Kim Kardashian Accused Of Using Nephew Mason’s New Instagram Account For Her Own Fame

Mason Disick is officially on Instagram, and many of his family members are celebrating this new milestone, but it’s not sitting well with all fans.

In fact, some critics have accused Mason’s aunt Kim Kardashian of using the 14-year old’s newfound social media presence for her own advantage.

Following years of being camera shy – including refusing to be on his mom’s profile and limited appearance on his family’s reality show – Mason made his debut on Instagram on May 25, sharing his first three posts shortly after joining the platform.

Mason’s inaugural post depicted him standing on a cabin porch, sporting distinctive green parachute pants and a black Off White t-shirt, accessorized with silver rings adorning his fingers. S

ubsequent photos included snapshots of Mason alongside friends and family members, notably his mother Kourtney Kardashian and siblings Penelope and Reign. Each post offered glimpses into the teenager’s life, with minimal commentary provided by Mason himself, signaling a potentially curated approach to his social media presence.

Notably, Kim took to her Instagram Story on Monday to reshare Mason’s profile, urging her followers to give him a follow and expressing her astonishment at his Instagram presence.

“I still can’t believe Mason is on IG,” Kim remarked, adding, “Everyone follow my nephew @masondisick.”

Why Fans Think Kim Is Using Mason For Clout

However, reactions from some corners of the internet were less than enthusiastic, with Reddit users voicing concerns about the exploitation of Mason for promotional purposes. One user commented, “People have been blocking this family and need him to help promote their stuff,” prompting agreement from others in the thread.

Another user noted a significant spike in Mason’s follower count, suggesting, “They bought him followers lol. That’s what the family gifted him for joining Instagram.”

Such sentiments were echoed by several users, condemning what they perceived as a calculated move to leverage the children for publicity. “Now she’s unleashing the children for clout,” remarked one user, with another adding, “It’s sickening what they’ll do for a buck.”

Kim Has Been Accused Of Exploiting Her Own Children

Kim has been accused of using her own children to boost her fame. In August, she faced backlash for sharing a series of photos from a trip she took to Japan with her eldest daughter, North, 10, with some followers accusing her of using her child for financial gain as well as fame.

While documenting her excursion to Tokyo on Instagram, Kim Kardashian’s feed prominently featured her eldest daughter, North, prompting keen-eyed followers to notice the conspicuous absence of her other three children – Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

This observation sparked inquiries into the reasons behind this apparent discrepancy and ignited discussions across various online platforms regarding the potential exploitation of North’s image for financial gain. The discourse extended to Reddit, where one user mirrored the sentiments expressed by many others, questioning, “Doesn’t she have other children?”

The prevailing consensus seemed to revolve around the idea that North was being thrust into the limelight while her siblings were relegated to the sidelines.

Commentary on the matter varied, with one individual suggesting, “North is the oldest girl of Kim’s children, which makes her able to be… profitable now, hence why she posts her so much.” They further speculated, “She is trying to get a head start on marketing North’s ‘brand’ while she is still young…”

Kim hasn’t responded to the recent accusations that she’s using Mason’s Instagram profile for clout.
