NORTH West has sparked concern after the 10-year-old exhibits a sudden change in behavior on the TikTok account she shares with her mom, Kim Kardashian.
Recently, the Skims founder revealed she regretted allowing her daughter to rap the mature lyrics of an Ice Spice song on TikTok during an interview with Time Magazine.

On Sunday, Kim, 42, posted a new video to their mother-daughter account that excluded North altogether.
The Hulu star donned a TikTok filter over her face as performed a choreographed dance to a sped-up version of Doechii’s What It Is.
This isn’t the first time preteen has gone missing from the popular social media platform.
Earlier this year, North surprised fans with she suddenly stopped posting for several days.
Several took to Reddit to discuss the reason behind her noticeable absence.
“North (and Kim) have gone quiet on TikTok. She usually posts like 5 a day- why the sudden silence?” one asked alongside a screenshot of Kim and her daughter’s shared profile.
“Maybe Kim got called out for baiting a Kanye reaction, while also crying about their f**ked up family situation in interviews,” another suggested.
“For the love of God! Please get north (and all minor children) off of social media!!!” a third encouraged.
A fourth remarked: “I’m going to go ahead and take this as a win… I’m sorry but they are so annoying to watch and cringe ‘they’ as in the videos not North, she’s perfect but Kim is so annoying and fake.”
“Maybe she became a mother who puts the needs of her children over herself and her desire to remain famous,” a fifth guessed sarcastically.
“Maybe everyone including Kim realized how unhinged and weird the content being posted was and decided to take a break to regroup,” a final commenter claimed.
PRETEEN PARENTING
The TV personality opened up about a mistake she recently made with the 10-year-old during an interview in the Time Magazine 2023 issue.
During the sit-down, Kim discussed the challenges she’s faced by allowing her pre-teen daughter to be so active on social media.
While mentioning an incident where North rapped the mature lyrics of an Ice Spice song on TikTok earlier this year, Kim confessed it wasn’t her fondest parenting moment.
“As soon as I saw the words, I was like, ‘Oh no, we’re taking this down,'” The Kardashians star said. “I saw on the internet, [people saying] ‘Kanye was right,’ and maybe he was in that instance.”

Kim shares North and her three younger children: Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four, with her ex-husband Kanye West, 46, who’s been vocal about his disapproval of their young daughter on the social media app.
However, the reality star stressed the importance of the youngster having access to TikTok, which Kim previously claimed she only does via her mother’s phone on their joint account.
“But she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, and I will fight for her to be creative,” the model insisted.
Despite this, Kim recognized that she made an error in judgment by letting North post the video, which was one of many North shared during the rapper’s visit to their $60million Los Angeles mansion in March.
Kim deleted many of the clips after receiving backlash from fans, though she kept one of North doing a duet with Ice Spice.
KANYE’S RANT
Last year, Kanye slammed his ex-wife for allowing North to be on the app and claimed it was happening “against his will.”
He posted a screenshot on Instagram of North from one of her TikTok videos and tagged Kim in the shot.
Kanye asked his followers: “SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW. WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL?”
He also previously shared his outrage over North wearing makeup on the site, saying it was done “without my permission.”
Kim and North’s shared account was briefly deactivated in April, leading fans to believe it was in response to Kanye’s outbursts.
However, TMZ claimed the elementary school student was just “trying something new,” and the account returned several hours later.
CHANGE OF HEART
Kanye reportedly had a change of heart about North West’s TikTok usage after he previously slammed Kim Kardashian for their daughter’s videos.
The rapper reportedly seems accepting of the online content North has posted so far.
A source close to the Yeezy founder claimed to US Magazine that the Donda rapper has slightly changed his stance.
The insider claimed: “Although Kanye disagrees with North being allowed to post on TikTok, he appreciates Kim being reasonable about certain content she posts.
“Kanye has a really strong bond with North, and even though he completely trusts her, he knows she’s still very young and can’t always make the best judgment call on what’s appropriate to share with the public and what’s not.”
