Kim Kardashian fought the idea of eight-year-old son starting a YouTube channel

Kim Kardashian was "fighting against" the idea of her son having a YouTube channel.

The 43-year-old reality superstar - who has North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and five-year-old Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West - recently saw her second child launch a social media presence and described the whole thing as a "blessing in disguise" because of how it has brought hm closer to his older sister.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Follow Saint on YouTube because he stalks me every single day! It's hard because I'm here and I need to approve every video but I will say that it has brought him and North closer together because she's filming his content and making him do challenges so it's actually a blessing in disguise. I was fighting against it but it's working in my favour!"

Kim revealed earlier this month that she had "finally allowed" her eldest boy to launch an account on the platform, but compiled a strict list of rules for his posts first.

The 'Kardashians' star shared the handwritten contract on her Instagram Story and wrote: "Saint signed a solid contract for his YouTube Channel. He better not breach."

The document - which was signed by Saint - acknowledged the youngster “agreed to follow mom’s rules.”

It stated: “I am not allowed to comment any personal family information. I am not allowed to film any personal information. I am not allowed to film while North is recording music.”

Kim's caption then obscured the next few sentences, but it then continued: “I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to any grown up if mom says to delete my video for any reason.”

And if Saint breaches the terms, the youngster's stint on the video platform could be up.
