The paparazzi managed to take pictures and videos of Kim and her son, but as soon as Saint West saw the camera people, he made a rude sign towards them.

Saint West has shown paparazzi the middle finger a few times earlier as well

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Saint has shown his middle finger to shutterbugs or behaved rudely with them.

In September 2023, a video caught the attention of people which showed Saint showing his middle finger to the paparazzi. At the time, he was leaving a basketball game in Los Angeles with Kim Kardashian. She immediately saw him flipping paparazzi off and scolded him right there. She also tried to cover his face from the paparazzi at the time.

However, there was an incident prior to this as well when Saint behaved badly with the paparazzi. In March 2022, a video made its rounds on the internet and showed Saint West catching a glimpse of the paparazzi and yelling, "Bye, fat people," at them. At the time, Kim tried hiding his face once again as they walked away from the shutterbugs.

Kim Kardashian shares four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West with her former husband and rapper Kanye West.
