Fatherhood Quote by Kim Kardashian

"I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'"

About this Quote

There’s a familiar Kardashian paradox packed into these lines: the insistence on hustle as both identity and absolution. “I feel lazy when I’m not working” isn’t just a work ethic flex; it’s a preemptive rebuttal to the oldest critique of celebrity-as-product: that fame is unearned. She’s not simply saying she works hard. She’s saying rest feels like moral failure. In a culture that treats busyness as virtue, that’s a savvy way to convert relentless productivity into legitimacy.

Then she pivots to inheritance, but not the kind people usually accuse her of. “I learned all my business sense from my dad” reframes nepotism as education, legacy as mentorship. It’s a canny move: she anchors her brand in a figure associated with seriousness and professional credibility. Even if audiences know the family’s wealth and visibility were structural advantages, she offers a different origin story - not luck, but training.

The final line lands because it swaps PR polish for something tender and unmarketable: a father’s confidence delivered as a last blessing. “I’m not worried about you” doubles as eulogy and brand thesis. It suggests she’s been preparing for survival, not just stardom, and it quietly recruits the listener into that intimacy. The subtext is reassurance aimed outward as much as inward: if the person who knew her best trusted her to be OK, maybe the public should stop treating her success as a fluke and start reading it as inevitability.
