Fans Support Saint West Giving Paparazzi The Finger: 'I Like This Kid, He's Going Places!'

Kim Kardashian's son Saint is making headlines again, but it is not for his fashion sense or artistic talents this time. The little boy recently took a stand against paparazzi intrusion while out with his famous mother. His actions caused fans to quickly rally in support of his courage.   

Growing up in the spotlight has good days, but the pressure of the paparazzi sometimes is too much to handle, even for older celebrities, not to talk of their children. In this case, the reality TV star's 7-year-old got in trouble on Friday after his basketball game in Los Angeles. 

Per Page Six, Kardashian went into mom mode when she firmly corrected Saint for an impolite hand gesture. While in the parking lot of an Islands restaurant, the young boy giggled after raising his middle finger towards the paparazzi. This prompted a gentle reprimand from his mom, who briefly shielded his face with her hand.

Unexpectedly, rather than reprimand, fans came in support of Saint on X (formerly Twitter), like this user who wrote, "Lil Saint West gave paparazzi the finger." They also pointed out that the growing youngster and his older sister North "do not mess with them people" and advised their parents "to do better with keeping them out the limelight." 

A second even empathized with him, stating, "If I had this life since the day I was born, I would react like this too tbh," while another noted that "being followed by papparazi all ur childhood has to be actual hell and so traumatic."

A fourth alluded that Kardashian was the one calling them and she needed to stop because "her children are constantly showing her that they hate it." This cybernaut, who found his action funny, also agreed with the prior statement, describing it as sad that the adults "supposed to be protecting & shielding him from the paparazzi are the ones calling them in the first place." 

A sixth supporter and evident fan of Saint's father, Kanye West, excitedly gushed, "We accept him for this action! He is for sure his daddy SON !!" At the same time, a seventh concurred and pleaded with his mother, "@KimKardashian please don't blame him. These paps deserve It." Meanwhile, this netizen simply wrote, "i like this kid. he's going places." 

The "KUWTK" alum's eldest son is not her first child to kick against the paps and their incessant presence. Last year, Kardashian's 10-year-old grew weary of constant cameras in her face.

After attending the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2022/Winter 2023 runway show, the 42-year-old shared a series of images displaying the impeccable fashion choices of the mother-daughter pair. 

While the slides featured the duo striking poses in various locations, the last picture showcased a video from the fashion show. In it, the paparazzi turned their attention to North, who then defiantly raised a handwritten "Stop" sign, clearly expressing her discontent.

The KKW Beauty founder humorously explained in the caption, "For anyone who knows North knows how funny she finds the last slide! North I guess had it with the people taking pictures of her so she wrote on her invite." 

The doting mother explained that her daughter preferred the focus to be on the fashion show rather than herself. 

One thing the TV personality knows how to do is stir up conversations, even with her children. In June, she did so again after posting a photo of her baby boy adorned with heavy jewelry on her Instagram story. 

Dressed in a striking brown and black striped outfit, his upper incisors were adorned with attention-grabbing gold gems fashioned in the iconic Louis Vuitton logo. 

A wide grin showcased these unique dental accessories, and adding to his stylish ensemble, the youngster sported a conspicuous necklace featuring his name spelled out in dazzling diamonds.

Although she refused to provide additional context, Kardashian showcased more bling from his seventh birthday celebration. She organized a Los Angeles Rams-themed gathering for him and his pals.

The images depicted Saint and his friends sporting L.A. Rams jerseys and bold necklaces, enjoying a Rams football game from their seats in the stands. In the caption, she emotionally penned:

"Happy 7th birthday to my baby boy, I love you so so so much! I love seeing you grow into the kindest soul ever. Mommy loves you forever and ever!"
