Kim Kardashian couldn’t be prouder of her oldest son, eight-year-old Saint West, as he achieves new heights at such a tender age, according to her Instagram Stories.
The media mogul and reality TV star, 43, took to her Stories to share a video of her son becoming a young basketball star, as Kim revealed that he had made his All Star team.
“Saint made the All Star team,” she captioned a video shared on Saturday. “They won and he played so good,” she gushed.
In the clip, Saint was seen easily dribbling the ball away from his opponent and across the court, wearing his jersey emblazoned with the name “West,” and at one point also scored an easy basket, with the crowd (particularly his proud mom) cheering him on.
Kim shares Saint and his younger brother Psalm, four, plus older sisters North, ten, and Chicago, six, with her ex-husband Kanye West, who celebrated a major achievement of his own with his daughter North.
The controversial rapper earned his 11th consecutive number one album on the Billboard 200 this past week with the collaborative record Vultures 1 with Ty Dolla $ign, which has received mixed reviews.
One of the singles off the album, “Talking,” also featured a guest verse from none other than ten-year-old North, who is credited as a co-writer on the track, although not as an official featured artist.
With the album’s debut, the song also made its entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 30, marking North’s first ever charting track and making her one of the youngest ever artists to make the chart altogether.

In 1993, soon after turning five, the song charted on the Hot 100 (peaking at 58), thereby making him the youngest artist in Billboard history to have a Hot 100 hit.

However, the ultimate record belongs to another famous youngin’, this time being Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s oldest, 12-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, who was featured on her father’s song “Glory” released days after her birth.

Seven years later, in 2019, Blue collaborated with her mom on the song “Brown Skin Girl,” which won a Grammy for Best Music Video in 2020, and made Blue the youngest individually credited Grammy winner in history.
