Kim Kardashian clashes with Kanye West over North West’s bold new look

North West’s edgy new look ignites feud between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West as fans debate who’s right

Kim Kardashian is once again at the centre of family drama after her daughter North West’s daring new look went viral on TikTok, prompting a clash with ex-husband Kanye West. The 12-year-old attended Playboi Carti’s Antagonist 2.0 Tour wearing fluorescent blue braids, a black graphic outfit, silver jewellery and blue contact lenses that had fans both stunned and divided.

While Kim proudly defended her daughter’s individuality, Kanye was reportedly furious. Sources claim the rapper bombarded Kim with angry messages, accusing her of encouraging behaviour he found inappropriate. Insiders told RadarOnline that Kanye even threatened legal action if Kim failed to tone down North’s fashion choices, calling the young star’s outfit too revealing.

Social media quickly picked sides. On X, users questioned whether Kim was letting fame influence her parenting, while others slammed Kanye for hypocrisy, pointing out that his partner Bianca Censori often steps out in see-through clothing. Fans accused him of double standards, saying he was more interested in control than parenting.

Kim, however, has refused to engage in another public feud. Insiders close to the reality star say she is focused on protecting North’s creativity and confidence. She reportedly passed Kanye’s texts to her lawyer rather than responding directly. Friends of Kim describe her as proud of her daughter’s imagination, adding that she always ensures North’s style remains age-appropriate despite the boldness.

The viral moment has reignited debate about how much freedom celebrity children should have when expressing themselves online. For Kim Kardashian, who has long faced scrutiny for her own fashion and fame, the backlash feels familiar. Yet those around her insist she is doing what she always does best, staying calm, ignoring Kanye’s fury and supporting her child’s growing identity.

North, seemingly unfazed by the controversy, shared a sweet birthday post for her mother, thanking Kim for always standing by her side. For fans, it was the perfect reminder that behind all the noise, the bond between Kim and North remains unshaken.
