Toddler Asks Kim Kardashian Why She's Famous

Trending News: Why Is Kim Kardashian Famous? Even She Doesn't Know

Why Is This Important?

Because a tiny kid just asked Kim Kardashian the question we’ve all wanted answered for years.

Long Story Short

A little boy questioned Kim Kardashian on why she’s famous and she couldn’t provide any answers, in a hilarious exchange documented on Snapchat.

Long Story

There's no argument that Kim Kardashian has one of the most famous faces in the world (and an even more recognizable booty), but these days it seems like she’s mostly famous for being famous. While adults can (kind of?) wrap our heads around the concept, try explaining that to a toddler.

But while any TV presenter who wants to remain in a job would never be able to ask the question, a toddler called Sid pulled no punches and subjected Kim to a hilarious interrogation, captured by Snapchat and posted by Mashable.

“Why are you in magazines?” Sid asks, to which Kim manages: “I don’t know, cause I like magazines.”

Sid then steps up his questioning with: “Are you famous?” and Kim produces the oddly shy response of: “Um, I don’t like to use that term." The same can’t exactly be said of her husband Kanye West who wrote a whole song about how famous they are.

Then Sid goes in for the kill and pipes up with: “How are you famous?” All Kim can muster is the reply: “That’s up for question, too.”

As the question hung in the air, Sid’s mom weighed in to suggest the key to Kim’s multi-million dollar empire is: “she’s got a big booty."

That was probably a more tactful response than saying that she was Paris Hilton’s stylist then featured in a "leaked" sex tape with a D-list celebrity before her family got a reality TV show…. 

Still, after the awkward interview with Sid, Kim can console herself with her $51 million earnings in the last year, which placed her at number 42 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list.

Interestingly, 40% of her annual pay came from her mobile game "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," which has been downloaded 45 million times since June 2014. So maybe Kim should’ve said that she’s a "gaming mogul."

And as for Sid, a bright future as a hard-hitting journalist awaits.

I honestly think that if Kim focused on fewer projects, this wouldn't be as big of a question.

Drop This Fact

Kim Kardashian was the second most Googled person in 2014 behind Jennifer Lawrence. She was so prevalent in the news that a British app called KardBlock was invented to remove Kardashian mentions from your news feeds.
