Fans have harshly criticized a new song featuring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s children, North and Chicago, describing it as “terrible” and “cringeworthy.” The track, which has been met with widespread backlash, features the Kardashian-West daughters alongside their famous parents.
North, 10, and Chicago, 6, who have previously garnered attention for their musical endeavors, are now being scrutinized for their latest project. Critics have taken to social media to express disappointment, with many questioning the involvement of the celebrity parents in what some consider an unpolished or ill-conceived release.
While some fans have defended the children’s artistic expressions, the general consensus appears to be one of criticism, with accusations of nepotism and a lack of genuine talent overshadowing the musical endeavor.
The music video, set in a post-apocalyptic desert backdrop, features appearances from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s children, North West, 11, and Chicago, 6. The song is credited to Kanye West’s ¥$ duo with Ty Dolla Sign and was originally released on their album Vultures 2, which dropped in August.
The album, however, was met with widespread criticism and was largely panned by critics. Fans have since expressed their disappointment in the song, with many labeling it “terrible” and criticizing the inclusion of the West-Kardashian children, accusing the project of being driven more by celebrity status than by genuine musical talent.
Fans quickly aligned with critics after viewing Kanye West’s new video for “Bomb,” with many expressing their disapproval, especially after Kim Kardashian promoted the video on her Instagram. In the clip, North and Chicago are seen driving Mad Max–style vehicles while being pursued by exaggerated, cartoonish monsters.
However, it remains unclear if the children were physically present during filming, as several fans pointed out that the video seems to be AI-generated. Despite this, many commenters who criticized the children’s involvement in the video did not seem to recognize this distinction, focusing their backlash on what they assumed were real-life appearances. The combination of AI animation and the children’s celebrity status led to further skepticism, with fans questioning the authenticity and quality of the project.
The music video for Kanye West’s “Bomb” has sparked significant backlash on social media, particularly after Kim Kardashian promoted it on her Instagram. Fans were quick to criticize the inclusion of their daughters, North and Chicago, in the bizarre video, with some questioning the appropriateness of featuring them in such a project. While Kanye himself is only featured in the song, he doesn’t appear in the video.
Many commenters voiced their distaste for both the video and the song. One person wrote, “Just because you have money doesn’t mean your kids have any talent,” though it wasn’t clear if they were referring to North and Chicago’s rapping or acting. Another quipped, “This is the Kardashian equivalent of putting your kid’s artwork on the fridge,” suggesting that the video may have been a vanity project for the parents. Some even compared it to “nepo babies” performing in their living rooms, but with a wider audience of followers watching instead of family members.
The surreal, nightmarish visuals also didn’t sit well with many viewers. One commenter described the video as “the kind of weird music when you wake up in the middle of the night and forgot to turn off the TV.” Others expressed their frustration with sarcastic comments, such as, “I felt Chicago when she said ‘I like to go to the beach, I like the sun,'” while another fan called the video “the dumbest thing.”
Despite these critical comments, one fan noted, “Kim is officially Kris Jenner 2.0,” implying that Kim has fully embraced her mother’s managerial role in promoting her children’s public appearances and ventures, though Kanye remains the more likely creative force behind the music video.The music video for Kanye West’s “Bomb,” featuring his daughters North and Chicago, has been met with widespread criticism, particularly regarding its use of AI-generated visuals. Fans were quick to point out the strange, plasticky appearance of the girls, with their faces appearing overly smooth and shifting slightly at different angles. Some viewers even noted that the AI-generated imagery was evident in scenes where North’s face subtly morphed, and a nonsensical alphabet appeared in the background, a hallmark of such technology.
In the video, North and Chicago are chased by comical-looking monsters, some resembling stop-motion animation characters, while others appear to be actors in costumes. The creatures zoom through a variety of surreal landscapes, from deserts to snow-covered mountains. The bizarre visuals have been criticized for being unsettling and out of place, adding to the negative reception of both the song and its accompanying video.
Both North and Chicago contributed short rap verses to the track, with North rapping in rudimentary Japanese and Chicago mentioning her love for “having fun” and “going to the beach.” Despite their involvement, many fans were unimpressed, with some commenting on how the video felt like a vanity project for Kim and Kanye. One fan wrote, “I love y’all but this song is terrible,” while another joked, “Kim said ‘Let’s all get to work.'”
The overall response suggests that while the West-Kardashian family may be attempting to showcase their children’s talents, the execution has left many feeling perplexed and critical of both the song’s quality and the odd nature of the video.
