KIM Kardashian has received backlash over her birthday tribute to her sister Kourtney as some think she stole the spotlight.
Kim gave a shoutout to the birthday girl on Instagram with a series of swimsuit photos of the siblings.
In the pics, the girls are each posing in royal blue bathing suits on the beach.
One snap shows the pair walking on the sand as Kim donned biker shorts and a matching bra with her long dark locks flowing down in loose waves for the photoshoot.
Kourtney stood beside her younger sister sporting a one-piece suit with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
Other photos capture the duo diving and swimming in the water with the sun beaming down.

The SKIMS founder shared a sweet message in the comments to honor her sister’s special day.
“Each year around the sun with you I learn and grow and evolve more because of you! Thank you for teaching me to always go for it and follow my heart even if no one else understands.
“They just aren’t on our growth path lol Happy Birthday @kourtneykardash! Happiness looks so good on you. I love you so much!!!”
Kim’s heartfelt message, however, ignited some harsh feedback from Reddit users who thought the star was attempting to steal her sister’s thunder.
After the original poster shared a snapshot of Kim’s post with the caption: “NAME everything WRONG with Kims birthday IG post to Kourtney (Awards),” a slew of others chimed in with their thoughts.
One person responded in the thread: “Kim made it about her,” while another agreed Kim may have had other intentions, saying it looked like it was a “Skims Swim ad.”
A third person echoed the statement, commenting: “The distance between them in the picture and the caption is obvious. The photo looks like a SKIMS ad no a birthday endearing post to a older sister.”
The backlash continued from critics as another said: “Gosh Kim really is jealous of Kourt. A skims ad for her birthday?”
Another remarked: “Kim is center-stage, as usual.”
BIRTHDAY LOVE
Over the weekend, the Poosh founder was showered with birthday love by her fiancé Travis Barker.
Kourtney took to her Instagram stories on Thursday to share a glimpse at some of her birthday gifts from friends and family.
The reality star received several beautiful bouquets of flowers, most namely an arrangement of white and blush roses from Travis, 46.
The TV personality also documented a festive birthday cake, sculpted in the shape of Mickey Ears, covered in black sprinkles, and finished off with her name written in yellow icing.
Kourtney slowly sliced the cake in the clip, exposing white and red cake layers with white icing in between.
An explosion of white, red, and black sprinkles spilled out onto the table.
The Hulu star captioned her post: “Yummmm and yes I know I forgot the plate in the last slide,” as the cake scattered all over the kitchen counter.
