Kanye West: My daughter North is on TikTok against my will
Kanye West is crowdsourcing advice over his daughter North’s TikTok account.
The “Monster” rapper shared a screenshot to Instagram Friday of the 8-year-old from one of her videos, which are posted with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian’s approval, and wrote, “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 ?”
Reps for Kardashian and West didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.
West, 44, has expressed his disapproval of his eldest child’s presence on the app before, telling Jason Lee of “Hollywood Unlocked” that he didn’t want any of his four kids using it.
“My children ain’t going to be on TikTok without my permission,” he said in the interview in January.
Kardashian, 41, and North launched the joint account in November with videos of a “spa day” and their Thanksgiving decorations. North did hit a snafu about a month later when she went live without the Skims founder’s permission while giving a tour of their house.
“Mom, I’m live,” she said between giggles.
“No, stop. You’re not allowed to,” Kardashian could be heard scolding North as she filmed her mom lying in bed on her phone.
“OK, bye,” North said, while continuing to film, as she caught her mom asking, “Is she really live?” before the video cut out.
Following the incident, North’s cousin Mason Disick texted Kardashian to advise her not to let North go live.
“Hi I don’t wanna disrespect North but I don’t think she should do the lives unless someone is with her because people are always screen recording and she might tell information that isn’t correct and stuff like that, that she will regret,” Mason, 12, wrote to his Aunt Kiki in text messages she shared via Instagram Stories.
“I did the exact same thing as she did I would do the lives and now I regret saying one of the things I said,” the son of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick added, seemingly referring to when he denied that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were back together in March 2020 while going live on Instagram.
Ye and Kim, who separated in early 2021, also share 6-year-old son Saint, 4-year-old daughter Chicago and 2-year-old son Psalm.
