Kim Kardashian is being slammed for reinstating her eight-year-old son’s YouTube account exactly one month after taking down the profile.
On Saturday, the mother-of-four took to Instagram to plug Saint’s reinstated account, sharing a screenshot of his username ‘@SwFortniteclan’ — atypical compared to the star’s regular posts.
‘This is Saint’s YouTube. Follow and Subscribe,’ she penned in the caption.
And the account was created on November 6 — a week after Saint’s initial account as deleted, according to the channel’s history and currently boasts 7k views.
Saint has shared one 12-second video of Fortnite gameplay and two Shorts written from Kardashian’s point of view, but fans speculate they were actually penned by the youngster.
Back in late October, the SKIMS founder, 44, was forced to remove her eldest son’s platform after two posts critical of Vice President Kamala Harris were shared on the account.

One Short asks users to ‘Please subscribe to my sons Fortnite channel on YouTube,’ noting, ‘He will pick the best players to be in his clan.’
Kardashian’s Instagram post plugging her son’s controversial account received mixed reviews from her 359M followers.
Some praised the ex-wife of rapper Kanye West for using her platform to help her son, while others speculated whether or not she was even behind the post.
One user referenced the eight-year-old’s previous social media fail, writing, ‘i’m weak… not again.’
‘Kim would never post like this,’ another penned, questioning the post’s authenticity.
Another accused Saint of using his mother’s account, writing, ‘Put your mom phone DOWN!!!!!’
One user joked with the youngster, asking him to reveal his model mum’s personal credit card information.
They wrote: ‘Saint quick, what are the numbers on your mom’s Amex??’
Another comment quipped that Saint was using all of his nepo-𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 resources. A ‘nepo-𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦’ is a term used to describe someone who has found success in their career due to their parents’ fame — derived from the term ‘nepotism.’

‘Mama bear is really building up her son’s future career, good for them fr,’ one penned.
‘Love this. Let your kids create,’ another chimed in.
Another account jokingly recreated how Saint could have asked his mother for the shoutout, writing, ‘Was he like “hey mom shoutout my YouTube please.'”
One user added, ‘Seeing nepotism happen and its supporters is hilarious.’
Back in October, the reality star revealed she made him sign and agree to a contract with special terms and conditions, if he wanted a channel on the platform.
And it appeared as though the eight-year-old breached the terms of the deal just a week before election day by sharing posts poking fun at Vice President Harris.
One post showed an image of a cartoon character claiming he ‘stepped in sh*t’ with an image of Vice President Harris on the bottom of the shoe.
According to social media posts, Saint had purportedly posted a meme that depicted a picture of Harris in an inflammatory manner in late October

Kardashian — who shares daughters North, 11, and Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five, with ex-husband Kanye West , 47 — has ties to both presidential candidates amid her criminal justice reform efforts in recent years.
She had a meeting with Harris at the White House this past April and worked extensively with former president and Republican Donald Trump on previous efforts.
Kardashian initially went to the White House in 2018 on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson, a woman who received a life sentence in 1996 over nonviolent drug charges.
