Kim Kardashian made a notable choice on May 2, 2026, attending the second day of her daughter North West’s Los Angeles pop-up event instead of the early stages of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
Kardashian confirmed her plans on social media, sharing a promotional image for the event and writing she was “otw,” signaling she was on her way to the venue. She had missed the opening night of the two-day activation, which was organized to support North’s debut EP N0rth4evr.
The timing coincided with the Miami Grand Prix weekend, where her partner, Lewis Hamilton, was competing. Her absence from qualifying underscored her decision to prioritize her daughter’s milestone moment in Los Angeles.
The pop-up, held in collaboration with Complex, offered fans an immersive experience centered around the project, including exclusive merchandise and early access to the music. The two-day event marked North West’s first major public rollout as a music artist.

Lewis Hamilton Shuts Down Critics Targeting His Relationship
Lewis Hamilton faced scrutiny following his sixth-place finish at the March 29 Japanese Grand Prix in Tokyo, which was his lowest result of the season. The race was won by Kimi Antonelli, while Hamilton’s result followed earlier finishes of third in China and fourth in Australia.
Reports cited a tactical error as a factor in the outcome. Amid the result, commentary linked his performance to his relationship with Kim Kardashian. An insider said, “Kim was not actually at the race, but she was in Tokyo with him the week before, so she’s getting dragged into this.”
The source added, “She skipped the race because she didn’t want to get blamed if he didn’t win, but somehow people are still pointing the finger at her, which feels pretty unfair, but naturally it’s getting in his head.”

Another insider described the reaction to the finish, stating, “He’s used to being on the podium so to come in sixth is a huge shock.”
Hamilton has defended Kardashian amid the discussion. “No doubt he’s reeling over it, and having everyone tell him Kim is to blame doesn’t exactly help the relationship. He’s not the type to pass the buck and he’s sticking up for her, but it’s still a lot of noise to deal with when he’s trying to stay focused and get back on form.”
