KIM Kardashian showed off the massive cake of her Vogue cover, gifted to her by sister Khloe, as she joked that she 'loves seeing her face'.

The magazine cover led to some controversy, as fans accused the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum of blackfishing.

Kim unboxed the cake on her Instagram Story, thanking her pals in a video.

The cake sat open as the KKW Beauty mogul talked.

"My besties know me well," she said.

Kim, 41, went on: "I would love nothing more than to come home to a Hanson's cake with a photo of myself on it."

She showed the card that accompanied the cake, saying: "My Bat Chat were also featured in Vogue," referencing a group chat that includes sister Khloe and pal Steph Shepherd.

The reality star did not address the drama surrounding her cover, posting only praise.

Kim shared several quotes pulled from the piece, including one about choosing herself, and a series of photos of her and her kids.

The SKIMS founder shares four children with ex Kanye West. The exes are parents to North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.

BLACKFISHING BACKLASH

Hours after Kim's Vogue cover was shared on the magazine's Instagram account, backlash erupted on social media.

Fans accused the KUWTK alum of "blackfishing," noting how much darker Kim's skin looked in the photos.

Posting photos that showed Kim with lighter, natural-looking skin alongside her darker tan in the photoshoot, the Reddit user who started the thread wrote: “Here we see Kim's original skin colour, Kim with a tan and Kim blackfishing.”

A second user commented: “This is not even her normal skin tone.”

Another critic questioned the person who shot the cover, asking why they believed Kim’s tan was “a good idea.”

This is hardly the first time Kim has been accused of blackfishing.

In 2021, Kim shared a Story of her hands on her Instagram Story, leading to eagle-eyed fans pointing out how different they looked from the rest of her body.

Kim's one hand appeared significantly darker than the other, with her writing:

"Body makeup is perfect for hands bc my hands are always pale & our formula is waterproof so you can wash your hands!

"We used color Light/Medium."

Fans weren't thrilled, immediately slamming her online.

One wrote: "It must be so exhausting having to tint your skin darker every time you do a shoot or something."

Another commented: "I mean she is also known for blackfishing a bunch. So I get the frustration."

Someone else added: "If she stopped wearing all that s**t, her skin might be able to catch some f***in' vitamin D and tan naturally."

KANYE DRAMA

In addition to the backlash over the skin in the Vogue cover, Kim is in the midst of a heated feud with Kanye.

In a series of Instagram posts, Kanye accused Kim of "kidnapping" their daughter Chicago and claimed she said he was stealing and using "drugs."

He also claimed Kim accused him of having "put out a hit on her."

The drama began with Kanye publicly slamming Kim for letting North post on TikTok.

Kanye later deleted them from his account.
