Kim Kardashian is on mama bear alert.

Kardashian, 40, took to social media on Tuesday (February 9) to clear the air and hit back at criticism over North West's scenic oil painting, which saw social media users so impressed that they wondered whether the 7-year-old actually painted it.

"DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!" she kicked off a lengthy clap back. "My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting which took several weeks to complete. As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone."

Kardashian didn’t stop there and went on to call out media outlets for criticizing children over such trivia headlines. "Op-ed pieces in the media and social media from grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this! How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?! Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!!" she continued, adding, "NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERIOTDDDDDABCDEFGZFDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It wasn't just Kardashian who pushed back on the haters, but also the daughter of North's art teacher, who admitted that her mother taught her how to paint something similar when she was 7-years-old. "My mom taught me how to paint this and she taught North how to paint the same one two weeks ago," she declared in a TikTok post. "She’s been an art teacher for 30 years and everyone who comes through her classes goes through this exact same painting when they’re starting out."
