Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter North West sparked massive online debate after unveiling a bold transformation on TikTok featuring long blue braids, bright blue contacts, fake face tattoos, a faux septum piercing, and black grillz at an OsamaSon concert.
North captioned one post “Fake piercings and fake tatts for life” while posing with friends in coordinated edgy looks. The viral videos showed the group traveling on a private jet before heading backstage, embracing their temporary star-under-the-eye tattoos and henna hand designs with matching manicures.
Fans immediately questioned Kim and Kanye’s parenting, with one commenting “What in the Kanye West is happening?” while others suggested “North West” should “go be a kid.” Kim recently addressed parenting challenges on the Call Her Daddy podcast, admitting balancing North’s creativity with her age has been difficult.
The controversy comes as Kim defends her daughter’s self-expression, explaining North prefers tomboyish styles and loves experimenting with fashion. South African fans compared her look to TV personality Shamiso Mosaka, bridging Hollywood and international street style. Despite divided opinions, many praised Kim for allowing North to explore her identity during adolescence.
