the reality star to her self-proclaimed “momager (mom/manager)” mother.

Another joked: “Holy you know the power your mum has with that one scream, your channel is tuned for life.”

Some other users praised the SKKN founder for encouraging her son’s new hobby, calling her “mama bear” for such a sweet gesture.

“Mama bear is really building her son’s future career, good for them,” wrote one.

“Love it. Let your kids create,” chimed in another.

Another account jokingly recreated how Saint might have asked his mother for congratulations, writing: “He said, ‘Hey mom, say my YouTube please.'”

One user added: “Seeing nepotism and its supporters is funny.”

Back in October, the reality star revealed that she made him sign and agree to a contract with special terms if he wanted a channel on the platform.

And the eight-year-old boy appeared to violate the terms of the deal just a week before Election Day by sharing posts mocking Vice President Harris.

One post featured an image of a cartoon character claiming to have “fell in the shit,” with a picture of Vice President Harris on the bottom of his shoe.

According to reports on social media, Saint allegedly posted a meme that depicted a photo of Harris in an inflammatory manner
