Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are reportedly at odds with the Kardashian family over concerns that their daughter Dream could become a "cash cow" for the reality TV empire.
According to Daily Mail Online, the former couple is united in their desire to protect their 7-year-old daughter from the potential negative impacts of fame.
The controversy arose following Dream's recent Instagram debut and her runway appearance at New York Fashion Week. While these events marked significant milestones for the young Kardashian, they have also sparked concerns from her parents about her potential future in the public eye.
Rob Kardashian, 37, is reportedly adamant about preventing Dream from following in the footsteps of his famous sisters and their children. A source close to the situation revealed that Rob has witnessed the effects of fame on his family and is determined to shield Dream from similar experiences.
The insider stated that Rob has been trying to "shelter her from the limelight" and is "very adamant that she not become a cash cow or become money-hungry and self-centered." This stance comes from his firsthand experience with the challenges of growing up in the public eye.
Blac Chyna, now known by her birth name Angela White, is said to be in agreement with her ex-fiancé. Having undergone a personal transformation, she reportedly prefers that Dream not be pushed into becoming a "Kardashian figurehead."
Dream's entry into the public sphere began with the launch of her Instagram account, which gained over 680,000 followers shortly after its first post. The account, managed by her parents, features a video of Dream introducing herself to her newfound audience.
Following this social media debut, Dream made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week, modeling for Zeus And Lexi Kids. She confidently walked the runway in denim jeans and a black and white jacket, showcasing her potential as a future fashion icon.
The source revealed that there are expectations for Dream to play a central role in the Kardashian empire, given that she is the only grandchild with the Kardashian last name. This expectation has led to concerns about her potentially being groomed for stardom from a young age.
Rob's decision to allow Dream to participate in the fashion show was described as hesitant, but he complied due to its importance to his family. However, this experience also reinforced his fears about plans to mold Dream into a "cookie cutter Kardashian clone."
The Kardashian-Jenner family has a history of involving their children in their public brand. Kim Kardashian's daughter North West, now 11, made her catwalk debut at age 5 and has since been involved in various public performances and fashion campaigns.
Other Kardashian offspring, including Saint West, Penelope Disick, and True Thompson, have also had early introductions to public life through social media, commercials, and fashion events. This trend has raised questions about the impact of early fame on these children.
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are opposing plans for their daughter Dream to become a prominent figure in the Kardashian reality TV empire. They fear the negative impacts of early fame and are determined to protect Dream's childhood. Dream's recent Instagram debut and runway appearance have heightened these concerns. The situation highlights the ongoing debate about children's involvement in celebrity culture and the potential consequences of early exposure to public life.
